Frequently Asked Questions

What footprint does the Cyelee Cat X Pro red dot sight use?

The Cyelee Cat X Pro red dot sight uses an RMSc footprint. This is important to know as it dictates the type of firearms or adapter plates it can be mounted on, similar to other optics like the Holosun 407k or 507k.

Do I need an adapter plate to mount the Cyelee Cat X Pro on a Springfield Hellcat Pro?

Yes, you will need an optic plate adapter, such as one from CHW Precision, to mount the Cyelee Cat X Pro (RMSc footprint) onto a Springfield Hellcat Pro. The Hellcat Pro's factory optic cut is not directly compatible with the RMSc footprint.

What is the recommended torque setting for mounting the Cyelee Cat X Pro on a Hellcat Pro?

The recommended torque setting for mounting the Cyelee Cat X Pro using the provided screws and an adapter plate on a Hellcat Pro is 12 inch-pounds (in-lbs). Using a torque screwdriver is advised for accuracy.

How can I ensure the optic mounting screws do not loosen on the range?

To prevent optic mounting screws from loosening due to recoil, it is recommended to apply a small amount of blue Loctite to the threads before installation. Optionally, a paint marker can be used to draw a line across the screw head and the optic/slide for visual confirmation of tightness.
