Frequently Asked Questions

What is needed to install a Trijicon RMR on a Glock 19 MOS?

For a Glock 19 MOS, you'll need the Trijicon RMR (or HD/SRO), an adapter plate compatible with the MOS system (like Forward Controls Design), Loctite, and appropriate torque wrenches (like a Wheeler FAT Wrench) for precise screw tightening.

What are the correct torque values for installing an RMR on a Glock 19 MOS?

When using an adapter plate on a Glock 19 MOS, torque the adapter plate screws to 13 inch-pounds. Then, torque the Trijicon RMR optic screws to 15 inch-pounds. Always use a calibrated torque wrench.

Do I need an adapter plate for a Trijicon RMR on a Glock 19?

Yes, if your Glock 19 has the MOS (Modular Optic System) slide, you will need a specific adapter plate designed to mount the Trijicon RMR, HD, or SRO onto the slide's optic cut.

What type of Loctite should be used for red dot sight installation?

It's recommended to use Loctite (often red or blue threadlocker) on the screws when mounting the adapter plate and the optic itself. This helps prevent them from vibrating loose under recoil.
