Sort of Tactical

Welcome to Sort of Tactical.

Yes, I really mean sort of, as in: to some extent; in some way or other (used to convey inexactness or vagueness).

    I ordered the Vertx. But it was the everyday carry one. Blends in more. Looks like the LuLu Lemon one. Very flimsy, the clip was horrible. Could EASILY come undone accidentally. And as a CCW. You are responsible for that. Too many “what ifs” I ordered the 945 Industries. It is a good bit more expensive. But does come with a custom kydex holster. Which is actually one of my favorite parts. Most “Velcro holsters” are very basic. Seems they just manufacture a flat back holster and glue Velcro to it. It works. But can be finicky to draw. The 945 holster is a full kydex holster with a flap of Velcro bolted to the holster (doesn’t interfere with the firearm) but allows a slight lift up on the holster to allow a MUCH more secure purchase on the firearm. Again, it isn’t cheap. But it’s definitely not made as cheaply as the Vertx. Plus nearly every gun reviewer on YT has a 10% off code. As well as a generous Military Discount.

    Love the rifle, but a terrible trigger. Way to much over-travel, very little take-up in the first stage, a bit of creep. Not a good trigger at all and compared to the older SSG 3000 a poor trigger. I sent the rifle back to SIG and the trigger is now worse. If I compare this rifle to the 2 custom rifles I have it shows little merit.

    Velcro is a brand name for the system of "hook and loop" attachment. So just call it hook and loop if you don't want to say Velcro as it is a copyrighted name, like Kleenex, Q-Tip, or Xerox.
