GLOCK 17MOS Gen 5 with RMR...…..what nobody tells you is needed.

[@davidcunningham7330]

THANK you for showing proper gun safety. You didn't make a "big" thing about it - it seemed natural and something you normally do. But for everyone it should be a "BIG" thing. ALWAYS proper gun safety - regardless.

[@rexdaledave]

Thank you Always assume a firearm is loaded until you prove it is not.

I add “best line” oil treatment to all of my guns once every 500-600 round clean up. It works pretty well. My first Glock is G17 Gen 5 and so far I love it. 100 percent reliable.

Glock 19 & 17 Gen 5 is Amazing in the world

[@rtaggs8178]

I'm sticking with Night Fision sights. I have seen one local cop with that optics setup. The departments are fairly easy going with add ons for their officers.

[@johncalhoun6538]

Hello, So if I go with the holosun 508T which is the one I’ve been looking at, use the #2 plate that came with the pistol?, that’s all I need correct?

[@nemzdroidx]

Should always present screws by hand then torque. If you torque one with the other out may not sit properly.

[@rexdaledave]

thank you for the tip always appreciate it

[@tylerhall6455]

yep

[@KanesTrades]

I'm putting together the same gun for competition but with the C&H Precision plate (rear-sight-forward version) that kills the rear and back gaps and has extra/better posts to take the sheer stress off the screws; the newly released Holosun HS507C-X2 with the ACSS Vulcan Reticle (a very innovative red dot - worth a look); and the newly released Timney Alpha trigger which also looks amazing. ..I can't wait to beat a few of the comp guys who poo poo on Glocks as a competition gun! ..and no, I'm not trying to advertise these products! - they just look great from what I've seen and heard.

[@rexdaledave]

i am extremely happy with my Holosun's and actually put a 507 on my GLock over the RMR now. I haven't tried the ACSS reticle yet, but will try to get my hands on one.

[@KanesTrades]

@@rexdaledave yeah I've been very happy with Holosun - I currently have one on my 12G shotgun (the Eotec one - I think it's a 508?) and another on my .22LR lever rifle and have nothing but good things to say about them. That said, I'd love to try out the RMR's and especially the Trijicon SRO for competition ..they're just soo pricey when compared with what you get from Holosun! Why did you end up going with the Holosun over the RMR for your Glock (just curious).

[@rexdaledave]

@@KanesTrades I had the EOTech version, 510 Elite with the Green Dot and i loved it. I only sold it because we can not use our AR's anymore. The RMR i have is the Fiber Optic one with 9 MOA dot. it works great but i find the dot is too big for target shooting at 10m. I prefer the 2 MOA dot of my holosun. Plus the F/O RMR is based on ambient light so it works great when i shoot outdoors, but my indoor club has terrible lighting so the dot is not as bright as i'd like. I suspect the RMR Type 2 models would be perfect but like you said, they are too pricey.

Thanks Andrew. I just looked it up This looks like a great option

[@stevew7762]

Nice review. Just a little advice, never loosen screws with your torque wrench.

[@rexdaledave]

seriously? thank you for the tip. Why is that though?

[@stevew7762]

@@rexdaledave torque wrenches are calibrated and by design are only used for tightening. You can damage the calibration and make them not accurate by loosing nuts or bolts with them. I speak from experience because i have used them for 35 years. Even under normal use you should have the calibration checked every few years.👍🇺🇸

[@rexdaledave]

your night sights will be useless when you install RMR. should have gotten supressor height sights

[@deedle6073]

You should also coat a thin layer of dielectric grease around the plate where it meets the o-rings.

[@WolfWhiteTG]

Great job Bak Dur....

[@undercovercop2000]

I was under the assumption that using torque wrenches to unscrew was a big no-no.

[@rexdaledave]

yeah a few people have told me this (NOW) as well. I no longer use them to unscrew lol

[@MVDaniels87]

I’ve never seen a comment section where the majority of the questions were answered in the video. Lol.

I don’t blame them. It’s painful to sit through one of my videos. Thanks for watching

[@vtxdaryl]

You said you haven’t noticed any difference in the barrels but then you said you haven’t shot it yet. How can you compare barrels if you didn’t shoot the Gen. 5? Did I miss something?

[@rexdaledave]

I shot my buddies Gen 5 before I bought mine......his was regular version and this one is the MOS version but both are the G17

[@joemedic710]

Nice review!

