SMS Trinity thought, 6 months in.

Comparison to BE Meyers MAWL & 3EIR DIR-V

I’ve had 2 of the Trinity lasers from SMS for about 6 months now. They have been on my wife’s 11.5, and my 12.5, both of which are our main training rifles.

Durability:

They’ve been to the range countless times, more than a few thousand rounds with them mounted. They’ve been taken to DARC for force on force training, taken direct hits from sims, been thrown in and out of trucks, dropped, rained on, and left in the sweltering heat.

So far I have had no issues, only a sample of two, but still.

Mine have held zero just fine. I have heard of others having issues with it. Unless it’s a major shift and happening often, I’m not worried. You should be checking and adjusting zeros often on all your optics.

Power:
Very powerful lasers and illuminators, but thankfully very adjustable. Many Chinese lasers suffer from overpowered lasers. These can be that bright, but can easily be toned down.

Usability and switches:

The Trinity does a good job here. The rotary dial has positions for vis, off, laser only etc, but also has two programmable laser/illuminator positions. This allows you to program a high and medium setting for both laser and illuminator independently. I don’t know of many lasers that offer that level of programmability.

The divergence slider is ok, I wish it went out wider and didn’t go as narrow on the other end. Just kinda wasted potential there if that divergence was tuned a little better.

The diffuser is well designed, robust, and won’t snap off like a peq/ngal. But it’s still a manual diffuser, which sucks to use rapidly.

Overall:
The trinity is batting so far out of its price bracket it’s insane. For $350 you can buy multiples of them for the price of 1 other laser on the market.

Comparison:

DIR-V: this used to be the best “affordable” Civ laser. It lacks almost any adjustment, and has a manual diffuser. It has the best form factor of almost any laser, and the lack of adjustment is ok since it’s tuned pretty well as far as power and divergence goes. Hard to recommend it over the Trinity unless the form factor is a big factor for your build.

MAWL: the MAWL is better. But it’s 10x the price. You can see in the video the MAWLs Switchology is unmatched, and it simply leads to better, faster results. The Trinity beats it in programmability, but the MAWL is very much tuned to perfection between its modes, and I have never wished for a different option than what’s available. If you have the money, get a MAWL. But you could also just get 10 Trinity’s..

Full power PEQ15/NGAL/full power DBAL/somogear/ etc: in my opinion, ALL of these are outdated and outclassed. Terrible divergence control. Over or under powered. Horrid diffuser designs. No warranties. Expensive. Petri dish illuminators. Just get a Trinity.

Check this out.

Gavin Newsom has a winery that was involved in the California wildfires.

He was the ONLY one to receive a state payout to rebuild.

He is as GREASY as they come.

He can never be President.

Does she make a valid point?

My favorite Hillary Clinton story is the one from election night 2016 when she got so drunk after losing to President Trump in a landslide that she had to be physically restrained from attacking her own staff in a hotel room.

That was hilarious.

Ilhan Omar’s kids are exactly how you would expect.

Her daughter just visited Communist Cuba on a CodePink trip and her son just had his apartment raided for weapons.

UPDATE: Gavin Newsom now claims he “didn’t even know” his mansion had a 5,000-bottle wine cellar when he bought it. 😂

Totally understandable. I’m always accidentally buying $3.7 million mansions and discovering massive wine cellars later. Just normal working-class California stuff. 🤡🌎

Regardless of what you think of operation Red Wings and the story that was told, this video from the Taliban perspective shows how bad the terrain was and you can hear the deep thump of the AKs and the high pitched crack of the SEALs M4s, and in the video when the Taliban tells them to surrender you can hear the Americans screaming to each other and laying down massive amounts of fire. No matter what lies were told about the operation the truth is they fought like champs, but god tends to favor the bigger units in a firefight.

This is exactly how it works in Canada. Regular Joe, unauthorized possession of a .22 on a farm; hard time. Foreign criminal attempting murder, unlicensed, prohibited firearms; probation & protection from being deported. Don't ever tell me that all this stuff isn't intentional.

Did you know it costs home builders an average of $126k in state permitting and fees before they even start building in Washington State?

WOW. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a public broadcaster, reportedly sent an internal memo to staff that read:

"Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks."

Instead, they are to refer to 9/11 as just "hijackings" that caused "jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan."
