Brother, you know your tact, and you're keeping up with the classes. Time to address the main rig. Physical therapy for any injuries and/or personal trainer are just components of becoming a dangerous and honorable man.
Specprecision now have the clone Unity AXON SYNC NGAL switch and it is great, I've had the Somoboat also and its a fkn boat! it won't run my higher power LEP torch and the bracket broke after a few tightening's. The clone AXON switch runs my power hungry LEP torch, has vis override and was cheap enough that i trimmed my cables to their final length so is super tidy.
I've used the L3 in battalion and I own a somo Ngal, I won't say they both are on equal playing fields but I've broken many peq15s down range and I've yet to break the somo, obviously I'm not in the same environments but I've beat it up, thrown it on concrete, hit it with a hammer etc and it's held up. What y'all have to remember is L3s are 5k because of the strict restrictions they have to follow plus it's on the army's budget.
Nice to see a higher round count review. I have a higher round count on the somo peq, the somo NGAL I have the lasers are definetly not as powerful as the somo peq, like NGAL full power laser isn't as powerful as the peq on low power setting which I've been told is not normal? Guess most people's somo NGAL is up there with the peqs
Aight ive got a question. Bear with me... My biggest issue with the somo is the ir laser being too bright and blooming. In you opinion the L3 cap (wich on the laser side it actually a nuetral density filter) makes the ir laser much more usable? Bummer that it covers the vis laser, i may try the L3 cover and drill out or remove the vis laser cover... would love to hear your thoughts befor hacking up the factory L3 cover. Thanks man glad i found this review!
@@colmike460I have debated either drilling the vis cap or trying to take my own neutral density filter material and glueing it to the ir laser. That said I do think for safety you need a visible laser cap.
Loved the review and the detail you went into. Question for you, if you modified the defuser cap, could you regain the green laser with vis-override? I.E. drill out the green laser blocking portion of the cap.
Fantastic review. Quick question. I am looking into the axon sync you spoke about. I have the SOMO ngal and the Surefire M600v. What exactly does the override switch do? Does it activate the laser and light simultaneously? Thanks! 100% subscribing
The angled switch up front activates the torch and visual laser at full power, the flat switch activates whatever mode is selected on the NGAL at the time, so if in vis-low it will activate visual laser on low, or vis-high will activate visual at high, if it's on any of the IR settings then that is what will be activated... Visoverride is great for the bump in the night get outa bed in your PJ's situations, if you happen to be sleeping with your Nod's on then avoid the Visoverride button and have your mode select on IR and activate it with the flat button!
sorry, there was a lot in this video, is it the metal model? Also, i take it you haven't had any problems with it's performance up to 3000 rounds? I have the peq15 model of theirs and it's been working well.
Can I please get an update on whether or not the smaller flashlight worked out just fine whenever you go with your friends .(Thanks) I also wanted to ask you in your opinion which place is the best bang for your buck night vision training, i just bought a MAWL as well and my pockets are hurting lol. Thanks for the info as well i learned a lot from it.

I have the Ngal somogear and a unity axon (surefire-ngal plug) and the momentary-on flat button seems to activate the vis- laser no matter the setting it’s on. Anyone have similar issues?
@@jose-xr1xv I have not had that issue with either of my somogear units. Does the angled button also activate the via laser no matter the device setting?
@@TheReidbaker the angled one activates white light and vis laser. The flat one also activates the vis laser even when in ir mode. I was checking the unity website and there seems to be a two models for the surefire/Ngal the “mode select” and “vis-override”. I have a sus feeling the vis override model is shoots all vis no matter the setting while the “mode select’ shoots whatever your laser setting is on.
@@jose-xr1xv not in my experience. I have the vis override and the angled button activated white light and vis laser in every mode but off. The flat button activated the mode the laser is on only. I would confirm the button on the unit uses ir when in an ir mode and if it does reach out to unity for a replacement
Nice to see a long term review of the somogear. Appreciate it!
Damn your vocab gives brass facts a run for his money. Subbed
Also, I’ve always wanted a laser, but a lot of people say why buy a laser if you don’t have nods. You gave a different point of view. Thanks
First time here
You're very well spoken, my dude. I appreciate your shared experience with the NGAL
Hey brother, I really appreciated your review and the in depth exploration of all the options and accessories. Thank you!
Good to see another sphur 225 user
Solid review! Lots of stuff not covered in some of the other videos out there.
i see ya been in Duffy's nvg class..... im doing one with him in november myself. CANT WAIT!
@@0n3racing67 which class I might be there with you?

@@michaelj3725 It's titled "2024 New SPECPRECISION SOMOGEAR AXON SYNC NGAL LA23 & Surefire Plug Dual remote switch" Under category HOME> WEAPON LIGHTS > SWITCH and is currently $58.

You’re a tactical husky Tucker Carlson, this is a compliment
I stand with @explorinInTheWoods
Take that defuser and drill out the vis laser part fixes that issue. lol

did you buy the civilian MAWL or did you get a FP one? And what was the cost there?
@@ForgottenRebel77 I got a c1+ which is the civilian model

Personally I would have gone with the Wilcox RAID Xe over the MAWL. Weighs less and has more functions!
15:11 on the 22 what foregrip is that/ handstop ??
Viridian HS1 Infrared, I believe
Can you do a vid on the mawl please
@@Candyvyorn_ lots of good mawl reviews already exist.
What is the designation for the Unity Tactical Vis Override switch? Which version did you order?
@@yaobear17 unity axon sync surefire/ngal | vis override.
I know... it is a mouthful.
I also bought a NGAL from Paragon, I've seen some SG NGALs with visible beams, I can barely see my beam in the dark. On full power too. Bad unit?
Waiting on my somogear for a 556 but how is the surefire vamp think it will for a 9mm pcc?

Visoverride is/should only be applied to the angled button, the next button is mode select
Won’t you damage the structural integrity of your suppressor by dumping water on it when it’s hot?
Damn another somogear video lmao
