Where are these manufactured?
Due to prior issues, we do not disclose any information about which shops we work with, even when it would be to our benefit to do so. We regularly work with several shops and use whichever one puts out the highest quality product, period. We realize that ambiguity may make someone opt not to do business with us; That is totally understandable and we completely respect your decision if that is you.
 
I received my jr. today and had an opportunity to play it with it this evening. The quality is superb. As in really couldn’t be any better — the materials, machining, fit, finish, instructions, included hardware — all leave nothing to be desired. I have the comparable Surefire unit and this one is easily as good perhaps better and assuredly a better value.

If I may make a suggestion for future iterations which could better bring the compact up to speed — and this has nothing to do with your faithful recreation but with the original design — but if the rail ended where the current slot is cut and instead the slot was cut closer to the trigger guard then the compact could utilize a smaller, dare I say more suitable light like the Surefire XSC and the unit would not overhang. Certainly the smaller lights were not available when Surefire made the originals and the slight overhang of the rail goes unnoticed when the intended light is hanging over by inches, but a smaller rail and light would be more easily accommodated.

For strength, the SN window would have to be eliminated but the beauty of HK (in this particular instance anyway) is that they serialize everything. In the rare instance that the frame SN was needed the unit could simply be removed.

Thank you!! That isn’t a bad idea - I’d have to play around with it. Have you seen a TLR-7 on one? That is what I run on my 45CT (well actually mine is a TLR-8 but same footprint) and it works on the MR08 design arguably better than an X300 and the button placement is perfect.

I will rephrase. In what country are they made?
 
finally got a chance to get my Jr’s insatlled.
Quality of manufacturing is far above the competition.
The JR was obviously designed for a 45 compact As you can see the overhang on a 9mm.
Using a TLR1 on it you can see the spacing between the trigger guard and the light is excessive so as mentioned before I suspect design intent was for a TLR7 and 45 Compact combination.

It was actually designed for the same pic slot placement as the MR08 to accommodate X300’s but just happened to be a perfect fit for the TLR-7’s, which I prefer on the Compacts personally.

The overall rail length is also taken from the MR08 and while it could be shortened a bit, its length I believe is really meant to have enough material in front of the pic slot to provide reinforcement. It certainly is a better look on the Compact 45’s because of that feature though, I have to agree.
 
Nothing much to add other than I have tested mine for the USP45 and couldn't be happier. This is superior to the GG&G adapter and is a definite improvement over the original Surefire design for the USP45, not to mention the obvious cost advantage. Pictured with the x300U-A but I plan on using it with the x300U-B.

EDIT: Forgot to add that, as a lifelong Star Wars fan, I really appreciated the Boba Fett sticker that came with it!

Really impressed with the fit and finish of the MR.NEIN 45! You can feel the quality difference between it and the GG&G immediately. This will certainly force my hand in finding a compatible holster. I have the new style battery door on my X300T and using the universal rail attachment it seemed to seat just fine with the JTB method. In fact, it appears not to actually interact with the trigger guard by at least the hair of a chihuahua.
Thanks for the quick shipping and good communication!

I can't believe I wasn't paying attention and missed this. Hopefully there are plans for a third run?

Knock out those stainless pins in the battery door with a punch and you can push the light back even further! Make sure you have the picatinny key installed as well. Should scoot it just a hair back but every little bit helps!
