I'm sure we won't miss that one
 We always recommend buying from our dealers, they're hard working and decent folks deserving of your support Quote HistoryQuoted: @Duffy Are you planing on a plate for the 43x/48 and RMRcc? Thanks 20 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There will not be a Holosun OPF. OPF-G, RMR tightly cradles the sight between its front and rear fences/recoil lugs, each H sight has slightly different lengths between the lug holes and front radius/edge, with each H sight different from another, we're not going to make 6 plates for 6 sights, or however many models they have. That said, August and future production OPF-G, RMR does work with 507C as if it were made for it. 508T is loose on it, 407c requires fitting. These are all v1s, v2 are different and we stopped buying H sights to see if they work. OPF-G, DPP however, will see the light of day soon. I just signed up on the waiting list. I want to get in line for the DPP on my 34. |

Just picked up an OPF-G, RMR for my G45 MOS. I must say, it is a quality plate. I have 3 CHPWS RMR V4 MOS plates on my other Glocks which I bought because I could not find an OPF-G, RMR anywhere a couple of months ago. That said, both are great quality, I am impressed with the customer service and participation by Duffy on this thread.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The May production OPF-G, RMR had tighter tolerances, which had the intended effect of making them a tight fit for RMRs and SROs, but given the +/- 0.005 tolerance between the lugs and the front edge radius, also had the unintended consequence of being too tight for more RMRs and SROs. August production went back to the first (March) production specs, which again make OPF-G, RMR workable with H 507C and 508C, whereas the May units were not. |

Usually determined by when you bought it. There used to be a 2 months gap between each production when they were out of stock everywhere, this is narrowing to a few weeks from now. If you bought it recently, it's the latest production unit.

Wanted to give Roger a shout out. I f'ed up my last plate and he sent me a replacement one no questions asked. Got it installed today....holy eff that thing is in there TIGHT. The plate itself is super tight, and the RMR is in there tighter than on an old slide which was milled for the RMR.

OPF-G, RMR is meant to be tight to keep the sight immobile. OPF-G, DPP is so tight, we had to loosen it up by 0.001 so accommodate Glock and DPP tolerances.

I know
The risk in so doing is sometimes tolerance stacking happens. Every plate that ships is tested on our G19 slide and RMR, still it can be too tight for some Glock MOS cuts. |

Forgive my ignorance, but is the current version for sale at primary arms for rmr/sro compatible with the Holosun 507C? Or are you making a Holosun specific plate?

These are the new production units that should work with 507C, but bear in mind they're not designed for any H sights, we never meant for them to work with H sights, only RMR and SRO.

Anyone using the continuous precision irons with a RMR in the MOS? Trying to get a lower 1/3 preferably. I have heard it’s better to have a rear iron that has a set screw given the coating and sliding out.

I love the rear sight. Visually for me the squared off and serrated rear sight is better compared to the angled and non-serrated one on the Ameriglo gl429 set because it (the former) occludes more of the visually distracting data at least for me and how I see. Not to mention it cuts down on glare due to the serrations. My only issue is the front sight is maybe too short. It's a .290" on the tallest model vs .315" on the Ameriglo, the latter of which I've found to have a POI I prefer with impact just above the front sight. The CP front sight might give something closer to a 6 o'clock hold which I didn't care for. The rear CP sight is the same height as the Ameriglo (.394" total sight height) fwiw. I hate when companies don't post the height of both sights, couldn't find how tall the CP rear was anywhere. I'll post up some comparison photos when I get a chance ETA: CP rear sight is on a G19 gen5 MOS with the FCD plate, Ameriglo on a slide milled by ATEI. Both slides have a .315" front sight

What are the torque specs FCD gives for the mounting screws for the RMR and plate?

13.3 inch lb (you can round it off to 12 to 13) for the plate to slide, 13 to 15 in lb for the sight to plate screws.

Not only is it functional it also looks much better without the gaps in front and back of the rmr.

According to the continuous precision website, they offer front sight heights of .25 and .29 inches. I would assume that the rear sight also changes in height with the change in front sight Heights, when buying a package. I have the Ameriglo sights, and I have been looking for back up sights that are a little bit shorter, as the milled Brownells slide allows the red dot sight to sit a little lower than an MOS gun, and the ameriglo sights cover up way too much of the window for my taste. The .290” set from CP might be the ticket. |

The first prototype was so precise, everything fit perfectly with zero movement, we had to loosen it up
As evidenced by our experience and handling fitment issues encountered by customers, and this really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, tolerance stacking happens, and it's more frequent because we demand a tight fit on our plate. On some Glock slides, the MOS cut is too short, and requires the plate to be fitted. Once fitted, it's where you'd want it to be, i.e. immobile. As I explained in a meeting, many of the officers in attendance know the issues of OEM Glock MOS plates very well, they are also keenly aware of tolerance stacking, where one plate fits perfectly on many, but would be too tight on others, and of course the reverse is also true, where one plate is "loose" on some, but just right for others. Among dozens of plates and slides that need to be fitted, it's easy to pick one that matches. We've replaced a few plates that are in spec with plates that are loose on our test slide (we hold a tolerance just like Glock and Trijicon). The plate is but an interface that gets sandwiched between the optic and slide, and is the part that has to deal with both above and below components we do not make and can't control. |

I'm thinking about not including a T10 key. It is provided as a convenience, but OPF-G, RMR must be installed with a torque wrench using specified torque values, the included T10 key is handy but should not be used to complete the installation.
We'll carry Vortex branded torque wrenches instead of pointing folks to Amazon in weeks to come. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I use the Wheeler Fat Wrench. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Need to pick up an inch torque wrench for this plate/screws. Any suggestions? Thanks I was wondering about this as well. The analog Wheelers are in five inch pound increments, so not nearly precise enough to meet the specs listed on the FCD plate. The digital model is more precise but the bottom limit is 15 inch pounds, so too much for the plate. None of the gun shops around here have anything more precise than that either. I really hate to buy another $100 tool to use a couple times a year. |
