Yep, they work... had an RMR on a Walther Q5 Match slide and swapped in a HS507C... fit right on the RMR plate, perfect fit, works great.

RMR was giving me battery issues first trip to the range. RMR will end up on a Glock with seal plate - either standard or the one with the battery bump to eliminate the BAD DESIGN issue. To be fair I do have two RMR's on MOS Glocks with seal plates and they are fine. But Trijicon is not a VALUE leader, nor above design flaws, IMHO.

I like mine, the window is really easy to see the irons through and it seems the circle dot makes it a little faster. I also like the solar aspect of it. If it works out I'll get a few more for shotguns and carbines.

How many rounds through your Q5 since you put the HS in service? I've only got a few hundred through the G32 since I got it milled.

Only a couple boxes since dumping the RMR. I really like the reticle selection. I like using the open circle. That Walther frame has a good amount on it though - it is a PPQ 5" frame from SSE days.

On my Glocks I have co-witness with tall black Ameriglo's. The Q5 slide, you have to remove the entire rear sight "cover plate" and replace with the RMR plate. No co-witness.

Fiber Sight vs RDS,
After I installed FastFire on Buckmark, grouping is slightly(at outdoor) better than Fiber Sight.

How has that adapter worked for you? I am frankly reluctant to start having my slide milled until I am confident I like using a red dot on my pistols. The adapter looks like it could be a good option. I have been looking at a Dual Illuminated RMR mounted to my G17 with an adapter.

I also use the Ameriglo's on my Glocks. The G32 is 'race cut' and I'm not sure if the cut or the HS is the reason, but I can really see the irons better on this one than the others.

You can always just cover the milled part with a cover plate if you don't like it.

I had to get seriously HIGH suppressor sights to be able to use them through my original FF3's on the two MOS Glocks... sights did not need to be so high for RMR's, but I didn't go to the trouble of lowering them of course. So my irons are really visible on those Glocks too. More so than the FF3's allowed.

The ones I got are apparently 0.315" and 0.394" tall. Fit in all my holsters still but tall enough to pick up pretty easily.

FF3 has a big rear. Even with the ones I had to buy, it was not much clearance to view the rear notch.

I found one review where the dot went out after a box of ammo... sounds like one of my brand new RMR's. Battery connection issue maybe.

Another review where the glass went downrange. That's not good.

Vast majority are great reviews though. Let's see how it holds up. Maybe I will leave it on the 9mm for while longer and then swap it over to the 40MOS and shoot some Underwood through it.

Early adopters get screwed sometimes hahah.

I have a laser and irons, and a backup RMR literally 20' from me in a box. It's working like a champ so far, and other HS products I've used have also been flawless. If I need the EDC gun, I want the best sights I can get on it. If it goes south I can also switch to the RMR equipped Glock 19, which is basically identical except 9mm and RMR.

How is the performance on a dead battery? Does it actually work on ambient light, even indoors as they advertise? Is the brightness comparable to when it's battery powered?

Bought a 5" ported slide kit for my M&P (1.0). Topped it with an RMR06. No issue with it so far. I like it better than the night sights on my Sig.

the only thing that took getting used to for me is the draw. I was so used to iron sights that finding the dot consistently took a few days.

after a while i'm used to both now, even after immediately switchingback and forth. I want to RMR everything I have now because my groups have drastically improved by at least 3x.

The HOLOSUN 507C??? I have never had a dead battery on it? RMR?? I have three battery only RMR's... when a battery loses contact,



If the Holosun does cool stuff like that, maybe I should RTFM for once.

I fiddled with it sans battery before it was on the Glock, never after. Worked great on solar only, as do the other HS solar devices I have. The battery change procedure is the only gripe I have with it so far and it does have a few advantages as they implemented it. Overall I'd rather have a weatherproof cover like the Nikon but this way is OK.


EDIT:

To be fair I never tried it with a DEAD battery. I suspect it works just like with no battery but you never know.

Might be a fun way to modernize my Model 28 4"... but don't think I'd do it. The way I shoot it (slow SA) and the decent irons on it, I don't think it could be any more accurate.

Works good. I also fitted a mil spec 1911 with an adapter from amazon.

You can go to Brownells and get a milled upper for your Glock. If I shot a glock, this is what I would do.

Yeah there are tons of options from decent to cheapo these days - complete slides including a barrel and sights installed cut for RMR from $299.

http://sovereignguns.com/index.php?m...index&cPath=86

Rockslides would most likely be the CHEAPO option, but posted for example. I don't have one.

Those of you with RMR flickering issues... I assume they are Type 01s? I had the same issue with mine and a Battlewerx anti flickering plate solved that problem. Haven't had a hiccup ever since.

Yeah I was going to order three plates but the two I have on Glocks with the Trijicon flat seal plates haven't acted up yet... the one on the Q5 slide didn't have any plate... it'll probably end up on a G19... so I might as well get the BW plate for it and order a couple extra just in case.

I was so mad at the RMR on the Q5 I ordered a HS507C instead of more parts that cost extra for an RMR, hahah. Yeah it is a RM06.

Holosun supposedly has a 508t coming out soon. Titanium housing super strong. No white logo.

The 507 is already nearly as much as an Trijicon, I dunno how the math works out if they bump up the price. I guess Trijicon was a no name outfit once too.

I'd rather see Chinese knives and red dots everywhere than Chinese web-connected HD security cameras everywhere including government and military buildings. I wouldn't say they are innovating, but the HS507C is significantly less cost than a RMR. Pretty easy to find one @ $280 shipped IMHO.

Solar panels on the RDS I could take it or leave it... more than one reticle is nice, but not innovative since Holosight gen1. RMR form factor and mount pattern certainly not innovative copying Trijicon.

I'm hoping the HS lasts. It is my first time trying HS. Trij is tough, yeah. But Trij nickel and dimes you for stuff they should include like a seal plate (with battleworx bump), low mount, some kind of cover, for Pete's sake. Give me a basic mount with spacer, keep your cool box and give me cardboard. Got four of those cool looking boxes on a shelf and they hold manuals and torx.

Yes, right. I was making more of a general statement.
If you went to a gun show from 10 years ago or so, you'd always see that table selling cheap Chinese optics that you know would break within a few rounds of use. Now, it's different.

Yeah I hear you. Even the cheap ones work pretty good till you bump them. Definitely bust open if you drop a rifle and the sight hits the safe door frame. I would not want to do that to my Aimpoint, but I know it would work fine afterwards. IMHO, HS is no Aimpoint. Trijicon is no Aimpoint. The real bargain is still Aimpoint PRO. They look funny on a Glock though.

Might be a little late but these guys know their stuff when it comes to RDS on pistols, so I hope this information is useful

On the flip side the last RMR I bought was $305, but that's not typical.

I have several, maybe 4-5 other HS solars but this is my first mini-rides-on-the-slide HS, so I'm cautiously optimistic. All of them have been flawless so far although they have been 'upgrading' the way the buttons work over the years and the new ones are a lot less fiddly.

I like irons if a battery dies... but I guess on the Q5 slide where I have no rear sights, I have that solar backup. When I buy a gun I order spare mags while I wait 10 days... for a RDS I order 5 or 10 spare batteries. If it something like a CR2032, I probably have 30 spares.

They have a use before date and last a year, so I generally keep only 6 or so on hand for that reason. The CR2 and CR123 I have about the same but I also have some rechargeables.

the battery part is what keeps me waffling from buying the RMR RM04 which is their fiber optic / tritium powered sight.

like their reflex red dot that uses the same tech, the same issues applies. will wash out if you aim from the shadow to a bright area. and at night, the tritium may not be bright enough.
