Flux mp17 holster7/22/2023 ![]() We fully admit that how much fun the Flux Defense MP17 Raider is makes up for the ergonomic issues of shoving a pistol into a carbine. Those will be in our shopping cart soon enough. The utility of a light meant compromising our support a touch, but there are slots up front that a third-party is already making Picatinny adapters for. The Raider is arguably more fun to shoot without a weapon light mounted. ![]() The folks at Flux told us we wouldn’t like it very much. It’s nearly impossible to disengage with the firing hand. Our decision to retain the manual safety was the wrong one. The first Flux Defense MP17 model shipped with a holster, with Flux Defense eyeing law enforcement and military units as potential customers Flux has yet to finish something similar for the Raider, but it’s an ongoing effort and may well be available by the time you read these words. We’re hoping to see a left or ambidextrous design with the next generation. Some actions can be clumsily performed by a lefty, but it’s not an experience you’ll enjoy very much. All controls and manipulations of the Raider are designed and intended to be used by right-handers. If you’re a lefty, take a pass on this one - at least for now. See the sidebar for more information on this suppressor.Īnd spray paint. While you can play around with configuration, we kept this one short for transport. Until that time, we’re just grabbing the front of the serrated Grey Ghost Precision slide for nearly all of our manipulations.įor a silencer (because of course we have a silencer), we rolled with the modular, user serviceable Banish 45 from Silencer Central. However, by the time of publishing, there may be more than one viable charging handle available. We received a preproduction charging handle from another company that fits into the front sight dovetail - but broke it almost immediately (thus the nature of preproduction parts). Without an extended slide stop lever or a forward charging handle, it can be kind of a pain to lock the slide back on the Raider. Allow the primary magazine to drop while you swap in the secondary. Using the thumb of your support hand, press the button in far enough to remove both magazines. No one will be hurting for a lack of options, but we suggest you find the one you like and just stick to it.įor changing magazines in a flash, this was our preferred method: wrap the fingers of your support hand around the spare mag holder. A push-button on the right, a thumb release along the bottom, and a sliding mechanism on the left. This means that Ulticlip has an unprecedented level of retention making your holster more versatile.There are three ways to release magazines with the Raider. It has no need for a belt or any other secondary means of support to provide it’s retention. +UltiClip - Ulticlip is unlike any traditional holster clip on the market. (There is an $11 up charge for this option) This means that Ulticlip has an unprecedented level of retention making your holster more versatile. ![]() This clip distributes the weight of your firearm well while also providing an easy on/off option. +Wide Clip - Some concealed carry permit holders prefer a wider clip design. +Angled Clip - The angled clip is known for providing adequate holster retention while also providing a more comfortable carry method as the belt clip is "angled" towards your belt We offer several belt attachments, including the following: +52 Stacked - JOAGEAR'S proprietary holster pattern Paisley on Carbon Fiber Print with red hardware (eyelets/screws) More will come available soon including special edition colors. Currently, we have the following colors available.

Wubble bubble ball with helium7/22/2023 ![]() I think it probably would have stayed inflated a bit longer had we done that. Remember I suggested earlier that you should wipe off the area where the sticker was going to be placed? It’s an important tip, because we didn’t do it and it took a few seconds too long for us to get the sticker on which resulted in some helium loss. For us, the WubbleX remained helium inflated for about 4 hours. So, I bet you’re wondering how long it lasted. all. I had a strong suspicion that 8 year old Little Miss would love it, but the boys surprised me. They were absolutely enthralled with it and didn’t want to give it up at. One of things that surprised me the most was how much my 14 and 12 year old boys loved it. Which, as any parent knows, means that the toy is a huge hit.□ The kids took turns tossing it to one another (which is a lot of fun when it’s helium filled), practicing their “levitating” skills, and bargaining with each other over who was going to play with it next. Once the sticker is in place, it’s time to play! ![]() I’d suggest wiping the area around the hole off before removing the inflator stick, so that there’s not a lot of residual petroleum jelly on the ball’s surface where you have to put the sticker. This keeps the air in and your ball inflated. Don’t overfill!Īfter you fill it, quickly put the sticker that’s included over the hole. floating so high you can only gaze at it when it floats to the top of your ten foot ceilings. Tip: You want to make sure that the ball can actually be played with vs. Let’s just say that ours had some serious floating abilities at that point. I accidentally filled it up a bit too much which left us with no helium in our tank to refill the ball. Then, you connect the helium canister to the straw and fill it up slowly just to the point where it floats. It’s a slightly messy process, so keep a paper towel handy. So, to fill it up, you put petroleum jelly on the end of the inflator straw before sticking it into the hole on the WubbleX ball. I would recommend, however, that you not fill it or play with it in a room with high ceilings…unless you have magic stretchy arms or a tall ladder. There’s nothing more upsetting than getting a package home only to discover you don’t have the helium canister! Since it was a rainy day, there was no temptation to take it outside – which, since it was helium filled, was advantageous. Ours came with one, but be sure to check the package contents. Now, the WubbleX is unlike the traditional Wubble Ball, because it’s filled with a helium canister that’s included in some of the kits. Thankfully, the directions were very simple and even in my coffee-deprived state, I was able to quickly and easily inflate the WubbleX. ![]() While the kids had watched numerous YouTube videos and commercials about the WubbleX, I was a Wubble Bubble ball newbie. It was a beacon of fun in our Thursday slump and so began our WubbleX review. ![]() The best part is that the Wubble is fun to play with indoors or outdoors, all year round.The WubbleX ball that I had been given to review arrived midway through the day when all hope for the day’s redemption had been lost. Use the battery-operated air pump (included) to inflate your Wubble bubble ball in just two minutes and when you’re finished playing, just deflate the Wubble with the deflation tool (included) and stick it in a drawer for next time. So what makes the Wubble bubble ball so special? It’s made from top-secret super-thermo-stretch-tacular stuff that makes it squishy, squashy, super soft and lightweight and allows it to be inflated to a gigantic THREE FEET TALL. The Wubble is like no other ball or toy you’ve ever played with before! You see, it looks like a bubble…and moves like a bubble-but won’t pop like a bubble! You can kick it, whack it, throw it, bounce it-and even sit on it! The Wubble floats, wobbles, dribbles, spins, smashes-and makes really WACKY SOUNDS!!! And so began the quest to make this wish come true.Īfter three years and thousands of man hours of research & development, we’re excited to bring you the amazing Wubble bubble ball. But this time, I really took it to heart because my two little ones truly looked disappointed that they couldn’t actually play with their bubbles. So one day, while blowing giant bubbles in front of our house, one of my kids said “I hate when my bubbles pop! I wish I could play with them!” I had heard this from all my kids over the years, time and time again. And we know that great ideas can come from anyone. I t’s the type of product you get when you’re the father of four creative children, you’re in the toy business, and your kids make the right wish at the right moment! You see, at NSI we’ve been creating some of the most popular and innovative toys for more than 60 years-under such established brands as Nickelodeon™, Smithsonian® and Oglo™ Sports.
