I have a Jericho II that I really like. It isn't my best pistol for accuracy, trigger pull, price, ergonomics, or finding accessories, but it is perfectly acceptable for all those points. It sits in the middle ground for what I want in a pistol. Finding a holster is a real pain since I have a modular Blackhawk setup that I can rotate my other pistols into based on my needs, but the available holsters are serviceable if you are willing to use a drill to make them work. My thumb seems just a bit too short to actuate the safety without breaking my grip, but so do most pistols with a safety lever. All in all, I like it. It's not my first choice if I wanted to go to war (I'm retired so not a concern), or defend my house (I have a lot of guns that I've been working with for years I can rely on for that), but if my life depended on it, I wouldn't be upset if that's all I could get. Quality engineering and lots of thought went into these weapons.

There is a niche purpose for an off gas regulator setting in the US. There are many states where it is illegal to hunt with a semi-auto. One could conceivably turn the gas regulator to off, and remove the op rod, turning the rifle into a straight-pull manual repeater. This is also an easy way to convert a rifle for use in ban states.

Really appreciate the story behind it. Very nicely done! Still can't get over the look and weight of this. I was really surprised this thing weighs more than an X95, being a conventional layout and newly designed, and how much polymer it has. Bren2 Carbine has a pretty heavy barrel and thick handguard but is 7.3lbs, and this is 8lb 2oz?? Same 16" barrel length, short stroke, adjustable gas, AR-180-ish. A SCAR16 is 7.25 lbs, but Carmel weighs more than a SCAR17. Sorry I just don't get it. For Galil ACE at least I can understand that is a fully modified, accuracy-improved milled receiver AK.

@@TheHouseAlwaysWins-xs8zd When I see the weight on official webpage. I usually believe the actual item is ≥ what they market it at. In this case 8lb 2oz w/o mag.

However...though I see some advantages of this over the SCAR, I don't see how it outperforms the Bren...except just so slightly on price. No, I disagree with you. $1600 is not "pricey" for a quality rifle recently developed. Manufacturers develop it, build it, then sell it to a distributor who then sells it to a retailer who then sells it to an end user...if that's done near $1500@, that's great. To all the budget AR and AK users out there feeling cheap and insulted, well, get over it.

The buttstock should fold the other way to completely mitigate any issues with the ejection port as well as making it easier to deploy for a right handed shooter. Also the buttstock is a loose fit which is noticeable when adjusting the length of pull.

When people pay a premium for something they expect perfection or near perfection. 😎🇦🇺

The other excuse is that everyone is using an 11" over his 14". Because we all know 3" of pencil barrel equals a pound extra in steel.
