I installed a Vortex Venom on my XDM Elite OSP 3.8" 10mm to develop some woods carry loads. Achieved an amazing 3/4" group and multiple 1" 5-shot groups at 25 yards.

I went to remove the sight for carry and install the top plate. When tightening the top plate screws, one snapped with very little force.

Decided I would just replace all three and went to my local Ace hardware where they have a great selection of firearms application screws. None would work.

Tried looking for them online and nothing. Looks like they are a 5-44 of unknown length. Anyone know the exact size? Came to the SA page to see if they sold them and found this forum.

Welcome to the forum from Kentucky.
I put the Holosun on the same gun with the intention of keeping it on the gun.
I use a polymer Blackhawk Serpa when I carry that gun which gives great clearance for the optic and also offers a level of retention.

If you used the screws that originally held on the slide cover plate call Springfield on Monday, they should be able to help you out.

If you used the screws supplied by the optics manufacturer then you will need to contact them.
