What's the difference between the "new for 2022 updated" Wilcox arm and the previous generation?

@JSGlock34

I apologize I missed this until now!

The new arm basically combines the two best features of the previous arms (there used to be two). Wilcox ditched those arms but it's possible some sellers may have new old stock. We only have the new arm although they are currently backordered.

There were two PVS-14 arms for using a single PVS-14 with a G24 or G22E that are now discontinued and this new arm replaces both.

Original arm let's call it arm#1 was just like this new one except it was straight. It didn't have cant like the USGI j-arm. Mainly retail users complained that they couldn't get the PVS-14 close enough to their eye.

Wilcox then made arm#2 that added cant similar to the USGI j-arm and they also added a switch that was intended to turn off the -14 when pushing the G24s button to stow it. This switch function reliability was shall we say "iffy". Folks bought this arm for the cant which allowed the -14 to get closer to the user's eye.

The new arm has the cant and no switch.

ETA: Wilcox still have a PVS-14 arm with a switch but it is only compatible with the Wilcox binocular bridge. It will not work on a G24 alone. DO NOT get this arm unless you are using it with the Wilcox bridge.
