The Gen 6 Glock 17 features a redesigned extractor and plunger assembly, which is an independent unit. This redesign aims to prevent Loctite from contaminating the extractor/plunger area during optic mounting. While the speaker notes consistent ejection with previous models, this change also contributes to a slightly higher bore axis, similar to designs seen in Shadow Systems pistols.

This video details a resolution with Trijicon regarding an optic failure. The speaker experienced a broken brass piece connecting the battery to the cap on their Trijicon RCR. Trijicon is sending replacement screws and the optic will be sent in for service. The issue is suspected to be due to using the incorrect length screws for the RCR on a Smith & Wesson pistol, despite proper torque and Loctite application.

This guide details the process of mounting a red dot optic, specifically the Romeo X, onto a non-SIG SAUER slide. It emphasizes proper indexing, applying forward pressure, using Loctite on screws, and achieving the correct torque specification with a torque-limiting driver for a secure and reliable installation. The instructor, Mike from 6our Academy, provides clear, step-by-step instructions suitable for beginners.

This guide provides expert instruction from 1st Shot Tactical on how to properly mount a Holosun 407C red dot sight onto a Springfield Armory Echelon pistol. It covers necessary tools, preparation, the installation process, and crucial steps like applying threadlocker and torquing screws to the correct specification for a secure and reliable optic mount.

This video provides a detailed look at the SIG SAUER LOC (Leverage Optimized Connection) optic, highlighting its unique mounting system designed for enhanced stability and durability. The presenters demonstrate the installation process on SIG P320 and P365 platforms, emphasizing the importance of the 'LOC' slide cut and the use of Loctite. The review covers its waterproof capabilities, night vision compatibility, and robust performance under stress testing, including drops and repeated racking.

This guide explains the critical step of applying Loctite to holster adjustment screws to prevent them from loosening over time. It emphasizes using removable blue Loctite and applying it sparingly to just a few threads. Proper Loctite application ensures consistent retention and prevents parts from falling off, maintaining the reliability of your concealed carry setup.

This video debunks the myth that red dot sights (RDS) are less reliable than iron sights on handguns. The instructor, based on extensive data from teaching, states that RDS issues are infrequent and often stem from improper installation, such as overtightening screws without Loctite or using inappropriate optic/plate combinations. He emphasizes that proper Loctite application and screw torque are crucial for RDS longevity.

This tutorial demonstrates how to convert the Swampfox Kraken Red Dot sight from a handgun (RMR footprint) configuration to a Picatinny rail mount. The process involves removing the optic from its initial adapter, detaching the handgun adapter, and then reassembling the optic onto a new RMR base plate that interfaces with a Picatinny adapter. The instructor emphasizes the use of blue Loctite for securing screws to prevent loosening during recoil.

This guide details the installation of a Trijicon RCR red dot sight on a Glock 17 MOS pistol, emphasizing safety and precise torque specifications. The instruction, delivered with high authority, covers firearm clearing, slide disassembly, optic mounting with Loctite, and proper screw torquing using a Trijicon torque card. It highlights the importance of using the correct adapter plate for MOS systems and achieving the specified 13 inch-pounds of torque for secure mounting.

This guide details the professional installation of an Aimpoint ACRO P-2 optic onto a Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS. It emphasizes proper cleaning of mounting surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and the critical use of Loctite 243 threadlocker for securing the adapter plate, along with applying witness marks for maintenance. The video demonstrates expert-level attention to detail, reflecting a high degree of firearm handling proficiency.

This video highlights common mistakes made by previous owners of firearms, specifically focusing on an improperly mounted scope on a Serbu R150 Mark chambered in .50 BMG. The instructor points out the use of excessively tall, knockoff scope rings, lack of proper spacing between the scope and the firearm's body, and the absence of Loctite on mounting screws. These errors are identified as potential causes for accuracy problems and indicate a lack of understanding regarding proper firearm setup and maintenance.

This guide details the proper mounting procedure for pistol-mounted optics, emphasizing the use of specific tools like inch-pound torque wrenches and Loctite 248. It stresses the importance of dry fitting, degreasing, incremental torquing, and a 24-hour curing period to ensure reliability. The content also touches on zeroing strategies, optic types (open vs. closed emitter), and routine maintenance for pistol optics, drawing on the expertise of Gunsight Academy instructor Eric Gelhouse.
