Frequently Asked Questions

What are the correct torque values for mounting a Trijicon RMR on a Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS?

For a Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS installation, the adapter plate screws should be torqued to 13 in-lbs, and the Trijicon RMR optic screws require a torque of 15 in-lbs, using a calibrated torque wrench like the Wheeler FAT Wrench.

Do I need an adapter plate to install a Trijicon RMR on a Glock 19 MOS?

Yes, if your Glock 19 features the MOS (Modular Optic System) slide, you will need a specific adapter plate designed for the RMR footprint to mount the Trijicon optic correctly. Non-MOS slides require milling.