[@philiplucky7170]

so if you dont have batteries in your RMR why did you have to use the Trijicon base plate, and did you use any lock tight?

[@rexdaledave]

the RMR i have still has an open bottom with an exposed weather seal. i guess i didn't have to use the plate now that you point it out :) the screws had a dab of loctite already on them.

[@AngelSalinas575]

You should have gone with the CHPWS v4 mos plate instead.

Why do the glock 17 has the 2 screws at the top? My glock 17 gen 5 doesn't have that?

This is the M.O.S. model. It has the slide milled for mounting optics directly into the slide.

[@w.r.ongjr9825]

Hey man, is the extractor visible if you look into that right-side screw hole on the slide?

No it isn't the screw hole is more central slide where as the extractor spring channel is more towards the wall of the slide. hope that helps :)

Bak Dur that was fast lol thank you

[@timewing4611]

Why didn’t you go with suppressor height sights

[@rexdaledave]

I wanted to keep the option of running ipsc production with normal sights and production optic with the red dot. Plus I wasn’t sure if I’d like seeing the sights through the optic window. I was worried i would focus on the front sight and not the red dot lol

[@timewing4611]

@@rexdaledave gotcha. I haven’t noticed my suppressor sights messing up seeing the dot. I just think it’s a good option to have so if the dot fails you have back up. But then again if this isn’t a carry or defense weapon then it doesn’t make a difference

[@Jrekt]

Should I get a 17 or 19 MOS Gen 5, I’m in Canada as well.

[@rexdaledave]

unless you have small hands, I'd say go with the 17. The 19 is a great carry guy which we can not do in Canada. I think for target shooting or IPSC the 17 is a better choice. Or you can look at the 19x which is the 19 frame with the 17 slide/barrel. You get the advantages of the smaller frame with the accuracy of a longer barrel and increased sight radius..........but that doesn't come in MOS configuration

[@Jari_Kuusisto]

@@rexdaledave : It's otherway around, 17 frame 19 slide....

[@rexdaledave]

Jari Kuusisto lol. Yeah that’s right. I screwed up

[@tylerhall6455]

@@rexdaledave Shouldn't matter size of hands. They both are the same thickness. It comes down to how long the slide and grip are. G19 grip is plenty long enough for larger hands, so once again its just size for rd capacity and easier accuracy cuz the 17 has a longer slide. Both are excellent. G19 is the most popular handgun in the usa. I have owned one for years. Looking at getting a g17 now for a shtf side arm. I own about 7 or 8 glocks now lol but no g17 surprisingly.

[@stevew7762]

How do you like the 17 with the rmr on it. I run a 34 gen 5 with an rmr and suppressor hight sights for co witness, love it. May get a 17 gen 5 mos or CZ p10c optics ready and give the 507c a try. I find pistol red dots great for my aging eyes. If possible how about a range review, i would be interested in your thoughts. I still run iron sights on my edc but that is going to change at some point. My main edc is a 17 gen 4 iron sights...Trijicon HD's.

[@rexdaledave]

i really enjoy the 17 and big 9 moa dot of the RMR. i got it out to the range yesterday so i have some footage to upload soon. i compared it to the M&P COre and as much as i like my M&P 2.0........the glock MOS is better then the M&P Core.

How is the optic sitting lower going to have anything to do with the recoil ??? And that would be alpha charlie not cobra.

[@rexdaledave]

from what i've seen other people say, the lower the optic sits, the better the balance/center of gravity.....so it has less muzzle rise. Not sure if it's huge difference or even noticeable.

Those Glock plates are not great at all. I ordered the C&H precision one for mine.

[@jameshutton2587]

You might want to send that back to C&H, the one from Forward Controls Design is a much better made from steel fits tight plate $ 68.00 and you do not need the sealing plate!! Check them out on the web.

[@GhettoCountry]

@@jameshutton2587 The C&H plate is good. It is lighter than FCD plate. You just have to be careful not to over torque with the aluminum. The plate I received was a hair big and I filed it down to fit so its super snug. Also with the C&H plate you do not need the sealing plate for RMR. The plate is wider than the stock Glock MOS plate eliminating the seal plate.

That's great,the back straps 'incorporated' a beaver tail, so the word ''include" is now deemed as profane as the word "buy." I'm glad I'm this old.

The plate to attach it is separate. Trijicon RMR sealing plate (part RM63) is recommended to keep water/dust out. Look it up. Or just watch the whole video before trying to sound smart
