I'm also insanely excited to get mine. I did a black friday buy. I frankly don't care if they say "it's going to be three/four/five more months", but I'm starting to want to hear an accurate timeline. |

I really want one. Based on the replies, though, I’m kinda glad I waited. Hope you guys hear something soon, I’m excited for the real world reviews to start rolling in.

I'm from l the first batch in early Sept. I received a reply two weeks ago that mine would ship the middle of last week. Just got back from a cruise and no tracking number yet. I'll probably shoot another to email by Wednesday.

In anticipation of it shipping, I bought a full size 320 today on my lunch break.
I was going to get an M17 because of the manual safety, but accessing it looked to be a PITA so I'll juts use the block safety on the frame. |

Also have a black friday order in, no tracking as of yet but I knew what i was getting into. I hope this thing is all i think it can be. Might replace the APC9 for me a in a much lighter and smaller package. |

Is there a block safety on the frame? I know it was mentioned or seen in the MAC video, but I haven't heard anything else about it. Im fine either way. Let us know when you get it! MAC's had it, and as I understood his was still a prototype. When I watched the installation video on FLUX's site a while back the more recent portions with an employee describing hands on how to (not he promo video clips) used a frame with a block safety. I'm hoping there's a safety. If not, it's not a deal breaker as I also got the holster for it. |

Also, it is downright painful reading the comments on their instagram/facebook.
"Will this work with a FN509?" "Make this for the FNX-45!" "Do you need the slide cut to mount the dot?" I'd say its worse than ordinary GD members. |

I inquired about lead times and this is what I received. No specific timeline, but they seem responsive and friendly. Also, there are M17's out in th wild.
We are happy that you reached out to us. We have been shipping these Flux MP17's out for the past 3 weeks. We are currently just going down the list of customers fulfilling them in order of when they ordered. Unfortunately though, our manufacturing capabilities are still very small and we only can get a certain amount of parts in per week so that is why it is taking so long for some customers to get their MP17 orders. We are still fulfilling orders from September right now. But, we have recently taken some actions to increase our manufacturing capacity. We are helping our manufacturer get more machines so they can be making our parts 24/7. We know once we get more machines we will be able to fulfill orders at the posted lead time. Another issue that we had was that our original lead time was way off. We had an idea of how long it would be to build out our first production batches but we did not anticipate that there were going to be as many delays in the process. Our steel parts go through 5 different companies before they make it back to us for assembly and we had 3 of those companies give us delays. For multiple reasons we had to wait on manufacturing and that is something we are working on solving. Thanks for reaching out again and we hope that this makes sense. |

Well, other than the awkwardness of the writing and the poor grammar, it was nice that they responded. It looks like a great product, and I'm excited to hear reviews as members get their hands on them.

As a point of curiosity, what is the difference between the
M17 brace version and the SBR version? All I see different is the thingy in the back is a little different. Thanks! |

Roger that!
Thanks! Quote HistoryQuoted: From what I can tell, the brace is designed to be a brace, and says “Not a stock” on the back because it’s not a stock. The SBR stock is a similar shape but is designed to be a stock and has serrations on the back because it’s a stock. |

I can officially confirm they do exist. Ca.e a day early. Compensator should be here Monday. Build quality seems very high, and the brace deployment is spot on every time. I should be able to shoot it this weekend and give a complete review. I do need to trim the screws for the red dot as they make contact with the rear sight on the slide. It's an oddball brand red dot until my vortex comes in, so not something most people will have to do.
Only sort of problem....streamlight TLR-1 is not compatible with the holster.  Attached File |

No I did not. Unfortunately I have some bad news...
Circled in red is the cutout on both sides that are supposed to, according to the assembly video, have cover plates you need to remove only if your fire control has a manual safety. My frame did not have these cover plates included. As mine does not have a manual safety that area of my fire control unit is exposed. Part of what is exposed is a pin that taps loose. You can see the head of it centered in the cutout. It also must work itself loose manually running the slide. I was playing around with it getting a feel for manipulating it with reloads and such, and the pin worked its way loose and fell out one of the times I hit the slide release. I can only imagine shooting it is going to work that part loose in short order, and I don't know what would happen to my fire control unit if I set a roundoff after that pin fell out. You can also see the open slot where I assume there should be at least covers, if not a the actually cross-bolt safety. I'm hoping mine was a fluke and they're not all shipping out like this. Email went out today. I'll let you know what gets done.  Attached File |

I had a little time to swing by the range after work today. Only put 50 rounds through it and I can't wait to put a whole lot more. Functioned flawlessly. As it is a tilt action style pistol masquerading as a carbine, the recoil impulse is very strange to me but incredibly soft. There's a little flex in a the brace that may contribute to both those observations. I need to pay a bit more attention, but I just didn't have the time today. I was just ripping through the mags to make sure it functions
The thing is dead nuts accurate also. Amazing what an extra point of contact can do. Holes on holes without even trying, so I think it's safe to say the silencerco barrel is good to go. The trigger sucks, but not because it actually sucks. It doesn't feel like a pistol so I'm trying to run it like my ARs. Just something I need more practice with. |
