The Alpha Foxtrot Attila Now Has Over 1000 Rounds – Video Posted

This video details my ownership experience with the gun thus far.

1082 rounds have been shot out of the gun. There have been no feed/extract issues. There have been no reliability issues whatsoever.

As well, due to YouTube being extremely tyrannical, I’ve taken extra steps to ensure my videos are compliant with their terms of service. Because of that, there’s a banner being depicted when embedding the video into this blog post. This is something I can’t avoid. Apologies.

Below is the Rumble link. Although I’d rather use Rumble (to counter YouTube tyranny), YouTube gets far more traffic. I’ve had little success in getting my Rumble-posted videos to gain traction.

Weapon-Mounted Light

I Decided To Purchase The Olight PL-X Tactical Light!

I bought an Olight PL-X and it arrived yesterday.

The pink elephant in the room: Yes, this is a Chinese brand. No, I’ve no problem purchasing Chinese merchandise.

The outstanding packaging surprised me. The instructions are good, too.

I love the fact that it’s rechargeable (the Streamlight TLR-7X is also rechargeable).

I was able to quickly install it on my Springfield Armory Prodigy DS Compact. I haven’t yet tried to install it on my Alpha Foxtrot Attila, as I’m still awaiting for the new holster to be built (it will accommodate the PL-X light).

The light is extremely bright and can be easily configured and managed.

It’s build quality feels more expensive (by a lot) than the TLR-7X. It is rock solid and has heft.

I mainly was curious about the PL-X because I hate the little c-clips that Streamlight uses as retaining clips. They’re very small and difficult to manage. I’ve already lost one and the light only comes with two of them. Yes, I can order more from Streamlight, but I’d have to buy an $18 pack of other equipment to get them. Yes, I can probably go to Ace Hardware to obtain some, but I’m not going to be chasing down such small parts just for the sake of a tactical light. I’d rather find a new light that doesn’t have such issues.

As with everything I buy, I’ll report if I’ve any issues with the light.

I Ordered A Second QVO Tactical “More Discreet” IWB Holster

Yes, I ordered a second holster from QVO Tactical.

Why? I want to try the Olight PL-X weapon-mounted light and my current More Discreet holster will only accommodate the Streamlight TLR-7X.

This particular holster is barebones. Well, not really…as with the first holster, I opted for the metal wing and dual plastic clips, but I didn’t opt for an overlay and also opted to keep the black kydex.

I tried to cut costs, so the holster is somewhat minimal (at $88, with the options I chose).

I also ordered an Olight PL-X – it should arrive tomorrow.
