![]() It is designed for a gen 3 Glock, not a gen 4 like the real Flux. Regarding this clone, I would like to point out two things. It follows the legacy of the Hi-Power and C96 stocked pistols from a century ago, with the convenience of always being available on the gun. The Flux is, IMO, exactly what a pistol carbine should be- it's just a stock extension for a pistol, not a compact rifle frame swallowing up a pistol. It also barely changes the overall profile of the gun, so it still fits fine in soft holsters (although obviously not Serpas or molded holsters). With the Flux brace, you can manipulate the pistol just fine with the brace collapsed, allowing you to use the pistol as a pistol (one handed, in close quarters, etc). They become a primary, which obviously is the point, but somewhat limits flexibility. They become a lot harder to holster, and basically impossible to use as a pistol. My main issue with carbine kits has that they turn your pistol into, well, a carbine. Having converted a Flux to airsoft use, and having used various carbine kits over the years, I really gotta disagree. Ran my TM based 17 in the armourer works kit, bar issues with temperature it was an awesome little toy. ![]() This is called "arbitrary unavailability". So while I can figuratively scream at Flux "HERE'S MY THREE HUNDRED BUCKS, TAKE IT, PLEASE!", neither of us is in position to do anything about it. A scope that would probably fail the first, best case maybe second test for military specifications and the only difference between it and dime-a-dozen Chinese you can order from Hong Kong or even AliExpress (so, China directly) is that it was designed and manufactured in the US. You can get a genuine milspec holographic sight without problems in this anus mundi, provided you have 'bout 600 quid to spend on it, and from a local store no less, but somehow, you cannot buy a $60 airsoft scope from an airsoft store in the US. What we're seeing here is the Chinese gleefully undercutting the profits of small American companies with the tacit approval of the military-industrial complex American government. If even Brownell's can't, much less Evike, do you really think that the bureaucratic machine will yield to an even smaller company? Maybe that is what they are in the process is doing. They could sell internationally if they put in the effort and money to get an iTAR export license from the DDTC or partnered up with international distributors that have export licenses for their products.
