Outerimpact Red Dot Adapter/Mount for Springfield XD, XD MOD.2, XD(M), XDS Pistol - M.R.A …

I like that it fits a need. It keeps me from having to mill my slide right of the bat. It also gives me the ability to test run a RDS before making a permanent modification. It is very sturdy once installed. And fits as tight as I like. I wish it was a bit narrower but understand that many RDS are wide and this has to match that.

I searched all around for one of these and couldn't decide on which one I wanted. Glad I got this one after seeing a lot of other nightmare reviews. I also bought a cheap press off amazon to remove the old dovetail and install this one with a micrometer. Worked flawlessly and adapted the unit I wanted. Would do again and prefer to milling for similar price.

I like the quality feel of the product overall however my Wheeler sight tool easily crushed the metal of the part securing the adapter to where the original site was, while I was trying to install it. Now its useless. The Wheeler tool had difficulty removing the original steel sight because it was tight from the manufacturer, so I'm not surprised that the softer metal was ruined. The weapon is a Springfield XD(S) 3.3. I am now out the price of the adapter and have to figure out how to get the mashed metal out of my rear sight. I hope it works for some of you, where the tolerances are a little more forgiving. Now I'm facing a Foredom self-extraction or paying a gunsmith to get me back to square one. I'm giving the adapter 3 stars because it might work for some of you, if it slides in easier. Good luck! BTW - I expect a lot of rant about not using a professional gunsmith in the first place, but this is not my first sight replacement and I used proper tools and techniques. UPDATE: This review was answered by OuterImpact and another dovetail was immediately provided along with instructions and videos on how to sand down the dovetail until it slides in easier. After quite a bit of sanding with 400 grit sandpaper, I was able to achieve a snug pressed-like fit that I was comfortable with. I have no other issues and I am very pleased with the response from OuterImpact, so I have raised this review from 3 to 5 stars. I have also added some pictures.

I gave it a four , if you havent done any sight removal before this is just the adapter piece with the fasteners, that is why it lost a star, you have to improvise getting the correct fittings to screw and tighten them if you dont have an arsenal of tool at your disposal. The dovetail can bend easily becarful when putting it in, you will need a sight tool for the model xdsii do not suggest hammering it in, other than that, it worked really well for my xds 45 there is no instructions so if youre new do some research on how the assembly of this product works. there are multiple slots for various different sights. be safe if you dont kno what you are doing just take it to a gunsmith they would know what to do with just this package

I installed this plate as instructed months ago. I haven’t had any time to shoot over the past several months and just tried it this weekend. Within two shots, the red dot flew off. Luckily my Holsun was not damaged. After inspection, the screws from the red dot to the plate stripped off and one of the dovetail pegs broke. Total waste of time and money. I am buying a DPP titanium plate now.

Great product…works on the Springfield xde model to

Okay this thing is amazing. Really an amazingly engineered piece of hardware. It fits like its a factory option! Milling a Slide runs $200 - $500 with installation of a plate for Red Dots. Yeah. The hardest part of this whole installation was removing the Springfield rear sight. Full confession, I let the Gun Tech at Gander remove mine. It was pretty tight. Watch the installation video's, even the one for sanding for fitting the base slide. Piece of cake to put together the whole thing, with an absolutely fabulous ending. Used a Vortex Viper 6 MOA, screwed right on using the included guide pins, and really nice to get the torque settings before you strip the screws. Don't forget the Loctite for the screws, they only tell you about 5 times. Thanks by the way. The bad thing, I probably will buy a couple of more. This plate is well built, and this price is literally a steal! Buy it, install it, and start knocking down steel plates!

This works very well now it is installed, but I had all kinds of problems doing this. Firstly (despite using the correctly suggested tools) the metal plate that you insert where the iron sights were, firstly lost one of its alignment ins (just fell out) and then bent as I slowly tapped it into place. I did sand down the edges as recommended because it was tight to start, but even this did not prevent it from bending, as it is quite a thin plate. I removed the plate and flattened it. I managed to put the alignment pin back in the hole and because the man sight plate then fits over this and secures with screws, it worked out ok.
