FW3A optics issues Announcement Carclo optics Arrive

Thanks for the update and good job on handling the optics issue :+1:

Yes, for holding the light in a cigar grip. Makes it a bit more comfortable. I think they got the tactical name because they go well with a forward clicky switch and help with momentary pulses of bright light while holding a pistol. I think they just make a light more comfortable to hold in a cigar grip.

Waiting more patiently paid off. I received my shipping notification from Neal last night. Now I just have to wait some more for the old “slow boat” to get here.

Thank you Neal!

Honestly, people may say whatever they want about flaws and whatever on ordering/shipping/material changes…, but you Neal, are GREAT!!!

I’m not sure when I will get my 2nd FW3A, but it will surely come from your store! Again!! :+1:

Thanks for posting the video tatasal :+1:

I am curious to know as well.

Hey Neal,

Have tried to msg you about my order and still have not yet received any response or shipping info. Please if you could get back to me that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

And if you want better grip but not that aggressive a tactical one, a nice thick o-ring does the job well. At first I wasn’t sure if the one I installed on mine would make much of a difference since I already put on a segment of rubber inner tube. But I’m finding overall it has improved grip and I never worry about a slip. No pun intended. :wink:

wow, copper looks amazing.
also good to hear the lens situation is clear

I had a regular shipment go out on July 3. How long should I expect it to take to get to the USA? I imagine maybe 14 days?

I ALSO did not get a glass lens. Which makes me think Neal sent me one with the Carclo optics.

My experience has been more like three to four weeks.

Easy to check… just take the front bezel off carefully and see if it is two pieces or one.

Two! Glass, then the optic. :+1:

Nice! Maybe my incoming FW3C will also have the Carlco.

I should’ve said this earlier Neal, but thanks a lot for your honesty!

Thanks!

Looks like it made it to North Carolina on the 17th! Exciting!

Subscribing for future updates.
I’d apreciate if long quotes are reduced a bit.

Can anyone tell just by looking what optic I got? Also, why is my aluminum blue? Every photo I’ve seen of it shows it as gray. I ordered this thing June 13th. Finally got it today. Bit anticlimactic after all this time. Thanks.

Looks like the plastic all in one to me. Not the Carclo with the separate glass lens. As far as the color, my two are a blue/grey (similar to the S2+ grey). It just depends on the lighting on which color stands out more.
