👇 **ABOUT THIS VIDEO:**
In this kinematic and engineering analysis, we put the first 250 rounds through the new Gen 6 platform to test the revised optics architecture, internal micro-tolerances, and trigger geometry. We also run a massive cross-compatibility matrix on the workbench to see exactly which Gen 5 components actually fit the new Gen 6 frame.
From mitigating shear stress using the Calculated Kinetics DOGTAG plate and Gideon Optic, to a full polymer-striker competitor analysis against the M&P 2.0, Springfield Echelon, and Walther PDP—this is the objective data you need before upgrading.
