I did get the Armory Craft spring kit, but holding of doing any tuning until I can get another couple hundred rounds through it. Ironically, I can get the Flux with Shiv into the holster and when I draw it out, it automatically (inadvertently?) deploys the brace. That's a nice feature. I did have one issue with my Flux, the forward grip housing would drop the mag when shooting. Jake at Flux sent me a replacement kit, but I also found out that you can use an AR15 buffer tube stop spring, cutting it into two gives you a little more tension and length  For those unaware, the forward magazine holder is a double-release mechanism. You can use the thumb latch to release just that magazine, or you can use the grip mounted magazine slide button and if you push it forward far enough it will release the grip magazine and the forward mag at the same time. It's pretty effective at speed reloads and a nice feature whether you use it or not. ROCK6 There's just nothing quite like the 365 Flux on the market. The fact that it's barely bigger than a full sized pistol, with near rifle hit capability at medium range. That button that releases both magazines is an incredible feature. I'm very much a late comer to the PDW concept, and this one is an absolute banger. |

I found this comparison between the aluminum chassis and UL version. Kind of a geeky guy, but really hits on the advantages/disadvantages for both...and he's kept both. The Flux Raider is a bad CCW and bad PDW; But it's somehow a GREAT option. ROCK6 |

Also, kudos to Flux on their LMAO advertising as they just updated their website. Between that and the original YT video. Big Black Barrel 2.0 "She may tell you 6” is “average” but that’s longer than an MP5K, TP9, Stribog, Scorpion K, Glock 34”, MPX Copperhead, MPX K even though the overall length of the Raider 365 is smaller. What we’re saying is that it’s a grower not a shower." |

Well, I've come full circle. I bought an FCU so that I can have an X Macro again. It looks like I unintentionally bought a higher end FCU, it has a metal trigger and the box says "P365 Custom Works." Meanwhile, I bought a Holosun with the incredible ACSS Vulcan reticle, which I first experienced on the HTX-1. I love this reticle. This is going to retire my Glock 43X as my carry gun.  " /> " />

Curious bout giving mine a longer LoP and more room for a full sized light. Nope, haven’t ordered the stock. I think I’ll give it about 3 months, and then if engraving is still required I’ll send it off and order the stock. I’m hoping a little more clarity comes out of the ATF next week. |

Hey, has anybody with the Flux UL attached the QD sling adapter from SRT? I picked it up a while ago and just started looking at adding it, but there are no instructions. My assumption just looking at it is that it replaces the screw that holds the spring for the brace, I just want to confirm and get feedback if anybody here has installed one. ROCK6 |
