I carry a 19.5 MOS with RMR 90+% of the time. I carry a 48 the rest of the time when I need something slimmer when wearing a suit.

I had planned on getting a 48 MOS until I realized that it would only work with the Shield optic. Now I'm thinking about having my 48 milled instead.

Anyone done this? Who did you use? Bonus points for pics!

Somewhat related. Brownells now has their stripped 48 slides that are precut for the RMRCC.

Picked up my 48 yesterday, had it milled for a 507k. It's cool.

You can get the 43X/48 milled for the RMRCC, but you lose the rear sight in all of the ones I've seen.  There are two options if you want backup irons: have the rear sight milled in front of the RMRCC, or get something proprietary like the ATEI "shim" sight.  I just decided after shooting my 43x MOS with the RMRCC and the CHPWS plate that I could do good enough work close in using a nonworking RMRCC and front sight.  The I'm not trying for 50 yard head shots.  The CHPWS plate makes the whole thing so tall that I doubt you would find a sight high enough that you would want to mount.

Trijicon would do well adding a built in rear like the Holosun 407k/507k, but that in itself presents a problem as there is no adjustment.

The MOS adapter plate by CHPWS is very thin and a 507K sits nice in it.

Mine is currently at PMM for their RMRcc cut with their IDRS.

I had my 43X done at Maple Leaf Firearms for their 507k cut, quick turnaround, tight/great fit.

There is not enough room for an rmrcc with the sight behind it in the non mos versions.  In the mos version, you can have the sight behind it and have the optic space milled out larger for the rmrcc.  This is because, like other mos models, the rear dovetail is closer to the back on the mos then the non mos.

I went with Parker mountain machine, which places a backup iron on top of the rmr.  More robust then the atei.

@ajacobs - Can you give us some more pics of how the rear sight installs in the RMRcc?

Link Posted: 5/1/2021 8:14:13 AM EDT
[#12]
It uses set screws through the RMRcc drain holes.  I am using different screws to attach the optic then PMM supplied as well as a different front sight.

Our steel 43x/48 plate will be out in a month, we're working on backup sights as companion products as well.  No agency will authorize it without backup sights.

Jagerwerks is running a 4th of July sale. $80 optic cuts and $20 nitride refinishing. They can mill your sights to run in front of your optic on the 43x /48

Thanks but I don’t think I want the sights in front of the RMR.

With the 43/43x/48 and an RMRcc the only options you have are:
- rear sight in front of the optic
- no rear sight
- have the guy up in NH (I cannot remember his name) do his cut that removes the dovetail and you use the rear sight he supplies that installs in/on the RMR

You can have a rear sight behind the RMRcc if you start with an MOS gun.

@EzGoingKev

CHPWS did mine

But there are other options. Just like all MOS guns, the dovetail is farther rearward on the MOS g48 and G43x.  No need to bold, I knew what you were talking about and what I was talking about.  I don't post on speculation.

I stand corrected. Thanks for link. All the milled slides I had seen have the rear sight in front of the RMRcc. That said, I would not send anything to CHPWS. They have more horror stories than Stephen King.

I had my slide done by MAC defense. Irons forward. Actually for sale right now because although the RMRcc is a pretty bulletproof sight, I’m sick of having to take the sight off to change batteries even if it’s only once a year.

Check out the 10-8 sights, they give a nice low co-witness too.

If I wanted a slide milled right now I’d sent it to nameless arms, quick turnaround and nice work.

I'm thinking about going with ATEI and using their shimsight which can be swapped between being in front of the optic or behind it.

I freely admit, that I haven't handles the atei, but it is just a thin bent piece of sheet metal.  I don't think there is anyway it could be as robust.

Whether it's in the front or rear it's up against the optic. I don't see how anything could hit it.

I wouldn't say they are faulty or a liability, but they certainly can't be as robust.  I can imagine a snag could bend them in the opposite direction as the optic.

You did say you haven't handled one so speculation is all we have to go on. I'm confident ATEI has tested it thoroughly, though.

You take making it sound like I am implying they aren't suitable.  And as I said, I don't know. But I don't have to handle one to know they can't be as robust at 1/4 or less of the thickness.

I think it'll be harder to bend than you think if you are even able to snag it with anything. It's more accurate to say that you think it's less robust.
