I must admit that when these “modular” pistols came out, I didn’t think much of the concept. The hype, at the time, was that your buddy could shoot your gun and fit him perfectly, by simply swapping the grip module. Or, you can have a long slide and large grip or shrink it down by […]
This is an exciting time! I finally got the ROMEO Zero optic to go on my SIG Sauer P365 XL. It had been ordered from Optics Planet in August of last year. I must say, it looks spanky! The texture on the sides of the optic match perfectly with the texture on the grip module. […]
