Walter, I wanted to thank you for this comment.. I can confirm that this is the correct thread pattern and depth from Home Depot. Although the screw heads will not sit flush as the OEM RomeoZ screws do, for me, they happen to sit perfectly to the side of (and slightly above) the OEM Hellcat iron sight. I feel like it narrows down the field of view favorably and seems to help my eye acquire target even more quickly. Two pillars now arise slightly, with a red dot between them and the meniscus of the iron sight makes acquisition the easiest of all of my handgun setups. I now feel completely satisfied with this setup whereas I nearly returned the Romeo because of all of this. Thanks to both of you for the directions!
@@walth5336 Oh yessir! I couldn't agree more. I actually picked up some flush m4 .7x10mm screws from Cal Ranch today. I am planning on range days both ways and seeing if acquisition is better without flush screws (as I think it will be, I guess).
Yeah it's quick and easy, especially if you don't have a broken hand! I tried shooting it lefty one handed, that didn't work out too good. Hahh. Red dot looks good tho.
Finally got some rounds through this setup. I think it's gonna work good, I just need a bit more time with it to get fully dialed in. th-cam.com/video/LTxGng_a4Mw/w-d-xo.html
Nice. I like the 13's. I see you're a Clone Wars fan. Great show. I used to work as a lead artist at Lucas and got to see a lot of the makings of that show. Checkout our SW short film BLUE on my channel and let me know what ya think.
@@FPdesignfab Correct. I'm a big Ahsoka fan. So glad to see her in The Mandalorian. I couldn't find the Blue film on your channel, but there's a lot of 'making of Blue' videos. I found Blue on the MegalithicEnt channel. Very well done. The kids are great! The costumes are fantastic, especially Boba Fett. It was like seeing him right out of the movies. Great job!
@@TheRumblewagon Thanks man! Yeah I linked it to my other channel MegalithicEnt. I made it fast and cheap with a couple kids in my neighborhood. It was on SW dot com for a few months.Thx for checkin it out.
The 3M isn't enough to fill this gap. You can see daylight. Best comment award goes to the person who put the SKU for the exact screw you can use from Home Depot. Ez pz gg.
So I put this on my Hellcat but there's a gap There's also 2 nubs on the slide as well. I was told to file them off Are there not adapter plates for the Zero? Worse comes to worse I'll get a Swampfox Sentinel and put the zero on something else
I only filed down the screws. You shouldn't need to file nubs on slide. Nubs should snug up under the zero. If there's still a gap I'd file down the screws more. Mine had a gap on first mount, I filed screws another 64th or 32nd and it mounted down tight.
Yeah I probably would've preferred a Holosun, but the zero was available, less expensive and works fine. I like SIG product. Wanted a 365xl but got tired of waiting so I grabbed a Hellcat.
Haha I appreciate the effort man I know exactly what this feels like.
Broken limbs will not stop me from enjoying some good ol craftsmanship! 👍
I just shaved 2 threads,, worked like a charm
Thank you for the clarity lol.
Great vid
You can go to Home Depot and get a set of their sku 574128. Model 803218.
Nice. Good to know. Would've been easier but taken longer to go to the store and back.

@@goofballbiscuits3647 yes they sit on top, but I find that it helps “center” the view for me personally

@@walth5336 and thank you again.
Thank You for this!
Thanks , I've got to do this myself.

Thanks FPDesignfab!
You're welcome, hope it helps.
Glock 43x is the same issue. People had extractor issues with theirs for putting the screw in all the way without grinding the screw
why doesn't Romeo have the right size screws for the hellcat
Just ordered some 15 round mags for my Hellcat.

From?
@@Gym_diarie Springfield Armory.
Damn dude your hand is making ME hurt! I had a TFCC repair done about 10 hrs ago and it wasn’t bad…but I didn’t get pins either…
Yeah its been a real drag trying to get things done with one hand. Got pins out now gotta rehab.
Nice, work to make it work. But out of curiosity would a couple of washers help?
I don't think so, not for me. Maybe someone else could make that work for them.
Did you put the thin 3m paper it came with under the red dot?
Nope. Mine didn't come with any kind of shim.
The 3M isn't enough to fill this gap. You can see daylight. Best comment award goes to the person who put the SKU for the exact screw you can use from Home Depot. Ez pz gg.
is this only with the romeo zero or do all micro red dots have to have screws shaved down?
It's probably different with each manufacturer. The HEX WASP may be a good choice. I think it bolts right on and sits low to co-witness.
So I put this on my Hellcat but there's a gap
There's also 2 nubs on the slide as well. I was told to file them off
Are there not adapter plates for the Zero? Worse comes to worse I'll get a Swampfox Sentinel and put the zero on something else

also bevel the edge of screws a bit. the threaded hole is cupped or beveled in the bottom not 90
I ground my screws mounted the sight looked good but it comes up in the front if I pull on it????
Might need to grind them a bit shorter if they're snug and it still moves.
@@FPdesignfab thanks I'll try that
Can't believe I didn't think of that, thanks brother, ground a little more, fits like a glove
Oh no you used standard to measure! I’m lost! Lmao I hate std! Always used metric it’s just easier…lol good vid
Hah yeah I'm used to transferring my metric readouts to standard in inches
Not as good as the holosun 507k or 407k. Only thing I hate about the holosun is you do have to modify or buy the plate
Yeah I probably would've preferred a Holosun, but the zero was available, less expensive and works fine. I like SIG product. Wanted a 365xl but got tired of waiting so I grabbed a Hellcat.
