I bought a SIG MPX

[JollyMon]

Actually it seems long to me (as weird as it sounds). I have both the collapsible and this one (kate moss stock).... I don't usually have the collapsible at its max length, so this one feels longer to me as there is no adjustment.... but I like it because it shortens the OAL when folded (or when the collapsible is all the way in) by about 3-4 inches, which makes it short enough to fit in my backpack.

I don't hate KJQ anymore!

Looks outstanding Rookie.

At this juncture, the opportunity cost of purchasing knives is apparent to me!

I still hate him.

Now you have made the list as well. Congratulations.

Have you considered moving the front sight rearward and putting the light on top at the front? That's what I'm going to do with my next rifle.

If I had an MPX, that's what I'd do, but I also have my primary rifle setup that way too.

Having the light aligned with the bore is an advantage, especially when shooting around cover. On top keeps it out of the way and it's in a handy spot for the way a lot of us grip the fore end.

Exactly, and also add in that it makes it much easier to get to the light when you transition to weak side.

Agreed!

My rifles now how the light in a VTAC mount on the top rails. It's on the left side, but I can still reach when I shoot lefty. It would be better to have it inline on top, though.

Sorry for the threadjack! (for once)

Looks good rookie! I like the k's with the short cans! I can also appreciate this because it appears you are a lefty.

Like this?

My fat thumb gets in the way of my rmr and I have to completely adjust my grip on the vertical grip to activate the light. I do agree that it works better for either hand, but I think I'd have to lose the vertical grip.

Very nice Rookie!

Yep! That's exactly what I meant. It was worth a try, but sounds like your configuration will suit your needs better. Carry on and NICE GUN!

Rookie, are you having any issues with particulate blow-back from the charging handle orifice? I had heard that might be an issue from someone who has both the MPX and the EVO. He said that he doesn't care to run his MPX suppressed due to the gas and particulate blow-back.

 

[Rookie]

I haven't shot it suppressed yet. I just picked up my suppressor yesterday and realized I need a fixed barrel adapter. KJQ would be able to answer your question.

Thanks!

Having shot KJQ6945's suppressed, the only thing I noticed that was kind of weird is that there was blowback from the gases, but it was coming out the bottom of the mag.

I would be surprised if there was significant blowback to the shooter. A suppressed, short-barrelled Sig 556 on the other hand can make you feel it in the eyeballs even with glasses.

 

[Rookie]

I wish i could tell you, but I can't shoot my suppressor yet.
