atek3 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I installed the Holosun HS507C and Springer Precision plate on my P320 X5, everything is tight. However when I look carefully I can see an awful lot of light between the slide and mounting plate. I don't like that at all. Do I need to relieve material from the plate with a file until it installs with no light visible? Makes little sense to me as it installed well ( i.e. tightly) without filing. Ideas? (Like an idiot I didn't think thru the added height of the plate before I bought the Holosun, thinking about going with a Romeo One to shave a few millimeters off the height ) Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF that's not the problem 2. then read the part on Springers website that tells about where to file the plate so it fits and there is always manufacturing tolerances in both parts. 3. if those two don't work, I have no clue!!!

Aircooled6racer Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hello: I have the Springer plate with my Holosun 507C and it fits great. The dot is amost at the same height as the Romeo 1 was. The plate I used did not need any filing to fit and just slide right in from the side. I really like this setup more than the Romeo 1 6MOA.

atek3 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Put in the Gray Guns competition Trigger, Talon Grips, and Holosun. With the right length screw it fit perfectly. Can't wait to test it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharper2112 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 What length screws did you use? I’m about to do this exact setup but they specifically say on Springers website that the provided screws are the wrong length. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hello: I just ground the screws down shorter so they fit. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How has the optic held up so far? How many rounds do you have on it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hello: So far it has held up very well. I only have about 1000 rounds through it so far since I have been busy. It has not turned off like my Romeo 1 did during a match only to work again after I removed and put the battery back in. Once was enough for me on the Romeo 1 6 moa so it sits on a PCC now. Holosun have a less expensive 507C type red dot now that I may try next on a open pistol. I have been impressed with the Holosun 507 and 510's.

I know the window is a little larger and clearer on the Romeo than the 507c but what good is that if the damn things don’t work! I think the less expensive Holosun you mentioned is the 407c. That is supposed to be the same optic as the 507c but with only the dot reticle for $70 cheaper. My 507c comes in tomorrow so I look forward to giving it a go.

Aircooled6racer Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hello: I actually like the smaller dot size of the 507C over the 6 moa dot of the Romeo 1. Do a couple of draws with the Holosun to get your index and you will love the way it works. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slide4949 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Holosun customer support is excellent. Have a 510c I could not get zeroed, sent it in and had a brand new in 10 days. Come to find out it was the way I had it mounted was the problem. Fixed my issue and works great now. Edited August 7, 2019 by Slide4949 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
