![]() The omission of a mounting plate also lowers the optic closer to the slide. ![]() This makes the package more compact, more durable, and maybe most importantly, it allows the co-witnessing of the stock sights. Having my Hellcat RDP U-Dot sights as a back-up probably won’t be necessary, but it does make me feel more secure. The HEX Wasp has a short, succinct and well-written manual that is worth the read. One of the most important details included is the torque specifications for the Wasp’s mounting screws. Torque is a measurement of how much energy is used to tighten a fastener. Too loose, and your optic won’t stay mounted firmly. Too tight, and you will damage the screws, the threaded holes, or both. In the case of the HEX Wasp, the number is 15 inch-pounds. To measure the torque on small screws for mounting optics, I use a Wheeler F.A.T. This makes precisely measuring the torque very easy, and well worth the expense of the wrench. The WhereĪlthough Mounting the HEX Wasp on a Springfield makes a ton of sense, it isn’t your only option. The HEX Wasp is designed using the Springfield Micro Footprint (Shield RMSc-compatible). So, if you are looking to mount up the Wasp directly to the slide, you will need to have a Springfield Micro or Shield RMSc cut. A battery should last years in normal use. Nevertheless, I swap one out when I set my clocks for daylight saving time to keep Mr. Murphy at bay.įortunately, this format is becoming more and more common and widely accepted these days for small red dot optics on a carry gun. #SKYRIM SPECIAL EDITION HEX FIEND ARMORY MOD MANUAL#Ĭheck your optics-ready handguns manual for the specs on its optics cut, or check with your machinist to ensure they can replicate the necessary cut. Keep in mind that screw diameter, thread count, pitch and length all matter. Make sure that you have the right hardware to mount your HEX Wasp and always function-check your pistol before going live. If your pistol is cut for a different footprint, you may still be able to mount up a Wasp. You may be able to find a mounting plate to convert your pistol’s optics cut to a Springfield Micro footprint. If your gun isn’t cut for an optic and you want to give red dots a try, consider sliding a mounting plate into the rear sight dovetail. This can be a good way to try out the Red Dot Life to see if it’s for you without permanently modifying your pistol. I think of these plates as an easily reversible step on the way to a permanent solution. I don’t recommend a dovetail plate for serious use. ![]()
