Just received my mounting plate from you guys! My Holosun is TBD on Tuesday. I can't wait to assemble it all! Watching the video early. Thanks for the great walkthrough!
Great video that def helped with install. Precision part that fit perfectly in just a few minutes. I am very pleased with both the engineering and the implementation of this mounting system.
I followed this video last evening on my 5.25 .40. It took me maybe ten minutes total and it was done. My front sight cross pin came out easily, one light tap and the rest of the way with my fingers. For me, the position of the 507c is going to take a little getting used to in comparison with opens, but that will come with use. This mounting plate is made perfectly and when installing it, that becomes obvious.
Thank you. We are learning how to do this video thing to update our product support and if you would like to see anything specific, please let us know.
Right out of the box of the SpringField OSP-2 9mm pistol with the 1500 red dot ?? The tools Don’t fit the screws to remove the plate ?? A bit disappointed or am I missing something??
The OSP has a different slide than the XDm 5.25. I'm not sure what you are asking, but this video is specific to the Xdm 5.25, NOT the OSP-2, per the video description.
Has anyone that has installed this plate on their XDM Elite 5.25 had issues with not being able to adjust the dot elevation down enough to co-witness level? I just installed one on mine with the Holosun 507c x2 and the dot is well above the front sight when moved as low as it will go.
@@SpringerPrecision The 24-hour locktite time was just up and I dialed the 507CX2 in at 25 yards and there was plenty of adjustment for the elevation, so thank you for the advice. I shot a little over 50 rounds and your mounting plate seems to have held up perfectly. I checked the torque on the optic thanks for the advice and it looks like I will not need the shim I ordered after all. The XDM Elite 5.25 with the Springer Precision mounting plate is a perfect combo with the Holosun 507C optic. I cut the center out of my target at 25 yards. A very pleased customer.
I've been trying to get this mount for the burris and has said combination not available at this time. I set it up to notify me when it becomes available but have had no luck. Any idea when it might be available?
Does anyone know if this would fit a 9mm HS SF19 5.25 which is pretty much the XDM elite 5.25? In the EU they sell plates that fit the HS and the XDM but they dont ship outside of the EU
I ordered the mount for the vortex viper (not the fishtail) and y’all sent me the mount for the Burris. Can I return it and y’all send me the fish tail? Have the receipt and all.
@@Astro_Bill i think you mean dovetail, sorry for the confusion. Yes, please visit shop.springerprecision.com/terms-conditions/ and scroll to the bottom for the return info and we can exchange it.
I see a lot of reviews where this mount comes loose after several rounds fired. I understand there is only one mounting screw, but what can be done to secure it 100%? I want a optic mount that is 100% secure. Suggestions?
If you take the time to install it properly, it will not loosen easily. There is a pin in the front that also holds it into place. We can machine an additional hole and custom mount the part in our machine shop, but the vast majority of users do not have an issue with it coming loose.
@@scottspringer5698 "We can machine an additional hole and custom mount the part in our machine shop, ....". The slide has two factory-made holes in it that allow your optic mount to be readily secured into position. One hole accepts a screw, while the other one is for a cross pin. Where is that custom, additional hole located? Is it made to accept another screw or does a second cross pin go through it? Please elaborate. The custom route may be "overkill", but I see nothing wrong with that. If one adheres to the "do-it-yourself" approach, can you provide torque values for all of the screws used here? With the factory rear sight on it, my XDM 5.25 was very reliable, regardless of the cartridge's bullet weight. Is it possible that the weight of the mount/optic could now negatively impact the slide's ability to fully cycle with some ammunition? Will different types then be required to in order to have reliable functioning? Rounds with heavier bullets do tend to generate more recoil than those having lighter ones. In the video, the presenter suggests placing some blue threadlocker between the mount and the optic before securing everything into place. Regardless of the manufacturer, any of these dot sights may unexpectedly fail. How does one go about safely removing the optic if the need to do so ever arises if the threadlocker was applied? Watch the video starting at 0:32, when the presenter begins field stripping the pistol. At around 0:40, he dry fires the pistol right before pulling the slide forward off of the frame. Is it necessary for this to be done? When disassembling my XDM 5.25 for a basic cleaning, I have always left everything in a "cocked" state. Is there anything wrong with my method? Thank you in advance for answering all of my questions. I hope that your answers will be helpful to all of the other Springfield fans out there!

how do you like the setup? I am ordering mine this week
Thank you, good video. Just trying to decide which optic to get.

