I’m looking into optic plates for my Sig P365 X Macro too! I’ve heard that the Shield RMS-C is a solid choice. It fits well and has a nice low profile. Anyone else have experience with this?

I’ve used the Shield RMS-C on my P365 X Macro, and it’s been great! However, ensure to check the mounting screws; I’ve had a slight alignment issue.

I personally went with the Holosun 507K. It’s a bit bulky but provides excellent clarity and battery life. Just make sure you get the right plate from the manufacturer.

Good point about the plate! I’ve seen some users having trouble with cheap aftermarket plates not aligning properly.

Has anyone faced issues with over-tightening? I read that some optics can crack if the screws are too tight. Always good to double-check torque specs before finalizing.

7

Absolutely! I cracked my first optic that way. Now I just use a torque wrench, and it makes a huge difference.

I’ve been checking out the Swampfox Sentinel too. It’s quite compact and has decent reviews. Anyone used it?

I’ve heard mixed reviews about it. Some say it’s great, while others have had issues with glass fogging. Always good to research before buying!

Anyone experience any specific fitting issues? I’ve found that the optics can sit differently based on the plate used, which may affect co-witnessing with iron sights.

11

You’re right, I’ve seen discrepancies even between different brands’ plates. It can be quite frustrating when trying to get that perfect co-witness setup.

12

Why didn’t they put a laser on this thing? That would just make life easier, right? Optics, laser, and we’re good to go! :joy:

13

Haha, right? Maybe future models can have all the bells and whistles! But seriously, let’s focus on solid options here.

14

Adding an optic plate to your Sig P365 X Macro can significantly enhance your precision. Users often report improved target acquisition times and accuracy, especially at longer ranges. Make sure to pick a quality optic plate that fits snugly.

I’ve heard that as well! I love how optics can make shooting more intuitive. It really helps with follow-up shots too!

Make sure you choose the right optic. I tried a few models and found the Holosun HS507K to be a solid match for mine. The reticle options are just stellar.

Absolutely agree with the Holosun recommendation! It’s lightweight and the battery life is impressive. Plus, mounting it was really straightforward!

I also had a good experience with the Trijicon RMR. It’s a bit pricier, but the durability is top-notch if you’re out in the field.

Optics can really change the game for shooting small pistols. The clearer sight picture can boost your confidence, and it’s easier to focus under stress!

I’m curious how they handle recoil! Do optics significantly impact performance during rapid fire?
