Does this new S&W 5.7 pistol take full size optics like a SRO or RMR or does it take the micro red dots only? Do I need a red dot plate for this gun?
|
|
|
Anyone?
|
|
|
All the Youtube reviews say it takes the smaller ones because the slide is thin.

Supposedly it takes the Holosun 407K / 507K

My local shop finally got in their first M&P 5.7 pistol. I was the first one to look at it... And... I found the grip too big for my smaller hands. Too big, back to front. I had a feeling this would happen. But as they advertised it as the thinnest 5.7 grip (side to side), I thought the thinness MIGHT make up for the longer cartridge sized grip... I had to try it, because the gun is really interesting....
2 handed, it works. 1 handed, the grip is too long. So, while I wanted to buy it, I passed. I have had to sell too many guns over the years because they were too big for my hands... They always seem like they will work while I am at the gun store... But after several range trips, I always see the truth. Especially any 45 that isn't a 1911.... I also finally looked at a 2011. I had been told the grip was fatter than a G17, so I never bothered to look at them... I didn't want to find out it worked, and then I would want to spend a ton of money for a nice one... It's "okay" in the grip size, but is on the border of what fits my hands. So, no purchase today |

I can see now why it reccomends the micro dots. That optic is hanging off the sides.

The 507k does not

There goes ARF costing me more money again. That said, before I commit I need to do some reading on how consistent and concentric these 2pc barrel designs are. I’m concerned with using my Sparrow on one and would probably limit suppressed use to an Omega 9k for the extra wiggle room.

I mean I’ve been using a dedicated 5.56 can on it (heavy OG YHM turbo) and I’ve had no issues.

Honest outlaw on YouTube said no plates are needed to mount an optic on this pistol. Others say you need plates. And what screws do you use?

View Quote "The 13347 is cut for the Holosun 507k. Thank you, SWCS" So that means it should fit the 407k, 507k, EPS Carry, and EPS without the need for any plate. I'm pretty sure that's basically the RMSc footprint. It seems like mounting optics on pistols has become very confusing as everyone has their own footprint and mounting plates. |

Doe’s holosun supply the correct length screws for the S&W57 or does Smith provide them? |

View Quote Honestly I'm a bit confused by it all too but I'm sure some combination has to work If not I'll just end up ordering some screws from somewhere. |

View Quote I'm not a lawyer but wouldn't this fall into a grey area? The actual barrel (the portion with rifling) is inside a sleeve which is essentially a gas expansion chamber tube that is threaded. Edited - beat, see post prior to this. |

So what screws do you use to mount the 507C to this pistol ? Anyone know ? Does Holosun ship the correct screws? Or S&W?
|
|
|
|
If it’s anything like the eps(same footprint) it will come wit the correct screws(longer of the 2 sets).
|
|
|
Anyone else having magazine issues? If I load to 22 rounds the follower jams up.
|
|
|
Saw that on a YouTube video. So loaded to 21
|
|
|
These should be softer shooting than the PSA Rock correct? How's the slide weight, lighter than a regular M&P 9mm?
|

Sagillman, what screws did you use to mount the 507K. I have the 5.7 and a Holosun 507k and the screws are too short. I wasn't able to mounted. Did you buy aftermarket screws?
|
|
|
I had an old 507k and the long screws didn't work for me.

What torque specs on the holosun to M&P 5.7?

I bought a 507K. None of the screws provided fit.
