This guide details the installation of a Trijicon RMR optic onto a Glock MOS (Modular Optic System) equipped pistol. It covers the importance of optic selection, the benefits of green reticles, and the step-by-step process of mounting the RMR using an adapter plate, emphasizing the critical use of Loctite and proper torque for secure installation. The video also touches on the need for suppressor height sights when using low-profile optics like the RMR on MOS systems.

Quick Summary

Installing a Trijicon RMR on a Glock MOS pistol involves removing the factory plate, using an adapter plate, and securing the RMR with screws treated with blue Loctite. Proper torque (8-12 in-lbs) is crucial. Due to the optic's low profile, suppressor height sights are often required for co-witnessing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you install a Trijicon RMR on a Glock MOS pistol?

To install a Trijicon RMR on a Glock MOS pistol, first ensure the firearm is unloaded. Remove the factory MOS plate, install an appropriate adapter plate (like the Glock Store C-Plate), and then mount the RMR using screws with blue Loctite. Proper torque is essential for a secure fit.

What are the benefits of a green Trijicon RMR compared to a red one?

The green Trijicon RMR offers a reticle color that many shooters find brighter and easier to acquire, especially in certain lighting conditions. While the RMR is known for ruggedness, the green option provides an alternative for visual preference and potentially faster target acquisition.

Do I need special sights for a Trijicon RMR on a Glock MOS?

Yes, when mounting a low-profile optic like the Trijicon RMR on a Glock MOS system, you typically cannot co-witness with standard iron sights. Suppressor height sights are recommended to allow you to look through the optic and align with your iron sights if needed.

What is the recommended torque for mounting an RMR on a Glock MOS?

While specific torque values can vary by manufacturer, the video suggests a range of 8 to 12 inch-pounds for mounting screws when installing an RMR on a Glock MOS system. Using a torque wrench is recommended for accuracy and to prevent damage.
