Well my Osight SE for a S&W Shield X requires a 6-32x0.433 screw which comes out to 7/16" closest (0.4375)

I would like to upgrade to a McMaster Torx Plus https://www.mcmaster.com/products/screws/flat-head-screws-2~/steel-torx-plus-flat-head-screws~~/ but the only lengths they have that are close are 3/8" (0.375) or 1/2" (0.500)

Go longer and file it down, if needed. Simple.

I think the optic threads for the Shield X also go entirely through the slide (not blind holes with a bottom), so a screw that is a little too long shouldn't matter too much (as long as it doesn't protrude through the slide entirely.
