Just received my Holosun 508T and my slide back from Battlewerx. This is my first pistol red dot. One thing I didn’t think of is when I reload, I don’t use the slide release. I grip the slide over the top and rack it. I will basically be grabbing the slide and optic. Seems like the sight is solid enough that this wouldn’t hurt it or throw off the zero. Am I correct in this assumption?

I'm now up to 4 pistols with dots. My 226 and 229 Legion SAOs are two of the latest. My p365 is headed to Jagerwerks for milling and nitride as soon as I get around to taking the slide, new sights, and 507k to the post office. I've now sold the Romeo 1 Pro that came on the 229 after picking it up a couple of weeks ago with my prize money from winning one of my office's Fantasy Football league again this year, and I am having it drilled with RMR pattern holes by C&H. I'll run a filler plate and a 507c or 508t on it also. The 226 is my pride and joy. The thing is just stupid accurate at 25 yards. The ArmoryCraft upgrades have made the trigger otherworldly. It's such a super smooth shooter and fits my hands so well that it's become my daily carry, even given its size and weight and the fact that it has an X300u attached. The p229 will get the trigger, hammer, super strut, and takedown lever treatment also, but need to spread the purchases out a bit so my wife doesn't get pissed

Just attended Riley Bowman's 2 Day Pistol Intelligence course.
Of the pistols on the line, the majority had dots. Of note, these are the pistols without dots: Glock 19 Gen 5 Sig Sauer Mk25 S&W M&P 2.0 5" Sig Sauer P365 Ruger SR9C Beretta 92 LTT Dot equipped guns were: Glock 19 Glock 17 Glock 34 Glock 48 M&P 5" Performance Center Sig Sauer P320 X5 Walther PDP After the class, both G19's are going to inevitably gain dots. The M&P 5" was a duty gun, but the shooter generally shoots with dots. The P365 was used on TD1, but swapped for a G48 & Holosun RDS on TD2. The Mk25 and SR9C are incapable of accepting a RDS, to my knowledge. |

As long as there aren't any holes inside the border of the O-ring, or thru features running under it that would compromise the seal, and your RMR doesn't overhang the slide you don't need one. I don't think you do with the Staccato plates, but I don't have one to be sure. I don't need one for my FNX mount plate. |

Trijicon RMRcc and RMRcc foward controls plate doesn't stick out past the side of the slide. It all stays nicely tucked out of the way.
No sharp edges to deal with like the regular RMR and RMR mounting plates.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bradd_D: It does, but not by much and it's definitely not sharp. The RMRcc on my 43X hangs over a bit, too, but it's not sharp either. Not sharp like a knife. but sharp like your hand slips while racking the slide and the edge of the plate rakes across your fingers sharp. That little bit of metal plate edge that hangs over is a real bitch to deal with if you practice with laser bullets and have to rack the slide every shot. Or if you shoot a lot of live fire. |

I have 3 Glocks milled for an RMR and have RM06s on each one, 19 a 19x and a 26.
MY question is for you NON-MOS guys, I see yall are using mounting plates. I am not, although I do use the sealing plate. Is there a reason for the plate? Mine are all just mounted to the slide with the sealing plate sandwiched between them. Am I missing something? |

Finally got of my butt and ordered and RMRcc and sent my G48 slide to battlewerks for an RMRcc cut.
Sort of got way from dots when I stopped carrying my RMR’d G19 and moved to slim line guns like my P365 and G48. Would like to also get my P365 milled down the road. Is Maple Leaf still the one of the only games in town that don’t delete the rear dovetail for the P365 RMRcc cut? |

It’s not Gucci but I’m loving it. Just put it together so haven’t been to the range yet. (Don’t be hatin’ on the makeshift pistol stand.)
It’s a range gun so sights will stay. I’m working up my nerve to do the undercut myself. Also, the rear plate message wasn’t something I intended just come across it while looking for a stainless/chrome plate.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |
