Their new laser is on pre order. Visually looks cool. https://smslaser.com/products/trinity?variant=47660285853946 |

What are you guys doing for switch setups? Im finding the center battery cap is a pain for having a switch behind it. Using 18650 cap makes it even worse. Edit: 10" larue mlok rail so its kinda tight. BCM angled vfg. I may just try using the button on the unit. |

What are you mounting it on? Any switch with a "crane" style lead will work with the hfxc I have it at the end of handguard w/ a unity hotbutton slightly further back to work with the grip camp c™ hold

I’m just using the button on the unit. The offset makes it play nice with the streamlight at 1 o’clock, to use the cap button on that as well. |

From what I could gather it looks like pre-orders opened up and we should see them maybe in late October or November time frame after they've taken the slow boat and cleared customs? Could be a game changer. With the IPX ratings, this is apparently rated IPX8, which is one meter continuous immersion in water. However, it's not IP-68 is both water and dust. Wouldn't the fact that it's water proof pretty much mean that it's dust proof as well or is that not necessarily true? |

I finally got around to ordering one. Ordered Monday, already shipped. (FDE green laser) EDIT: I own several "real" lasers. This thing rocks ... Tracking is spot on and after 300 rounds, I have no issues with it "keeping zero." I am not sure where people get this misconception that LAM are/were intended to hold zero indefinitely. We regularly checked zero before heading out. If "drift" was an issue, the LAM was replaced. I typically do not like an attached white light but got enough recommendations from people I trust to try one out. I plan to order at least one more and will probably jump on the pre-order on a Trinity. |

This thing is a really nice 4-function LAM for under $300 delivered. Very impressed with it so far. Attached File |

Only metric i have to go on. |

I got my HFXC yesterday afternoon and got to play with it a little last night in the backyard. Holy crap this thing is stronk in super secret squirrel mode! I haven't had time to do any live fire zeroing, but out of the box the lasers seem to align with my red dot, albeit offset to the value of having it on the left side of my handguard at 9 0'clock. The visible laser is definitely daylight bright in high-power. I'm duly impressed with this sub 300 dollar lam! |
I plan to hit the range later tonight. Threw it on my ARAK bullpup. (Triad chasis)   |

I ordered an FDE/green laser HFXC. I'm quite hopeful for it! I'm building a NV upper that's as light as possible, while retaining a solid handguard for the laser's zero. Ballistic Advantage 11.5 pencil barrel at the core. I'm still on the hunt for a NV compatible Eotech.  " />
