This is the cleanest, most to the point, functional, practical build I've seen on this WHOLE thread. Everything you need, nothing you don't. You don't see a lot of people still using the LMT fixed rear sight. It's solid and purposeful. You'll see my build shortly looking almost identical, exception being the red dot sight. I run an old issued M68.

I agree, it's an excellent looking package. What barrel length is this one? 10.5"? I think this particular pistol is the one that has convinced me to get a kit.

Appreciate you guys.
It's a Colt upper of 10.3" length - from the factory. I think it was a Mk18 mod 0.
I bought it for that reason and then, of course, we trick it out in different ways.

Right now it's really cool in that particular configuration - as you noticed.

Was it worth the wait?
It looks pretty nice.

I actually had a "notify me when in stock" subscription and forgot about it. Once it came in I ordered one. I was disappointed they took a week of processing before shipping it, I expected better based on past experiences but given the holiday season it is forgivable.

Install was too easy and IMO it appears well made. The spring loaded extension makes for a quick deploy. Flipping off safety on a standard safety is not easy, but unless you are wearing plates I don't see much shooting it while retracted. If you have facial hair, keep it on the pad and away from the castle nut, I lost some hair trying it from the collapsed position.

I don't have experience with the Maxim, the price tag was just too heavy. But with multiple positions and having a larger "brace" (as opposed to fin/stabilizer), I am sure it is more comfortable than the Strike. But for me $300-$400 is just not justifiable. Frankly the Law Folder and SBA3 is my favorite. The SBA3 looks great, feels great. When folded no extra length is added to the rear of the receiver set. I haven't shot with the Strike PDW yet but there is just simply no way it is as comfortable as the SBA3.
