I don't have it yet, but my understanding is that it only comes with the RMR adapter plate. If the direct MOS plate is now included, that's great news.
Probably not then. I sent mine out to be milled, so I didn't really pay attention to the plate.
Get a 509T plate from CHPWS which will mount it lower than piggybacking two plates.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
They seem to be backordered everywhere, and I'm not looking to piggyback. Holosun now has a direct mount MOS adapter: https://holosun.com/index/product/detail/id/193.html
I also think the Holosun adapter is steel, which I'd prefer to the aluminum CHPWS given how thin the adapter is.
Well, after five days of resuming daily carry of my G48+507k, I was startled to discover this today. I do not typically do "practice" carefully when the gun is loaded 10+1, but this morning for whatever reason I did a very slow, easy draw to make sure the sight was on (it was; it always is), the tension was correct, etc. etc.
As I got a quick sight picture with my finger firmly along the slide...I noticed my lens had cracked. Yup, cracked with these odd slightly circular lines...
Well...or so I thought
Turns out some hair had invaded the open emitter shroud area and gotten lodged under the cover, looking for all the world like a cracked lens. Phew!
Ok, so with that, and in regards to the situation of carrying an open emitter HS (507c or 507k), loaded, do you have a daily cleaning or dusting regimen to suggest as regards to keeping the lens free of dirt and debris?
Neat, I wasn't aware that part existed.

Actually, the answer is to take a red dot class with a reputable instructor that runs occluded/damaged optics drills, so that if you have a bad battery, crack a lens, have snow, rain or mud occlude the window, etc. you immediately transition to another technique like using the back-up irons or using the back of the slide superimposed over the target's shoulder area and press the shot. The class should also cover how to shoot with a cracked lens. Exposed emitters can have issues, but those issues can be mitigated by proper training. As to cleaning, I would just get a can of that computer keyboard cleaning stuff and blow it out every week or so. If it really bothers you, get a closed-emitter optic, but there are still issues with them, too, just less in number.Well, after five days of resuming daily carry of my G48+507k, I was startled to discover this today.

Thanks, I was pondering canned air. I would not want to shoot it very long; I've used products like that for e.g. cleaning electronics and it can get chilly.
How about something like this?
