Why I Made the PWS MK111 Mod 2 My Night Vision AR Pistol | First Mag
About this video
Colion demonstrates and discusses his PWS MK111 Mod 2 pistol setup, which he reports using in a low-light carbine course in New Mexico. He breaks down the rifle’s features, including its long-stroke piston system and adjustable gas settings, and explains his personal shooting technique involving thumb placement for more precise trigger control. Colion describes how he configured this platform for night vision use, emphasizing balance and compactness.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches a thumb-over-bore shooting technique he says helps isolate trigger finger movement and reduce sympathetic grip squeeze for precision shots
- Colion explains that long-stroke piston systems like the PWS reduce gas blowback to the shooter’s face compared to direct impingement systems, especially when suppressed
- Colion describes adjusting gas settings based on suppressor back-pressure, noting he prefers slightly more recoil over the feel of minimal bolt cycling
