anyone have a preferred mounting plate for a RMR on a brand new Sig X5 legion, including BUIS? My new pistol clears in 14 days and I want to get squared away by then

Is it brand new ? If it has the current R2 optics cut you should not need an adapter plate.Originally Posted by theJanitor
The R2 cut allows direct mounting of both DPP/Romeo1PRO/Romeo2 pattern and RMR/SRO/Holosun pattern.
Look at the model number on the box if it includes or RDS with “R2” you are GTG.
I believe the current one is 320X5-9-LEGION-R2

The R2 added RMR holes to the M17/18/legion cut.
it's new, still in the LGS waiting for permit approval. the RMR can mount directly to the slide, but there are no recoil bosses in the slide, so only the screws are absorbing the recoil. I'm leaning toward the FCD plate
On my carry Legion I used a CHPWS filler plate to mount my 508T. You still screw right to the slide but you get bosses and a little bump at the front to fill the gap.

OK, ignore that, I just saw you said with BUIS.

So no BUIS for you? Running a tall front sight at least?On my carry Legion I used a CHPWS filler plate to mount my 508T. You still screw right to the slide but you get bosses and a little bump at the front to fill the gap.

Carry guns I use BUIS, that is my IDPA gun so I am not overly concerned about it. Yes, it does have a tall front sight.
I went with the FCD plate, and I'll likely install just a tall front sight for now
If I believed in that sort of thing I would say I jinxed myself. Practicing with the Legion today and felt something hit me int the face, it was the head of one of the mounting screws that broke off. Flush with the slide of course. Oh well, not my favorite gun anyway.
