All of the open gun pictures you're seeing are from the 1st gun I built as R&D. It has some of the first parts right off the machine. We felt the need to start marketing the open gun given certain circumstances. I wish I had a better version ready before the pictures were made but I didn't.

There has been a tremendous amount of updating needed and I'm working as fast as I can to improve these guns. I'm also testing different types of ammo and working with a couple ammo companies to develop and offer an "off the shelf" 9 major ammo for customers that don't reload. Some ammo has worked better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning to get back into idpa and my limited gun won't work for idpa so I've been eyeing this. Also does anyone know if mpa will ship the gun with neutered 10 round mags? Yes sir! Just request 10 round mags when you order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not concerned with completely blending everything on a test gun. We'll have better pictures for you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it sorta turns me off because they just do not look ready. But if you can get these right, they will be a great value. And I still am considering one.

You can get them with the Accuracy X red dot sight base. So you can have irons with a red dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the accuracy x setup is decent but if you want to swap from red dot to irons you have to re sight in the irons every time. Kinda dumb.

The screws mounting the sight plate are under the leaf of the sight. So you loose your elevation adjustment. Not to mention the two small springs may get lost also.
