silverphoenix Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Would a Trijicon RMR significantly help my shooting with the XDM9? I'm having a lot of problems and can't afford to keep wasting ammo like this... Do they work well with the XDM? Do I really need to mill out the slide? Where can I find an RMR for a decent price?

Quack Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Yes you need to mill the slide for it. Hilton Yam (10-8 performance) has been testing out RMR's on one of his M&P's and it doesn't look good. He's had 3 fail in under 3000rds. There are other trainers that use/try them and have also had issues at lower round counts. Rather fixing the hardware, fix the software (shooter) first.

silverphoenix Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ouch--I definitely wouldn't want to hurt the reliability of my pistol. I'm not for sure if it's the pistol or me--I shoot great with a beretta 92fs, but awful with the XDM9. I've let a couple other people use my XDM9 and they also shot horrible with it when they shot fine before with other guns. Is it possible for the sights to be off from the factory?

Yes, it is very possible for the sights to be off from the factory or it's possible the ammo you are shooting is not like the ammo the gun was zeroed with, ex. the gun was zeroed with 115 gr bullets are your are using 124 gr bullets. Are the rounds hitting consistantly low, high, left, right or all over the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the shots grouping well, just off from the POA? Have you shot it from a rest?

Papa Joe Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just one point regarding to mill the slide. They make an adapter plate that fits into the existing dovetail. The part number for the XDM is RM48 on their website. I have a friend that has been shooting one on Glock for over a year with no problem. I hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just talked to a friend that has a RMR on his M&P, and said he has to send his back because it loses its windage zero after about 500rds. Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
