/10mm is dedicated to discussion of the 10×25mm Automatic handgun round and its platforms.
Hey, y'all!
A lot of stuff has been going on, lots of new products coming out, price structure changes with existing products among other things. I figure now is a good time to summarize everything in one spot.
HK For those that have been waiting, our
SP5 and $100 Webshop Gift Card bundles are back. Add to cart pricing is active and in play for these. This is easily the best price you'll get for a SP5 ;)
For the gamers, nerds and collectors, we're getting closer to our limited run OD green USPs shipping from Obendorf. Waitlists for three
full-size,
Tactical and
Expert models are active.
LWRC M6IC Enhanced ambi lowers are back!
Black,
FDE and
OD Green are on hand and
Patriot Brown is on the way. The catalog for LWRC may be getting larger in the near future as well.
LMT This is a mixed bag. We restocked nearly everything and have just about all of the uppers, lowers and barrels on hand, minus a handful of items like M203 receivers, Specwar barrels, etc. 12.5" Piston barrels and Enhanced trigger guards are on the way.
The big thing to note is that the LMT MAP policy is likely changing. This means that discount codes for LMT products are likely going away. I have been trying to delay this as much as I can. I'll know more specifics in the coming days. If you're on the fence about grabbing some LMT, now is a decent time to do it.
Agency Arms / Rooftop Glocks RMR models are on hand in
G19 and
G45. ACRO models are still out at coating and should come back relatively soon.
Radian Gen5 Afterburner and Ramjet combos and
Compressor spring kits for Glock 19 are on hand and shipping. We just restocked on ADAC lowers and builder kits as well.
Reptilia We just restocked on their new
30mm 1.70" AUS mounts. They've been a really solid hit and a good performer. New accessories for the AUS family of mounts are incoming soon!
Badger Ordnance We have a decent selection of Condition 1 mounts on hand. Just about everything that's out of stock is also backordered in fairly heavy quantities. We don't have an ETA for arrival.
Aimpoint With some of the recent price increases and policy structure changes at Aimpoint, we're turning away from steep discounts on optics and moving to bundles. We currently have an
ACRO P2 and Glock MOS plate bundle with a T2 bundle being made in the near future.
KAC A lot of small parts and accessories like
anti-cant devices,
QDC flash hiders,
end plates,
sights and other items are available, but absolutely no ETA for lowers, uppers or anything KS related. We still have some
full-auto two-stage triggers left.
Atlas-R If you're wanting to swap out the mount on your suppressor for an Atlas, the
Atlas R is new and improved. It allows for the use of a castle nut wrench.
Geissele Triggers are now something we stock.
Black Hills Ammunition We restocked on most
ammunition, still out of TMKs.
Armorer Tools We just restocked on 5.56 and 7.62 alignment rods and added new Wheeler punches to our tool section,
here.
Microbest BCGs are on hand in both
phosphate and
chrome variety.
BCM Lowers are backordered without ETA. Nearly everything else has just been restocked.
Miscellaneous Items I'll have some random used items hitting the site here soon :)

As always, if you see something here that wasn't answered, ask away!
Hello all,
I have been working on this tracker for some time. My goal was to cover most things the Army has to offer in terms of help for Soldiers whether it is a benefit from service, a program, or discount from something such as a group or company. I’m sure there are some things I missed when making this. If anyone has any input or things that should be added please let me know. This is meant for all Soldiers, I’m sure there are a lot of things on here that someone who has been in for a few years is aware of. Some things on this tracker are non government sources and are listed as such. If any information I have posted is wrong please let me know and I will update.
