Holosun K Series Footprint VS RMSc

Mounting Holes -While both footprints might seem similar at first glance, the Holosun K Series footprint features a distinct design in its mounting holes, setting it apart from the RMSc. The recoil lug positions on the K footprint are distinct, and the mount is secured by index post pins.

Recoil Lug Positions -The Holosun K Series footprint's recoil lug positions are uniquely designed, offering a different mounting experience compared to the RMSc. The Holosun K Series footprint has two in the front only with shallower recoil lug recesses

Appearance vs. Functionality - Beyond mere aesthetics, the functional differences between the two are paramount. The Holosun "K" Series footprint, in particular, offers certain advantages that the RMSc doesn't.

Common FAQ

Common Misconceptions

Some users think the Holosun K Series and RMSc footprints are interchangeable. This misconception has led many to make uninformed purchases, only to realize the differences when it's too late.

Do I Have To Modify The Slide Cut?

Here's the deal: the Holosun K Series footprint and the RMSc footprint are almost twins, but not quite. The Holosun K series has these front index posts and two rear index posts that are a bit shallower.

So, what can you do? You can smooth out the back recoil lugs to make them fit the slide better. And for the front lugs? Adjust them so they're just right for the Holosun K series footprint optic. Remember, it's all about getting that perfect fit!

Can Holosun EPS Carry Fit On RMSc Optic Cut?

Yes, it can fit on handgun slides made for the RMSc footprint. You need the adapter plate that comes with the Holosun EPS Carry.

This plate mates to the RMSc footprint for a strong mount, and then you place the optic on it. But without the adapter, it won't work.
