That dot protection looks hideous.

Get a killflash please.

But it works and that is more important than looks.

get one of these too and you can lose the perspex window on your gun!

It completely raped the picture though.

And tbf I'm not a fan of those things, I'd rather have a small lexane/plastic lens than that sayan hud thingy ;P

His  picture got raped by him having a piece of clear plastic attached to his toy gun? Do I need to point out all the ways that statement is wrong?

Doesn't matter what your a fan of thats what he has got. To be honest I hear people chucking shade at those protectors all the time and its just another form of delusional snobbery. That protector is good bit of useful kit and while others might prefer other options thats their choice.

But it wouldn't stop a real bullet.

Having just had the lens shot out of my camera for the 2nd time in a row, I'm currently looking for protection solutions.  Of course, it won't look like a real Drift Stealth 2 then.

As a an of the T1 style optic I went for the Vortex Sparc AR, while not cheap by any means it does have a lifetime warranty with purchase so if the lenses get shot out they will replace it for you no questions asked (I've not had to yet but other team members that also have the same optic have)

Very good bits of kit for the price.

Does the fine print of that warranty specifically state that the company will cover damage in use (from an external source vs a failure in materials or workmanship)?  Because that would be a very rare thing it has to be said; generally warranties explicitly say they don't cover that kind of thing.

 

[Jayjay]

Well.. I missed a lot with 1 day away from the foruns.

I am looking for a different lens protector for the T1 and was looking down the killflash route. However, I needed a protector like this regardless for my Elcan LDS replica which really doesn't seem to have another solution and already has a tiny chip in it from where it was hit.

I will likely be purchasing a kill flash or what JCheeseright linked in the near future. 

Though I am also looking at getting a magnifier, which I'm stumped on how to protect when it's not sat behind the T1...

On another note. My 4 mags and bugger tube arrived today.

EPGC and Rail covers are on there way.

Just struggling to find a PTS MOE CTR stock in tan anywhere. That being said I haven't looked outside of my 4/5 usual retailers.

Generally they come with flip up covers which you can put down when you flip it to the side. Generally I've found them to be pretty useless. They aren't solid enough to be accurate and are too dark to see targets properly

Interestingly not the first person I've heard say that they're not the best. See where the wind takes me I guess.

 

[Hangtight]

Got myself organised!

No more take away containers for me! Oh no.... Little drawers are the future.

I'm not 100% but the optics we have had that have been shot out they have replaced with no bother at all.
