I did the same with my G48 and G43. I put a Trigicon RMRcc on them and have had great success.

Carl,
Did the Trijicon RMR need a separate plate for your 48 MOS?

Joe

I apologize Joe my friend I just seen this. No sir because my slide was cut for the RMR. Mine is not a MOS model. I had a G19MOS for a while and I DID have to have the Trijicon Sealing Plate.

When you bought the G48 MOS, were there any plates in the gun case? I picked up a G19 MOS a couple months ago and there were 3x plates, screws, & a hex wrench shrink wrapped onto a cardboard backer inside the case.

I mounted a Vortex Viper RDS on mine. The Vortex is alright, but it doesn't have the 'shake awake' feature mentioned above. Another pain with the Vortex is it has lock screws to prevent the zeroing adjustments from drifting or inadvertent movement; however the placement of these lock screws butt up against the rear sight. So, to zero the Vortex I had to loosen the lock screws; mount the RDS; zero the red dot; remove the RDS to lock the lock screws; re-mount the RDS; then re-shoot to confirm zero was still good. So, while I'm not un-happy with the Vortex, I will be looking for something different for the Sig 365 XL.

I picked up a Glock 43X frame off of Gun Broker last year after seeing that Suarez was selling slide packages with an MRD mount. This was before Glock started offering the MOS version. I waited a couple of months for it to be delivered and it arrived just as Glock announced the MOS version of what I overpaid for from Suarez. Granted what I have is a pretty nice package, a Glock 43 sized slide with a threaded barrel and comp mounted at the end, and a Holosun 507C on the top (basically comes out to the size of the 48 slide). I later added the Shield Arm magazine release and have 8 of their magazines. I had some teething problems with the Suarez plate coming loose but finally got that sorted out and I have used it in a class with a 500 round count and no problems.

I'm sold on using red dots now and bought a Glock 45 MOS and bought a milled slide for my Glock 17. All using the Holosun MRD on it. I would stronly recommend using the C&H Precision plates for the MOS. Plenty of info out there that you can Google or look up on YouTube as to why you should. The Holosun has a "shake awake" feature that turns them on when it senses movement to help conserve battery life. I've played around with it leaving it sitting on a table for a while and seems to work as advertised. The models I have on my Glocks also have a solar panel on the top to help take advantage of powering it when used outdoors during the day. Not sure if it's a gimmick or not but figured it couldn't hurt. Based on the 50K hour battery life and solar panel, I just leave it on all the time.

You can purchase it with red or green display. The dot is small, 2 MOA, but it also has a 32 MOA circle that greatly helps in target acquisition. It can be operated dot only, circle only, circle and dot or turned off. Controls are on one side and the battery tray is on the other side. The optic doesn't have be removed from the firearm to change the battery. One of the most important features for a self defense handgun, it has a shake awake feature. When you pick it up or draw the firearm, the optic turns on automatically. It will shut off automatically after 10-15 minutes of inactivity. Battery life is advertised at 50,000 hours, but I change the battery annually. There is also a notch in the rear of the housing that serves as a rear sight. You should be able to find it for under $300.

So when the gun is holstered, but you are just walking around in a normal day, is the optic lit up, or off?

It's on if you are wearing it. It only goes to sleep in static position. I have the Swampfox Sentinels on my P365s and they will also fit the G48MOS.
