I uploaded video of a RS type build with a KKM and ATEi slide vs a stock Glock 19 with 124 gr HST shooting in pitch darkness.
Main thing with the comp is that you get a faint glow spread out... whereas with a bare muzzle you get an occasional large fireball. When I wasn't shooting slowly with one hand on the gun and the other on my phone camera... I noticed more consistent fireballs with the bare muzzle. Talking to my defense industry engineer/designer pal, he found bare muzzles to actually be worse for shooting through with NODs. The comp also provides the benefit of stabilizing the pistol when you're just floating it in front of your face/nods. Vid here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BUMrdGGAcP2/ Lastly: it should be noted only adjustable LED and dual illumination model RMRs can pull of NOD usage. The Leupold Delta Point Pro does not get dark enough for it unfortunately. |

https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/414440/IMG-0240-206420.JPG New holster came in. So far, just as comfortable as my VG3. I've got a 'slightly used' Raven one coming in tomorrows post... found one on Ebay and only 1 other bidder... got it for well under 1/2 price. 
Edit to add: After a few hours of wear last night and this AM... Like the VG3, it would seriously benefit from the Raven "Claw" thing used on the VG2 advanced and several AIWB kydex designs to tuck the gun butt closer to your gut. I have 2 different AIWB holsters on order... both have a 'Claw'... guessing the TR and I will part ways when either arrive unless I can rig a way to add a Claw to this thing. As it sits now, it's comfortable without a doubt standing or sitting if placed right, but the butt of my gun prints a bit more than I'd like under a T-shirt. Not enough to be screaming "Large GUN under this shirt!!!", but enough that I notice it... and I'm pretty oblivious to printing when I carry. |

TR came in already. That shipping time for a holster is impressive. Fits nice and feels nice. So far I like it. Fits my dawsons super high suppressor sights perfectly and seems to work good with my MOS. |

Since no one bothered to answer my two questions about if anybody was reloading for the Roland special and what their loads were, here is mine - 5.2 grains of Auto comp with a 124 grain bullet. This is my target this morning at 10 yards controlled pairs -
This is my Rolandish Special

I'll see if I can get either of those running well (and printing near where my 147gr Win Ranger +P's hit), if not... I'll be on the hunt for a heavier projectile. |

With both these and 147gr Hornady XTPs, they were more accurate the faster they got pushed. I have an even more accurate load but it was over max load so Im leaving it at 3.9gr.

Just got my Shield RMS mounted up. This thing is tits. Range report after I get off in a couple hours.
Quick #potatopic of my Fauxland.  Attached FileEdit: I stand by my earlier statement; the RMS is tits. Crystal clear window with zero fisheye, thin hood that almost completely disappears, and super lightweight. Auto-adjust that's super responsive, daytime bright, and seems to find that Goldilocks zone of brightness. Zeroed at 20yd and put 100rds down range. My first pistol optic and I'm still getting used to it, but I think how low it sits is definitely helping to shorten the learning curve. I'll likely swap out the crummy OEM sights for tritium at some point but I'm picky- haven't yet found a rear with a U-notch and single lamp. 10-8 would be perfect but there's that pesky set-screw

If anyone is looking for a very cheap temporary holster for their Roland, you may wan to look at the Blackhawk Omnivore. I picked one up for my wife's M&P but discovered that not only does it work with my G19 + Micro Comp but it even works with my G17 + Comp.
They make one for the Streamlight TLR1/2 and Surefire X300. I have the TLR version. I made a video about it if you want to watch.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EwbK0IalPw

Is there a comp for the goofy euro threaded glock factory barrels? I have one of those and don't want to do a whole kkm if I can find a comp for it. Otherwise I will get a kkm barrel and comp from weaponsoutfitters (if they're still in stock).

I've been running two of the new Mayhem Syndicate carry comps for a few weeks, with 700 rounds thru them between the two, and I have to say -
I love these comps. Brings it to the size of a G17, and works REALLY well. My buddy shot his Roland with the TBRCi comp back to back with my Mayhem comped G19, and he agreed that the Mayhem comp seemed to work better. Only downside is that its only sold as a complete system, due to super short threads, and the milled area for the roll pin to secure the comp to the barrel. I don't regret spending the money on these whatsoever.  2017-05-30_07-02-09 by The One and Only "B"!, on Flickr
