Red dot update - June 2019

[HeavyDuty]

NOBLEX did that a couple years ago.

I forgot about that one - I actually like the design for a carry gun. I haven’t heard much about it in a long time, though.

I figure MOS is the majority of RDS ready pistols on market. I’m surprised no one has come out with direct mount to MOS sight options, like what Glock just did with the slimline MOS and the RMS footprint.

Holosun had a prototype like that at the 2020 SHOT Show.

And then maybe MOS becomes like M-LOC.

I have been carrying a M&P Compact lower with a Core 4.25 uppers with a 5 moa SRO. This morning, the dot was dead. I pulled the battery, expecting it to be low, but the battery tester said near 100 percent full. I reinstalled the battery, really tightening the cap down, and it started working. I think the cap had gotten a bit loose. With the SRO, you want a wide blade, short shank screwdriver to snug the crap out of the battery cap.

Eventually my LTT RDO slide will arrive, and I’ll need another optic for it.
Currently I have a HS 407C on my RDO Glock slide.
Any reason I shouldn’t just get another one for this new slide?
Still seems like the best value.

Thx for the SRO tip--just ordered the 5 Moa for my M&P Compact to replace the defective RMRcc.

Dunno about the SRO, but my MROs all look to have a slot specifically made for a coin. I wonder about sacrificing a simple screwdriver grinding it to fit rather than probably eventually tweaking the cap on an expensive sight.

That made me think of my cheap choke tube tool, but there wouldn’t be room to turn it.

Including a torque wrench is a smart move.

The majority of MRDS failures i've seen have been related to under or over torquing the mounting screws.
