Strike Industries seems to be one of the corniest manufacturers out there IMO.
They do make some good innovations though with some products. They at least think outside the box. This is not one of them. |

Meh, I can see where some folks might like something like that; some folks like flared mag wells on their ARs too. I'm sure for $13 (price on their website) someone here will try it but it won't be me.

That actually doesn't seem like a bad idea for an upgrade.

I honestly don’t get it. What’s the benefit here? Just lengthens the back side of the mag well?

Strike makes a fantastic suppressor-height sight set for Glocks and P320s. Greay BUIS option for dotted guns.

Not all (or even most) of their products are home runs, but they're more adventurous than 99% of other accessory manufacturers and have no qualms about trying silly ideas.
I like them just for that fact even though I only have a few things from them. |

Their pistol brace is cool in my book. They even have an MPX CQB version I like too. Their cobra grip is ok too.
I'm not sure about most of the other stuff though. I have little experience with there other stuff, but I get "HERA feels" from most of it... And I've never digged red or blue on my guns unless they are training aids or a tricked out racegun. |

A trigger guard that doesn't need to be roll punched in sounds pretty cool. That other deal kind of unnoticeable? Dumb?

They're hit or miss. From what I can tell they offer certain products with no real competition.
As an example - the no-machining "scorpion" reflex mount for Glocks. $50 and it'll mount just about any RDS solidly. |

I don't have anything from them in red or dark blue or light blue (have you seen their special light blue color with Optics Planet?)
But I do have a lot of their charging handles in FDE and black since they are 7075 and NOT painted. They are a solid deal.  One thing I will say about a lot of their rail stuff that is really cool is that it fits both MLOK (two directions) and  I have a couple of their angled QD mounts as well. They seem fine.  It is hit or miss with them. I've been meaning to try out their 7075 buffer tubes. They are not made in the USA, but they are also not made in China. |

Their extended latch charging handles aren't bad, and I also like that they sell the extended latch separately.

Doesn’t seem that bad to me.
I like the way it installs easily. I guess it uses captured pins. In this day and age you’d think it would be common practice to use captured spring loaded pins to install and retain a trigger guard instead of roll pins or screws. Strike industries does think outside the box and when they introduce something it becomes available and you don’t have to wait years to actually see it. I don’t love everything they make but they do work hard. |
