Rich406 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) I received my trijicon SRO today. Went to the range to try it out and had several issues with jamming. I’m the manual it warns that the front of the SRO can’t overhang the ejection port. I would say in my case that it is pretty much dead even with the back of the ejection port. The empty space under the front creates a trap for brass. Edited June 10, 2019 by Rich406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) As if that overhang was never gonna cause issues. It'd be ok if ejection was spot like a CZ but no go for glocks, x5's and lately my new 9mm 2011. I look forward to the next version without it.

tact Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Perhaps the mounting system is a contributing factor as a milled slide does not have that gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s entirely possible. Although I think it would be a hassle to direct mill it on the X5. I need to shoot it it some more to try and nail down exactly what is happening. I was planning to try a lighter recoil spring to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czgunsalot Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Interesting? definitely keep this post updated. I’m really thinking about picking one up. would help to hear some feedback about the dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be sending him a 226 Rx slide if I can't find someone locally to do it. Just waiting on the SRO (5 moa) to get here. I am concerned that on the 226 the hood around the lens will overhang the breach a little but I've seen posts saying it works fine this way on 2011 style guns, but the lens hood does sit much lower than it does on yours with that adapter plate.

Rich406 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 2.5 MOA. I initially wanted the 5 MOA but they aren’t available yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice a lot of people are wanting the 5 moa. Why is that? with my experience with rmrs I had both 6.5 and 3.25 and I perfected the 3.25, I thought the 6.5 was a little to big for competition. But it is all personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric Im using a 14# and prefer that. I went through and replaced the extractor and extractor spring but left the 14# recoil spring. The gun has 24k rounds on it and was probably due. I also slightly filed back the lower lip of the SRO. Went to the range this morning and had no issues through 570 rounds. Good start but I need to make a couple more trips and a few thousand more rounds before I deem it fixed and reliable.

I was using a 6MOA rts2 prior to the SRO. Because the 2.5 moa SRO is so bright I think it’s funtionally larger than 2.5 moa kind of like the DPP.

waktasz Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Take the thumb rest off. It causes a cross directional torque to the frame which puts a pre-load on the ejector and directs the brass off-axis upon the extraction stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich406 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I looked at a SRO my buddy mounted on his glock 34 and even with the MOS plate it sits much lower, probably half or slightly less than half the gap as I have on the x5. Direct milling might be the only good option for an x5, however the optic cut itself isn’t very deep, so I’m not sure if it would even 100% fix the problem.

dansedgli Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 If you can get rid of that plate I reckon it would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor300wsm Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 As said above, I think filling the gap with something semi permanent would be a cheap/simple solution. Doesn’t really need to be rock hard, just something to fill the void. Anything from Permatex, Sugru, or even having a piece machined to fit directly in that gap with a little adhesive. Many options over permanently cutting on your slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
