I use thread lock, tighten screws to spec +2 (ex. 15lbs of torque +2 = 17 lbs of torque ) and put witness marks on the screws so I can visually see if they are backing out.
@@SIGP365 when I changed my battery on my romeo zero I didn't use locktight, witness marks, or a measured Allen wrench, and the optic is still on it a year later. not recommending my way but the lazy way seems to work too
Thanks for the tip on removing those stubborn screws. I just got my macro today and I've already got the same holosun and the streamlight tlr-7 sub compact. Hope you are enjoying yours. Take care.
Lol you parrots are so funny, I got the TLR-7 derp derp, such a goofy awkward light, the O light Baldr mini with a laser have only light on or laser on or both and it fits flush and can even move it in behind the barrel. Bo go ahead and be a follower and have that massive goofy light that is round doesn't match up hangs wayy over on a sub compact pistol, all you guys copy a couple TH-camrs and don't even do any looking on YOUR OWN! Now you have a full size 6 pound 10 inch long pistol that says Macro in the name LOL
Picked up the macro last week watched so many vids on best red dot got the 407k x2 instead of the 507 a little cheaper and the dot a little bigger..my 1st red dot can't see shit anymore up close.
Nice video. I took my slide off and put in a vice. That along with my own torx bits gave me a bit more leverage when removing the stubborn screws from the plate.
Does this install the same way on the p365 AXG Legion? Should it all be the same? Those skinny little screws that come with the Holosun should fit it no problem?
Same. Just figuring that out right now. Only can with 2 sets, and no "plates." I've seen where the optics come with different screws based on the firearm as well as plates. I think we got screwed, dude...
Thanks for the video! Super simple and to the point. This was a breeze! Saved me a trip to the store. Worked on my P365X, fit was near perfect. Minimal movement
I understand the limitations involved because of size, but damn it, can't Holosun come out with an enclosed emitter, ACSS reticle in red or green like everyone is waiting for them to make? Just make it the right way and I will buy one.
Very good video. Like the recommendation to push the Holosun forward against ledge while screwing down the back. I didn't do that but will going forward.
Please add a "Donate" button. 82 thousand people viewed this video and if 1% sent a buck your way, you could buy FIXIT sticks and get the proper torque on your optic. I had to chuckle when I thought about busting out my impact driver to install a Holosun. Great vid, thanks.
Weird. I bought the XL but it has the screws on the top like this one, the rest of the gun looks different from this one, minus the night iron sights, but every other XL video has the screws underneath the slide. Screws are stripping like this one, too. Will try to heat the up with something. Thanks
I’m new to handguns. Is it OK to push on the red dot to actuate the slide? in other words, do you think it’s OK to grab the red dot to pull the slide back?
As long as you have it bolted down well to the slide, it shouldn’t be an issue. It’ll stay zeroed as long as it’s properly installed and it’s not a cheap red dot
I had great difficulty using the included skinny screws that came with my 507K. In fact, one of the holes just would not accept it, so I was forced to use the screw that I took off a RomeoZero, and now I think the head is stripped. The torque wrench was set to 15 in lbs, per the manual, but couldn’t get the screw in halfway with it before clicked. So I had to use a screwdriver with allen head. Disappointing! The other hole also would not accept the screw using the torque wrench, so I again had to use a screwdriver with T10 bit. With a lot of struggle, I finally got it screwed all the way in, but again could not use the torque wrench to guarantee 15 in lbs. Very disappointed in Sig for this quality control issue with such an expensive firearm.
I couldn't get 4 holosun 507ks to fit on mine. Always a small gap. No gap on 2 after market slides I have. Sig will not fix or replace and says that it is only for the romeo 0
Lol that sight is going to be doing the moon walk after so many rounds and EDC. 😂😂😂 should have gotten a CR920. Lets see what comes, 1st; rust or loosing your zero.
I can't wait until I get the holes ported in my gold match grade barrel, I barely fit the barrel in there like it was made for a barrel to go a tad further, my gold barrel ends at that piece of metal that splits the holes in the slide, I noticed side by side with the stock barrel it wasn't qwite as toned down but it will when I port the holes in the barrel so you'll be able to look through and see a gold ported barrel through the slot closest to the shooter, the True Match barrels are such AMAZING shooting barrels it's not even funny!!! I added almost a half an inch to the small 3.1 inch barrel so I picked up a tad bit more speed. I have a chrono and Im curious to know the difference! I know there's a measurement where it just drops off, like the .556 AR pistols 10-11 inches is the shortest you want to go and you're still losing a LOT of speed from a 16" barrel!! When you have an 8" barrel in the .556 you'll want to use heavier rounds and tighter rifling to stabilize those rounds. Its losing 400 FPS from 16 inch to 10.5 inch barrel but it drops off dramatically to 820 feet per second at 8 inch from 16 inch barrel in .556! The testing I've done a 5 and 6 inch barrel does the best in these pistol calibers. When you get down to 3 inches you gotta think that bullet is sitting in the breach and that is included in the length of the barrel so 3.1 inch barrel a 9mm when shot is only traveling....hold on going to get the tape I have the stock barrel here, the round is only traveling EXACTLY AND ONLY 2 FRIGGIN INCHES THAT'S ALL YOUR BULLET IS TRAVELING DOWN A 3.1 INCH BARREL. A 9mm NATO FMJ IS EXACTLY 1.1 INCHES IN LENGTH! THAT'S NOT MUCH AT ALL! That is why I added almost a half inch to this X Macro because I wanted better accuracy and more speed out of that 9mm!
I have a Holosun 508T Green dot on my Elite 3.8 in 10mm, but the new Sig Romeo Zero Elite is a lot smaller, lighter and its updated, if they have a green 507 or whatever in green on Friday then I might get it, the X Macro is a but heavier because of all the rounds it holds so I may go with the Sig optic, I like their new cover they have with it

The screws holding the plate down are torx bits, size T-10 if anyone is wondering.
Had no trouble at all with the torx bit
I HATE TORX BIT FASTENERS😡
Your amazing thank you
I use thread lock, tighten screws to spec +2 (ex. 15lbs of torque +2 = 17 lbs of torque ) and put witness marks on the screws so I can visually see if they are backing out.
Good job, you installed your red dot professionally sir. I would never install a red dot without the proper torque and doing witness marks.

