Mounting an optic on a Shadow Systems MR920 Elite

[@richkestrel7416]

Excellent "how-to" video. Simple, clear, concise. Very well done! BTW, I think Shadow Systems heard you... the plate cover now has the #10 Torx head, so all screws use the same bit. 👍

[@samfinley1974]

Yeah mine was all uniform as well. I’ll give SS credit they listen and respond quickly!

[@Jasondranoff]

Excuse my ignorance but is there a cover for the battery on the bottom it looks to be an open design with no battery cover? This will be my first optic. Will it be waterproof? Thanks for posting!

[@camking1185]

Curious to know this as well

[@jaason101]

Thanks for the video. Great job going through the process. I just bought a MR920 Elite couple weeks ago and finally ordered a RM06 ( 3.25 moa ) for it. Is it a 1/3rd co witness or full co witness? I hope it is around a 1/3rd co witness. I ordered a blacked out iron front sight from dawson precision. Holosun makes some great optics but i think trijicon is the best. Holosun optics are tough but they are super thick and bulky ( in my opinion ). The solar thing on the top looks cheap and the battery life is like 2 yrs ( thereabouts ) so is that something really needed? LOL sorry I went off on a tanget there but thanks again for the video.

Will you do a review of the Pistol? After you take it to the range.

[@ghostface3469]

Did you see any torque reccomemdations on the mounting screws?

[@Arleys617]

Trijicon says 15

[@jt2475]

Should I use a rmr sealing plate?

[@NickIsenhour]

Keep making more videos man! You are doing good and very informative. I just picked up a MR920 elite last week. Ready to test it out and see if it will be my new carry! Subscribed!

[@KW-ct3sk]

Thanks man, much appreciated. I think you'll be impressed, I've been carrying it daily for a while now and I've got no complaints.

[@NickIsenhour]

Kenny W no problem man! I will be posting an overview video and also a in depth review when I get enough rounds through it. Just waiting on my RMR and light

[@austinjones8314]

Great vid brother

[@digitalsoldierxp9027]

Good video nice and simple

[@camking1185]

Is there a seal kit to water proof it?

[@jbarres80]

Going to install mine today

[@kuzoduno]

So if I buy one of these guns I don’t need suppressor height sights to see my sights clearly because of how low the red dot sight can mount into the slide? Does anyone know I’ve been trying to figure this out

[@5MinuteMajorPenalty]

The sites are 1/3 co-witness on SS. Super nice with an rmr

[@SamvTaylorg]

What holster option did u use for the tier1 holster was it the glock19 and how’s the fit?

[@KW-ct3sk]

I bought an Agis Elite for a gen 4 Glock 19, and yes, no fitment issues. You can see me demonstrate that in my review video.

[@alexuswilliams5426]

will the new RMRcc fit on the Shadow MR920 Elite slide?

[@eugeneward3199]

No

[@pawpawtx]

Snagged the MR920 and a RMRcc ...... don't fit, won't fit, no adapter plates. Thus put the RMRcc on my Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS with the adapter plate from trijicon . RMRcc is nice, as is the RMR-2 that I've been using for a few years . I can live with it. After about 500 rounds of Winchester 115gr White Box it shoots really nice but removing the slide for cleaning is a cluster ...... love the angle of the grip yet not pleased overall . Shadow Systems gave me a replacement trigger and the slide still jams up during takedown ....... MY opinion, EXPERIENCE of the takedown issue is FUBAR.

[@JR-wo3sn]

Its because you're resetting the trigger because you're pulling the slide too far back when doing takedown. Its user error kiddo

[@pawpawtx]

Have an RMR-2 on my Glock 19 so after purchasing my MR920 Shadow Systems Elite I thought I'd try the new trijicon RMRcc ...... it does NOT fit ..... any ideas other than fit of the RMRcc etc ?? The RMRcc holes just DO NOT match up on the MR920 . Has anyone encountered this problem ?

[@donblade5405]

SO IS A RMRcc different than a RMR-2??

[@pawpawtx]

@@donblade5405 Smaller with a different footprint .... RMRcc more compact yet still tough as the RMR 2

[@dmb350]

Is no sealing plate for the RMR needed?

[@KW-ct3sk]

The optic cut is milled flat, and the deepest screw holes under the optic aren't blind, so unless there's some magic voodoo going on I don't know about, you'll still need a sealing plate if you want it to be waterproof.

[@dmb350]

@@KW-ct3sk Thanks for the response. I actually looked it up on SS site and they clearly state to use the sealing plate but it's always good to hear info. direct from a hands on user.

[@monkeycbrown]

Shodow systems did Torque screws because allen screws are garbage, the head strips really easy.

[@AndyK0689]

Suppressor height sights or standard?

[@KW-ct3sk]

The MR920 comes with taller sights from the factory. They aren't as tall as some aftermarket suppressor height sights but since the optic rides so low, they still will 1/3 co-witness just fine. Not the most scientific method, but I measured the front sight height at about .265" with the depth gauge on my bench calipers.

[@RJGuitz]

that thin dove tail groove gives me anxiety

[@texasghost6725]

solemn judgment man up

[@texasghost6725]

I was waiting forever for shadow to release the gun, I ended up getting a staccato p but I’ll be getting one of these soon. They claim it to be the worlds softest shooter, if that’s true and and shoots softer than my sti, I’ll be impressed.

[@anonypersona3189]

I wouldn't say it's a "soft shooter." It's very similar to a Glock 19 but just with better ergos. Your staccato would put it to shame.

[@ethan0145]

I doubt it’s STI soft; but it shoots very, very, flat.

[@nuneystabletopreviews.5928]

I was pissed I paid 960 and there was no tools. Now I have the gun and sight after paying over 1k and having to go to Walmart or whatever store and have to buy tools lol
