Conceptually, they seem like a great idea. In practice one USPSA friend just broke a post on his Zev X5 slide, and another broke two posts on a Zev 09. Trashes the slide.
Others have experience with them?

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
This guy had broken posts too.

It's disappointing to me, because I've got two sludes with those kind of posts, machined by Battlewerx. Battlewerx has recently abandoned the threaded posts, I believe, and gone to a conventional RMR cut.
I've heard you can mill a new larger screw hole but obviously you loose the stabilization of the post and it requires someone who can actually do it... But it would save the slide.
I routinely use it for plate to slide and use a little on optic to plate.
It comes off pretty easily. Like rubber cement. It says “permanent” but on metal it’s easy to remove by rubbing with a finger.
Obviously that only applies to sealed bottom optics. No go on something like an RMR.
