I bought the Holosun HS407K X2 for my XDS mod 2 in 45acp. It came with 2 sets of screws. on set fits perfectly but are too long. There other set is too skinny and won't fit. Does anyone know the thread size for the slide?
That could be an option to bring the level of it up.Are there adapter plates for the pistol?
not by much. The screws are about half an inch long so maybe 2/16 need to come off. I took the screws to lowes just to mount it but they don't have any that are shorter then 1/2. I bought longer ones to cut and nuts the fix the threads but they would screw into the slide.I don't have this gun, so unfamiliar with it? If it mounts directly and gives you use of both sights that would be the best option. in case of optic failure. Do you have an idea of how much longer the screw is?
There is a place called Screwkey that has a large variety of sizes and lengths. Check on specialty places for odd and small items. I've used washers for shims also, but that might require 2 at least? The screws are soft enough too file or saw off. Before doing I put a nut all the way on the screw before cutting. Then back off the nut too clean up the threads. Last resort type use.not by much.

Good job!!I got it mounted. The Thread size I found out was M4.70 The crews that cam with the sight were .13 in too long. I bought some nuts sawed some off the backed the screws out of the nuts, applied some blue locktite and it looks awesome!!!View attachment 23570