Thank you for the feedback and kind words.

Excellent video keep them coming I’m going to do this on my X DM thanks

Do you have a video for an xdm 3.8 compact?

I have to say, being pinned on sure seems better than most other sets ups I've seen. I wish it was pinned front and back.
Will this plate fit the Athlon Midas flash optic?
@@anthonysullivan9805 please contact orders@springerprecision.com for customer support. Thank you.
I ordered for my XDm 10mm 5.25 Works great. What about milling on the slide? Do you do that type of work?
The safety system and narrow top of the slide make milling not feasible. We do mill for models where there is enough material to do so.
@@SpringerPrecision Found that after I went to your website. I did however purchase a plate for my XDm 10mm for the Vexon red dot sight. Thank you.
Has the plate been loosing up on you?
@@nickkompinski3390 I took it off and put the original site back on it.
Has anyone that has installed this plate on their XDM Elite 5.25 had issues with not being able to adjust the dot elevation down enough to co-witness level? I just installed one on mine with the Holosun 507c x2 and the dot is well above the front sight when moved as low as it will go.
The dot should not line up with the front sight, as it is higher on the slide. If it lined up with the front sight, it would shoot much too low.
@@SpringerPrecision The 24-hour locktite time was just up and I dialed the 507CX2 in at 25 yards and there was plenty of adjustment for the elevation, so thank you for the advice.

Excellent
What optic plate is that? I've been hunting for one for the same weapon
That is our mount
I've been trying to get this mount for the burris and has said combination not available at this time. I set it up to notify me when it becomes available but have had no luck. Any idea when it might be available?
They are currently at anodizing, so it should be a few more weeks.
@@SpringerPrecision AWESOME! Thank you for the reply.
Hi, does the mount work with Vortex Venon Reddot?
Tks
Yes, we have Venom mounts.
What mounting plate is that, where can you get one and how much do they run ?
That is our mounting plate and you can find it at SpringerPrecision dot com under the Optics Mount for Springfield Armory XDM 5.25 section.
Can rear iron sight still be use if didn’t like the optic setup?
Yes, you would just re-install the rear iron sight.
Does anyone know if this would fit a 9mm HS SF19 5.25 which is pretty much the XDM elite 5.25? In the EU they sell plates that fit the HS and the XDM but they dont ship outside of the EU
Yes
@@SpringerPrecision awesome now I just need to think which sight I want before ordering my baseplate
Does this fit the newest version 5.25 xdm elite?
Yes
@@SpringerPrecision perfect! Thank you for the fast response! I will order one now.
My xdm elite barrel does not look like this
Does this mount fit on the tactical?
You need our dovetail mount for the slides that do not have the built in adjustable rear sight.
I ordered the mount for the vortex viper (not the fishtail) and y’all sent me the mount for the Burris. Can I return it and y’all send me the fish tail? Have the receipt and all.
@@Astro_Bill The Viper uses the Burris mounting pattern, so you have the correct mount.
Can I exchange for fishtail? I have a xdm tactical
@@Astro_Bill i think you mean dovetail, sorry for the confusion. Yes, please visit shop.springerprecision.com/terms-conditions/ and scroll to the bottom for the return info and we can exchange it.
Does this work with 9mm version?
Yes, any of the 5.25's. It is not caliber specific.

@@scottspringer5698 Thank you Scott. Would red lock tite be a possibility if one intended to leave the mount on and never remove it?
Try tig welding it 👍
How has this mount been working for you? Red locker work or did you need to further secure it.

My elite barrel does not look like this
What does it look like? That is a standard 5.25 and factory barrel.
Likewise. Pin hole near rear sights are not on my xdm e slide.
@@123572799 They have 3 slides, one with an adjustable sight, that is the one in the video. One has a rear dovetail sight and one has an optic plate.
@@scottspringer5698 Thanks, Scott. Could you please send me a link? Just not having luck finding such.
Wattttt fucking playe
I have no idea what you are saying.
