I've found a new razor blade in a utility knife cuts through the nylon while also scoring the plastic inner part of the belt enough to be able to snap it cleanly, followed by a torch on the end and some epoxy for good measure.

Thank you! All set, that fixed it. It must have walked out a little.

I'll second the dominate defense inner belt for rigidity. However, I've found with any ratchet system the inner belt matters much less.

On one of my 2011's when I rack the slide with my finger depressing the trigger I can feel a click. It happens just before half cock, maybe with the slide ~1/4" or so back. When compared with other 2011's, both mine and a friend's (of the same make), none of them do that. The gun so far has run flawlessly, but on my last full tear down I noticed some wear on the sear on the side opposite the hammer engagement. Any thoughts on the cause? I don't want to willy nilly replace parts or fit things when I don't understand the reason.

I think Black Scorpion is the only one that has a Rival S specific race holster: https://www.blackscorpiongear.com/products/canik-sfx-rival-s-pro-heavy-duty-competition-speed-holster-w-magnets But there's also the DAA Flex: https://www.doublealpha.biz/us/daa-flex-holsters And the Guga Ribas: https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Browse-by-Manufacturer/Guga-Ribas/Guga-Ribas-Competition-Holster

Almost exactly my situation, but I used the Max vs. the XL.

I do as also. With the 507, I find myself using the 8 moa ring with the dot in the middle. It's not the best solution, but it's a decent compromise. At match speed, I don't really notice it. The dot only, with brightness cranked up does appear to be a bit larger as well, but not 6MOA. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews on the SFJ2. It fits all of the parameters. But, unfortunately like the Holosun, it's made in China which will definitely deter some folks. Totally agree...though I'm not sure how easy or non cost prohibitive that would be.

I have one on an Atlas Athena. So far I like it. I've only had it a month but it has held zero through about 500 rounds. Dot is bright and decently shaped even with my astigmatism. Glass is good, no distortion at the edges and doesn't seem to add any magnification that I can see. It does have a slight blue tint but no worse than the Romeo 3 Max. Buttons are good, they have a tactile feel when pressing them, I'd say on par with the 507 Comp, definitely better than the SRO. It seems pretty good overall. I don't like it as much as the 507 Comp, but I do like it more than the SRO, that's just me, I hate the SRO glass. I'm not sure why but the SRO glass just doesn't seem clear at all, and I've tried several. I'm not saying it's better than the SRO, but I personally prefer it over the SRO. I bought it on a total whim and I'm not disappointed. I'm going to use it for this upcoming season with no reservations.

Just got two of them from a friend of mine that did a "group buy" for some of us. Very nice. I also grabbed a couple of shoot steel static poppers as well.

Great review. Pros and Cons seem more than fair. Seems a little on the pricey side, but it appears to be very well made so could be a buy once, cry once sort of thing. I don't think I'd buy one for personal use, but if I was running matches I'd certainly consider it.

I'm interested as well. Too bad they used one of the not so common in competition mounting options (Doctor/Noblex). Other than that, it looks pretty cool for sure.

Thanks Guys. I tried cheaping out on my Fixits and bought the tools without the bits...I should know better.
