Okay. I was able to track down a spare slide on eBay for the XD-E. I shipped it off today to "Gun Cuts LLC" in Thornton, CO. It is getting milled for a Shield/RMS-c footprint and cerakoted in black. I will be putting a Holosun 507K for a red dot. The sights are compatible with all XDs, I think. So depending on how low the sight sits will determine if I need tall sights.

On a side note I also sent off a S&W CSX slide to Vulcan Machine Werks; Gun Cuts won't do work on Smith's due to something about metallurgy(?). It is getting the same RMS-c service. The CSX has proven to be a problem child so it will not get the fancy dot. Probably a Riton or a Sig Zero.

Is the 507k compatible with RMSc. I thought it was RMS which is slightly different, or is that the 407K. The Holosun K footprint does not marry up with the RMSc cut regardless of some sources that say it does.

Holosun K Series vs Shield RMSc Footprint - All You Need to Know

Pistol optics can be confusing. And one of the more confusing things is understanding the Holosun K Series footprint vs the Shield RMSc footprint. This article is going to make it crystal clear so keep reading. We call the Holosun K Series footprint a "Modified RMSc footprint" because it's very...

Gracias, good read. If I need a plate, I'm okay with that. In the milling process, which I am not a fabricator or have operated any milling machinery, I believe that they will be leaving indexing bosses. This may require the use of a plate/adapter raising the height of the sight. Not preferred but manageable. I see that the Holosun has no rear bosses and a common theme is to remove these on pistols that have them. I will probably go with a plate. I used it on my 43x MOS and it wasn't enough to matter. To me.

I came across this recently with my Gen 2 Archon Type B and the Daniel Defense H9, both is which claim to use the RMSc footprint. The H9 does with the rear bosses and the Archon uses the K footprint. Fortunately the Archon is direct mount and allowed me to cowitness with the standard iron sights using a Holosun EPS. The H9 wouldn’t take any of the Holosun Ks, but it uses a plate and a 3rd party company just brought out a RMS/K plate for the H9. It was all pretty confusing.
 
Just got the tracking number. My XD-E slide is on its way back from getting milled for a dot. I already have a Holosun 507K-x2 ready to be mounted. I didn't go flashy on the cerakote, graphite black ;).

Now I need to track down some suppressor height sights to complete this tactical nightmare that I will love and adore. Until CZ releases their P-05 and P-03 pistols.

Fingers crossed...
 
Slide is here. Looks great, the cerakote turned out to have been worth the expense. Gun Cuts did reinstall the sights. After setting the 507k on it I couldnt see the irons.

I ordered a set of XS sights for my XD. Tritium front with black rear. Supposedly a lower 1/3rd view. We'll see. Going to put my set of TFO TRU-GLO's on my original slide.

Hey!, watch that. Am 6-7, 240, and maybe not the best looking.! Saying I am like either an insect or a small firearm is insulting! Now if you want to compare me to a Colt Python (old model) or the like, OK…
 
Okay. The sights came in. Since I had the too short TFO sights along with the XS sights and two slides. Well...

Both slides have their original barrel and RSA. I just hadn't cleaned the second one until today.... 😬
Now a trip to the range is in order to verify that my sights are actually going to work and that my ability to mount a dot is sufficient.
 
This took way, way, waaaaaaaaaay to long to get to the range. I guess I am being lax as I have my Itty bitty red dotted CSX. The wait was worth it though.

This was at 15 yards. Horizontally it was good. I moved it 8 clicks left and it's sunshine.

Irons need to be fine tuned though. I'm a good 1-1.5"'s left. I'm 2"'s high but nothing I can/want to do about that.

I'm going to save that until I can have both slides, dot and no-dot and run/zero both since it will be a sight pusher day.😑
