I think you are spot on with this. The shield mags for the 43x and 48 make a huge difference. I dont know why they couldnt do this with the fullsize pistols...
I shoot the 165gr ftx suppressed for deer. It's not subsonic, but quiet enough. I'd want the velocity for expansion personally. IS there a reason you want something subsonic? If that's the route you're going, I'd make sure whatever bullet your using expands at subsonic velocities.
I have buddies that have got the same. I can't understand how I've had two form 1s in for 3 months, while people are getting form 4s approved in a couple weeks. Usually it's the other way around. Now with efiles closed, I'm sure it'll be a big mess.
Received the RH25, unit is incredible. I'm really hoping to do a review with this and the mh25 side by side soon. Resolution in person is probably 1.5-2x as crisp as videos online. I was able to spot deer at about 5-600yds tonight no problem in a field by my house.
I found a website that had them for almost $1k under MAP. I emailed custom night vision, and he price matched and then some. I've done business with him in the past with Night Vision related stuff and was very happy with their customer service.
With the additional adm qd mount and iray usa...
It honestly depends on what you're doing.
If you plan on doing anything dynamic or navigating id say analog night vision.
If you want to primarily do stationary hunting, OR focus on detection I'd say thermal.
I would probably recommend a dedicated thermal optic before a clip on if you don't...
