You won’t be able to overtighten it. It’ll snap before that happens.

Does anyone want an open emitter in nearly 2024?

If they do, they want a window bigger than a postage stamp and glass quality better than a hotel door peephole.

IME the issues with the SRO battery cap are cross threading and tools like undersized screwdrivers damaging the cross slots on the cap rather than over tightening.

I do prefer the form factor of this to the metal SRO tool.

To avoid the dreaded cross threading, I always screw in reverse first until I feel the BUMP of the threads mating up. Then I begin screwing down. I also put a dab of dielectric grease on the thread. It smooths up the process, adds an extra bit of waterproofing, and is O-ring safe.

The RMR window size is perfectly fine... It's the rear deck of the body which covers the lower 5th of the window which is the problem.
They raised the window on this one to be even with the deck so it should be the equal of the Holosun carry options now.

@Clusterfrack this thread got me Googling and I found and ordered a couple of these to stow in range bags and my car.


$10

Screwdriver bit format for use in Fat Wrenches or similar. Thought @RJ might appreciate something like this that can be properly torqued and not over tightened.

Thanks, @Lon

I just ordered one - I like the form factor as well.

Excellent reminder. I did just that installing a set of Challis bushings in my 1911 yesterday.

On topic, this new optic uses the same battery cap design as the SRO, yes? Kinda looks like it, just wasn't 100% sure. So for anyone who would know, does Holosun have a patent or something on the side battery tray design? I mean, if not, why not just copy that, if you are going to design a new RMR? I admit I have zero experience with the cap on an SRO, so I don't know how well (or not) the cap design is thought of. Maybe it works great. Seems weird there are special tools for it, though. That seems...suboptimal. Just curious, is all.

I'm curious if this is a 1632. The width of the optic relative to the slide makes me think this thing is narrow. Why not go with a side load? It's really hard to figure out why Trijicon does what it does

I don't think so. Primary Arms has the battery compartment on the side on the RS-10.
