New Trijicon Pistol Mounted RDS???

[GJM]

The SRO that I expected to arrive today, is still on the way. However, my friend received a 2.5 today, mounted it on a 320 X5, and shot 600 rounds through it.

First, the good. He loved the size of the display and intensity of the dot. Said he had to turn it down three clicks from max bright, on an outside, sunny Montana range. Was originally waiting for a 5 moa, but said the 2.5 is so bright, he now is undecided whether he wants the 5 moa. The dot held zero and was a delight to shoot.

Now, the bad. In the first 100 rounds, he had an empty case jam between the top of the barrel hood and the lower forward portion of the SRO. Later it happened again in the session, for a total of two instances in 600 rounds. Hope this doesn’t turn out to be an issue.

He sent me this, showing it.

I wonder how much the plate mounting system contributes to this since it requires the SRO to sit higher than a direct mounted option?

Think we can sticky some chewing gum in there to prevent it?

I think the mounting system/height would have a huge impact on this. My SRO sits much lower on my milled Glock 19.5.

This “issue” may be the best argument I have heard for 45 ACP in the last few years!

Is the case ejection for the 320 X5 robust? is he running gamer ammo and springs?

I was just contemplating a G19.5 this morning, but if the gap is too big, I'll go direct mill like I have before

I’m sure the Glock MOS would have an equivalent gap. If it only works well with direct milled slides that’s gonna be a problem for most people.

Easily fixed. Take a piece of that foam tape they use to seal around doors and put it on the bottom of the optic window. Gap filled. Problem solved.

Is there room for the iron sight to be mounted (direct milled) in front of the optic instead of at the rear?

I wouldn't think so based on the position that a forward placed sight is usually positioned. That would probably need to be definitively answered by someone more familiar with the actual milling process though.
