SP-01 Shadow with SRO Question

[ES13Raven]

I just picked up an SP-01 Shadow Custom from CZC and had them install the custom RDS plate for the SRO.

 

The screws that come with the SRO are too long.  Anyone know the correct size screws to get, and where to get them?

 

I'd prefer black screws with an Allen or Torx screw head.

 

Thanks!

Take measurements and then order what you need from McMaster Carr.

I had the same issue and ended up cutting down the longer screws with a Dremel to fit.  I believe I ordered shorter screws that would work better with the SRO.  I will check to see if I still have them.

check CZC website for Rmr/Sro specific screws? Primary machine carries them, not sure how they will work on with the CZC plate though.

and as S&W686 noted you can also file down what you have.

This might help with screw size.............

I ended up using the RMR screws on the SRO. It works fine with the CZC optic plate.

 Ive used these screws before https://www.battlewerx.com/trijicon-rmr-mounting-screws-for-glock-mos-slides-6-32-x-385-torx-pair/

 

Trimming the screws that came with your sro is probably your best bet though since you can get them exactly where they need to be. I believe CZC recommends this route

Thanks, I had already found the BattleWerks website and ordered their screws.  I also went to Lowe's to see if they had any screws that would work. Here is what I found using a micrometer, hopefully this helps someone else in the future:

.495" = SRO stock screws (too long)

.369" = Lowe's Machine Screws #6-32 x 3/8" (too short)

.381" = BattleWerks Trijicon RMR for Glock MOS 6-32 x .385" (too short)

.424" = JagerWerks Trijicon RMR/SRO - #6-32 x 7/16" IP15 (just right)

I ran into the same issue and I believe I  found that the ones made for a Glock plate fit just right, but don’t remember now since I’ve moved on to an S2. Seems silly that CZC doesn’t offer them for how popular the SRO is.

That's nowhere near enough thread engagement with the slide.  Good luck.

Good luck? OK Mister condescending...

 

Please tell us how "that's nowhere near enough thread engagement with the slide" when the SRO thread doesn't screw into the slide, it screws into the plate. The RDS plate has separate screws for the slide. The SRO screws I am using are just touching the slide, having enough thread to go all the way through the plate.

Did the glock mos screws from BattleWerks work when mounting your SRO to the plate or did you have to get longer screws
