Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MRW: @Combat_Diver I have a mind to try to make one of these. Is the material elastic, or just nylon? I think it would need to be elastic to secure the pistol. Is this a similar material? www.amazon.com/dp/B019ZMUX4Q @MRW sorry for the delay. Mine are made out of nylon. Guess you can use elastic and not sew on the velcro, but the keepers shift on the belt to accommodate different sizes. CD |

Ended up putting it on my early two pin Gen 3 frme since it covers up the front magwell cut out ion this frame. Looks like it would work with a G19/23 frame with a little gap. Hope this helps.

That seems to limit you to the footprint of that particular optic. I've heard the Forward Control Designs plate made the standard Glock MOS a duty grade option. Any thoughts?

Given that SOCOM has a contract for RMR's, I doubt they care about being limited to one optic footprint. It's not like they're playing musical optics on issued guns. And direct mounts are mechanically superior to any plate system. Realistically, for duty use, a direct mount RMR footprint is king, and USASOC has some DPP's. If Glock covers those 2 footprints, nothing else matters. (Maybe ACRO one day, if the P-2 is as good as expected). |

The guys with deltapoints are the only ones with gen 5s and MOS3. Doesn't SOCOM/SOF have COTS? That's not really a meaningful question. To explain why I've got to talk about how the military buys things for a minute. Broadly speaking, the military buys stuff in one of three ways: as part of a program of record, to fulfill an operational needs statement, or with unit funds. The last one is pretty much what it sounds like: units are given money to buy stuff they think they need, especially before a deployment. Generally speaking, using unit funds to buy weapons isn't allowed. Operational needs statements (ONS) are things units use to force the procurement system to field something the unit believes it needs for a particular mission; something not provided by a program of record. SF initially got Glock 19s through an ONS stating that they needed smaller pistols than their Berettas. Programs of record are enduring procurement and maintenance programs that are typically based on doctrine. SF's use of G19s was eventually converted to a program of record, and expanded to cover most of SOCOM. Items purchased through a program of record or ONS might be COTS, or they might be developmental. Stuff bought through unit funds pretty much has to be COTS. To bring this back around to optics and MOS, SOCOM's G19s are currently bought through a program of record, and are gen 3 or 4 with regular MOS. SOCOM's program of record mini red dot sight is the RMR, although units might have other optics on hand that were acquired through unit funds or an ONS before the optic program of record existed. There are some very special guys who have their own weapons programs separate from big SOCOM; those are the guys with Deltapoints mounted on their MOS3 gen 5 17s or 34s. |

The beauty of SOCOM's program management is speed and size. We're not outfitting an entire service, per se -- the buy might be for the Rangers, SF Groups, SEALs, MARSOC, or AFSOC, and if a common requirement or significant joint mission enhancement it can be bought to fulfill an immediate operational need for a particular geography, area, or climate. Once the unit returns, that piece of gear might go into Joint Operational Stocks -- a common loan library for the next guys needing that gadget.
If it becomes a known mission requirement and mission essential (i.e., lack of this gadget threatens mission failure), SOCOM buys it for the force with its separate service-like buying powers and budget. The problem with buying a common SOCOM pistol (say a Gen5 19) is the fact it now becomes a SOCOM-only gadget. A common weapon (say M17/18) would be bought by the parent service using their money, and modified with SOCOM dollars -- i.e., Mother Service buys the SIG, SOCOM dollars pay for the bolt-on RMR, light, and suppressor. If SOCOM has to buy the base gun as well, that's fewer dollars for something else (quad-tube NVGs with clip-on thermals, different uniforms for alternate climates, emergency med gear, modifications to the ride in and out of the battle zone, etc.). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By joglee: Why the DPP. Pretty much everyone I've read about them says they have major issues with battery contacts. My understanding is the larger window of the DPP. Unlike the rest of SOCOM, "Those people" do some things which require use of a pistol as an offensive/ primary weapon. Re the DPP: The issues with battery contacts and other internals coming loose has been resolved on the newer DPPs as of 2 plus years ago. The older models have a green circuit board inside the battery compartment, the newer ruggedized models have a blue circuit board inside the battery compartment. Any of the "Night Vision" models should have the blue board. Another factor is that for all pistol optics, proper mounting is about 50% of the durability and reliability of pistol optics. As such, it's not a coincidence the people using DPPs are using them via the MOS 3 cut specifically for the DPP footprint rather than the generic MOS cut with adapter plates. |
