Mill for EPS (K footprint) or RMR and use RMR to EPS Plate

[Ron Swanson]

Having a hard time deciding on if i should have a glock milled direct for an EPS or have it done for a RMR and then using the EPS plate in case I change my mind about the EPS.

The places I want to do the slide work also don't seem to offer a MOS cut, so that isn't an option, but seems like a lot of RMR to ACRO/K/Deltapoint should i decide to try any of those.

What input can anyone offer?

i can buy 2 eps optics for the price of 1 rmr, with negligible performance differences. if you only ever going to buy 1 and done though, go rmr.

they also make pre cut slides directly in RMR footprint for the same price as a mill if you just trynna try it out. rmr is a harder ask for me when im trynna put optics on 5+ firearms

I do have 2 guns with RMRs on them, decided to sell off one of the RMR's, and I got an SCS MOS in a sale that I ended up liking the circle dot, but not liking the green. Already bought an EPS MRS in red to try, just need to decide on what to put it on. But yeah, putting a RMR on everything is a little more than I want to spend.

The RMR I want to sell is coming off a zev post gun so there isn't any adapter for that to the K print yet, and the other RMR, i just don't want to take that one off.

If you want the EPS, then get it milled for the EPS. They are great optics and I don't think you will be disappointed. The RMR cut is, however, more universal. If you aren't sure what you want then that is the direction I would go. I don't particularly care for the RMR itself, but there are plenty of other great optics from Holosun (507 Comp) etc that use the same foot print.

Yeah not being sure of wanting it in the long run is where I am at. Leaning toward RMR cut, as of right now ID stick to RMR or holosuns, the 508t which would be my other non RMR choice for the red circle dot would fit on an RMR cut.

I would pick the EPS over the 508T. I have both (my EPS is the Carry), and am actually looking to get rid of the 508T. The titanium doesn't really add anything to these optics and the finish is not holding up as well along the edges. The window isn't that large and has a fair amount of distortion/fish eye around the edge. The EPS is much clearer and the enclosed emitter makes cleaning the glass and keeping lint etc out so much easier.

Thanks for the insight. Makes me lean toward milling for the EPS since I have RMR guns.

Plates are just another set of screws to worry about coming loose. Direct mill would be my preference.
