Stag, Spikes, Anderson, Bushmaster, Adcor etc... what makes the Anderson less than the others? Serious question because I do not know. For a fun build like my pistol build I rattle canned, it works.

Ive built many guns off Anderson lowers for myself and others and the fit and finish is as good as BCM, Bushmaster from the 90's and Colt. That being said I built a 11.5 inch pistol off a AERO upper and lower and couldnt be more happy with them and AERO is prolly going to be my go to mfgr for guns for a while |

They're far and away the most common to have problems with and that's why so many view them so negatively. That said, if it doesn't have issues, a lower is a lower. |

How is it? Sure is. I've only shot it outside during daylight so far but it's done a great job pushing the blast forward and away from me. Definitely pleasant to shoot. I'm sure my opinion will evolve as I run it under different conditions but so far I'm a big fan. |

Thank you for the tip. I am an old troll to the forum but new to postings and still learning the navigation on this forum.
Inforce WMLs have great features and stylings but my 800 lumens compared to Olight PL-Pro with what 1500 lumens I can see where you are coming from on output. |

My all PSA parts 10.5" Virginia-15 build and it's matching AK-V 9mm cousin. My two favorite firearms I currently own. I've actually spent the money I was planning on buying next gun with twice on cases of 9mm ammo cuz I just can't get enough. Funnest firearm I've ever fired hands down, it took a while to catch it in stock but was definitely worth it. I shoot the AR pistol alot too but no where near as much as the AK style pistol with the Sig Romeo 5 it's hard to not hit what your aiming for. That said, as far as optics go the Holosun 503g Primary Arms exclusive with Primary Arms ACSS reticle is so amazing with the FTS Primary Arms 6x magnifier behind it setup that I have on the AR pistol is perfection. I can flip it out of the way for CQB drills and practice or flip it back behind it and with the Chevron reticle and Bullet drop compensating dots through the 6x magnifier I can easily hit steel out to 250-300 yds and the dots actually compensate for shots all the way out to 600yds but I don't have anywhere to shoot far enough to try shots longer than 300 yds but out to 300 as long as the wind isn't horrible and I do my part hitting steel at 300 is as easy as hitting your target at 10-25 yds with open sight or RDS. Anyway I love these 2 pistols and hopefully y'all enjoy the pics. Oh and of course I had to go ahead and get the "banana clips" for both.