What bit size u use bro
@@elzero4700 ...T8
Probably would keep a thin film of oil in the cut in order to maintain some amount of corrosion resistance.
Very helpful & spot on. My Holsun 507K X2 went right on without an issue and is seated perfectly. No issues at all.
Mine also, but the front sockets on the Holosun have no posts to match up to. Edit: they’re referred to as recoil lugs.
How is your co witness ? in the video it seems you can barely see the front sights over the red dot rear sights

So no additional tool needed? Cause the directions say “tighten to 15 INCH/lbs”
You can use a torque wrench if you want, I didn't and its been just fine, 700-800rds and no issues

Holosun's are great love mine, but that Sig Romeo Elite is a lot better and smaller, people just like to be parrots and copy TH-camrs
@@miketyson8933Parrots don't like to remove the sight to change the battery......weird.
why tf do they tighten the fucking screws that tight its bs!!!!
You need a torque wrench
Thanks so much for this video,I had put my RDS on my light rail and was wondering why it wasn’t working.
Anything for you sweetheart
Nice video. I took my slide off and put in a vice. That along with my own torx bits gave me a bit more leverage when removing the stubborn screws from the plate.
Includes tool is not right sized. I took mine to a gunsmith to remove them.
Nice that it doesn’t need a plate
Got it. Thanks.
Does this install the same way on the p365 AXG Legion? Should it all be the same?
Those skinny little screws that come with the Holosun should fit it no problem?
i want to buy this gun but it not having the recoil lugs that go into optic kinda turns me off
I was wondering about that.
Great video thanks! I just installed mine on my sig 365xl. Thanks for the tip on using the smaller set of screws that the Holosun’s came with.
I see yours doesn't lay on the optic cut quite flush either.
My 507k-x2 did not come with the right screws. What’s my course of action?
Same. Just figuring that out right now. Only can with 2 sets, and no "plates." I've seen where the optics come with different screws based on the firearm as well as plates. I think we got screwed, dude...
I emailed Holosun with my make and model (P365 XMACRO) and they sent the right screw to me for free ( 1 week)
Life is hard
Thanks for the video! Super simple and to the point. This was a breeze!
Saved me a trip to the store.
Worked on my P365X, fit was near perfect. Minimal movement
I understand the limitations involved because of size, but damn it, can't Holosun come out with an enclosed emitter, ACSS reticle in red or green like everyone is waiting for them to make?
Just make it the right way and I will buy one.
Maybe we will get lucky at show show 2024 and they will come out with one!
Is it a full cowitness?
Thanks guy
Good to see you posting again.
Very good video. Like the recommendation to push the Holosun forward against ledge while screwing down the back. I didn't do that but will going forward.
Yeah its ran well every since and holds zero well, no issues!
Love the video, it is very in detail. I wonder if you are willing to test my product too, How can I contact you?
My red dot wont turn on even if I pressed the +,- buttons. Please help.
Thats odd, check to make sure the battery is in the right way. I made that mistake once! Otherwise call and see what holosun can do.

This is the Macro, not the XL
Nice man
Does it co-witness? I couldn't tell with the footage.
It does co-witness
But like a lower 1/3
Where can I purchase some screws for this macro slide to mount the eps Carry on it ? Thanks in advance guys
QVO tactical sells the eps carry screws for $7.
So the 507k fits the xmacro without plates or mods?????
Yes but not the 507c

@@harrisonclark4382 absolutely brother! Hope ya enjoy the 365/holosun and you decide to stick around here😎
Great short video 😁👍🏼
I would've gotten the 507k, but I bought my macro with the sig red dot already on it. Thanks for the info.
@@STACADA23 because i wanted to check it the holosun, and which one for my pistol!
Should i use my own lock tight or is the lock-tight on the screws from the factory sufficient
Id use your own blue lock tight with it also
The screws are too long for my x macro?
Mine feel the same way! It feels like the screw is going to break before it hits flush and I don't want to have them snap.
@@Misanthrope5150 I returned it and bought the new Romeo
Thanks for the help.
will 507c work on this?
I think that might be a hair too big?
I was told I needed an adapter plate. Glad I don’t have to!
You’d need an adapter plate for a larger red dot like an rmr. But the 507k is a smaller footprint
You do for the 507c
Doesn't co witness
Yes it does
Would you know if the HS507C would fit on the x macro?
Don’t believe so. I think it has a larger footprint. More like the Trijicon rmr
No it hangs over
Why
Some people like to watch a video rather than read instructions
No plate?
No plate needed for the 407k pattern
@@themosindude7925 yup, just bought mine. Amazing product 5-5

I tape my little screws to the underside of the slide and squeeze it under the egg carten felt in the gun case along with the spare batteries.
