MPS insert style 12

The itty-bitty screws were tough for my clumsy fingers. I ended putting it together twice because the d-ring doesn't fit through the opening in the pommel. Working down inside the pommel was even more fiddly, but I'm stubborn and it really wasn't that hard, just frustrating when you're clumsy. Once it's together and installed, I love it! It being able to spin under the snap-ring is an excellent feature.

Out of the box I noticed this was brighter and shinier than the pictures make it seem. Assembly was a snap - two screws into bolts. Then I dropped it in to Pommel 5. I chose to secure it with the MPS Clip, I don't know if glue or an O-ring would hold securely enough. The click that it makes when using the saber isn't what I would consider loud, not even moderate. If the slight amount of clicking is an issue I think plastic dip such as used on tool handles would look nice and silence it. When I hung it from my belt it was vertical, I did not see an issue with it protruding at an angle. This made an otherwise flat, boring (and useless) pommel into something interesting with a function.

i really dont like it. it does make noise, your hilt sticks out at an odd angle away from you body at the blade holder due to it being centered on the pommel....which looks rather tacky, its difficult to attach to your belt hook with the ring being as small as it is and how much it flops around, its difficult to remove since you have to swing the hilt out and up before you have enough clearance to slip it off the hook, it was difficult to install with the 1/4 inch nuts, and it causes you hilt to swivel around....mostly because of loose machining tolerances. honestly, i should have purchased the kobold d ring now that ive owned this insert for a while. mostly because the kobold ring lays flat against the rear grip which allows your saber to lay flat against your leg, your hilt dont rotate and to remove the hilt, its only a matter of lifting it straight up. i would not recommend this product.
