I will let you all know after I get it. It may take a while as no one has them in stock.

I ordered it for my Glock 42. It looks like a great idea to me and the few reviewers that have received them rave about how easy they are to use. As I see it, having to remove it to work on or clean the firing pin is no worse than an RMR requiring removal to change the battery. In fact it is...

It depends on screw size. I would go with the optics recommendation as they know the screw diameter that will fit their optic. I'm not sure why you need an optics plate but almost everyone with more expertise than me recommends against them as they make the optic sit much higher.

I don't know the correct answer but I would think that unless the manufacturer could show how that would effect the gun such that it would not properly function the answer would be no that it wouldn't.

Yes, I used low speed and took it slow as it will sand off pretty quick. I don't recall exactly which attachment I used but it was a fine grain. May have been a small grinding wheel.

Because I am not a machinist I was worried I would screw up the job but I took my time and I was careful and I measured after each slight removal on the front posts. For an amateur I thought I did a decent job. I did think about taking it to a local machine shop as it wouldn't have been very...

I am not an expert on self defense and I am not Guy but there are numerous experts on YouTube that are and the majority of them recommend a red dot. See videos by Sage Dynamics and Aaron Cowan as a good place to start.

This is pure speculation on my part, but some of the red dot optics are polymer with thin screws (going from memory some RMRs came with thinner screws than others). They would inherently have more flex and put more force on the screws during slide recoil so the posts would act to add extra...

Having personally modified my Hellcat for the 507K, I can tell you it was not difficult and it is the RMR to beat for the Hellcat or the Sig P365XL. It is a fantastic and rugged sight. You can co-witness the front sight as it has the notch. A decent machines can do it in 5 minutes, it...

If you've ever worn glasses you know that polymer lenses mar and lose their clear view over time. It keeps you buying replacements. :). It seems very difficult to obtain real glass eyewear that would last much longer and be more scratch resistant. I am surprised given the newer glass made by...

The quality of the Holosun sights is obvious as soon as you pick it up. Watching Sage Dynamics torture test should convince anyone in doubt. I have it mounted on my Hellcat and one on my Sig P365-XL. Currently it is on consignment with a local gun dealer for $950 which is less than I paid for...

I usually select 5 yds to 15 yds, it depends on the longest straight line distance in your home. It also depends on the laws in your state. You might need a longer distance if you were acting in defense of another but some states don't allow that as a valid use of self defense. It's pretty...

With a Holosun 507K red dot, Apex trigger, JM4 Tactical Holster and extra magazine, I have over $1,132 at my cost and I bought before things went crazy. All of these items are hard to find but I want to sell it as a package. I am not looking to gouge anyone so I think I should be able to find...

My dilemma is that I own a Hellcat, a Sig P365-XL (both with Holosun 507K red dot sights) and and LCP 2 22LR. My better half wants me to get rid of one. For a 9mm, I like the size of the Hellcat as it is more easily concealed Than the Sig but I dislike its snappy recoil compared to the Sig...

I'm not a competitive shooter but with the iron sights I had no difficulty staying in a 4" group at 7 & 10 yds and 3" group at 5 yds. When I add a laser green dot the groups are tighter. My LCP 2 is 22LR. Virtually no recoil and easy to keep on target. With more practice, I would expect to...
