Not sure. I have the factory ones on mine. My G20 is a 2nd generation, and they are still bright as heck.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Not sure if addressed somewhere on this thread.
Can someone compile a list of quality lower manufacturers so I can hopefully eventually get one when prices and if prices get back to some level of normalcy?

Is there a consolidated list on there? I was thinking of sitting on PSA and catch one of theirs. I am not as lucky as Francis to be able to nail down one of those Umbrella Industries one. That is sweet!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Never heard the term, sorry.
But as far as lowers go, you really can't go wrong with any of the major manufactures now, just remember all of the big boys can put out a bad lower here and there. Just my opinion, get the lower with the logo you like best, before all the craziness that's just what I did. |

I don't think under $100 days will be back any time soon so have set my max at $150 and see if I can nail one or two for future builds.

accessories price really isn’t much of a concern because I always look at as would I trust my life to on in a SHTF scenario, also when you build a pieces and parts rifle the value is in the sum of the parts, so buy good stuff haha (under normal times) Noveske-LMT-Spikes-Bravo-Colt to name a few would be my 1st choices (once again leaving quite a few out)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
The hardest part to tell is whether or not the lower is in spec until you build it and test the function out, or take measurements. I bought a local company's lower and it was just a tad out of spec in the mag well creating a tight fit for mags.
