Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications were made to the Glock 48 MOS in the video?

The Glock 48 MOS received an Apex Trigger shoe for a flatter pull, the magazine release was reversed for left-handed use, and a Holosun EPS Carry red dot sight was installed using a Calculated Kinetics mounting plate.

How does the Holosun EPS Carry perform on a Glock 48?

The presenter found the Holosun EPS Carry performed well, with surprisingly easy dot acquisition from a draw. While the dot can leave the window with hotter ammo, it quickly returns when focusing on the target point.

The process involves removing the MOS cover plate, installing the Calculated Kinetics plate, then the optic, secured by two screws. Using witness marks and blue Loctite on the screws is advised to prevent loosening.
