Yes, you need to torque and use loctiteDid you install it with a tourqe inch lb screwdriver? Just got my romeo 1 today for the p320
Just noticed I may have an astigmatism in my right eye. I have both red and green dots. The red dot on my Trijicon SRO is a vertically elongated blob, but the green dot on my Holosun SCS is shaped fine. Never noticed a problem until today and hopefully maybe my eye was just being funky today.Since the topic has been brought up:
For those with astigmatism, which pistol red dots have you found to have the most crisp reticle? Has red or green made a difference?
Of the ones I have, the reticle that is most clear, is the Sig Romeo Zero Elite. Awesome reticle, too bad everything else about it sucks. Green has been no better (or worse) than red for me. All dots are more blob shaped that circular to my eyes.
Holosun 507k X2 works for me, and so does Aimpoint PRO. Both red.Since the topic has been brought up:

is exact torque spec really that important? Always just used gudntite and blue loctite seemed fine so far.Yes, you need to torque and use loctite
It is important. You could over tighten and strip screws. CHPWS has a nice video showing how.is exact torque spec really that important? Always just used gudntite and blue loctite seemed fine so far.
Furthermore, some of the torque specs I’ve seen are suspect. My slide uses 4-40 mounting screws. I think a lot of sights are shipping with 6-something screws. If you are going to torque a 4-40 screw to 6-something limits, you are going to have a bad day and learn quickly why not to do that.It is important. You could over tighten and strip screws. CHPWS has a nice video showing how.
My astigmatism presents as a cluster (for reference). Each eye has a different, but similar, effect. I finally gave in a couple months ago and bought a pair of prescription safety/sunglasses. They definitely help; but, sometimes, my eyes need a second to adjust - even through the glasses.Since the topic has been brought up:

arrgh, loctite - not sure. it helps for sure not getting the thing flying into your forehead, but, worst case scenario you will need to drill out those shitty bolts out if you decide to take it all off.Yes, you need to torque and use loctite
That’s why I use plates from CHPWS. I’ve had red dot screws back out. Look at the videos in CHPWS about how to do it right and you will be fine.arrgh, loctite - not sure. it helps for sure not getting the thing flying into your forehead, but, worst case scenario you will need to drill out those shitty bolts out if you decide to take it all off.
especially the bolts on the adapter plate. those 1mm torx holes in those bolts get rounded with almsot 0 effort, as you have an extremely shitty soft chinesium there.
What is "gudntite" ?is exact torque spec really that important? Always just used gudntite and blue loctite seemed fine so far.
Good and tight. Elbow grease. The old fashioned way of just tightening it by handWhat is "gudntite" ?
Turn it till it breaks, or strips out the hole, then back it off a quarter turn - and use RED loctite.is exact torque spec really that important? Always just used gudntite and blue loctite seemed fine so far.
With the exception of a barrel, the need for more than a 3/8 TQ wrench is a bit overkill. BUT I have three full size tool chests full of tools. So as for that. I appreciate the pic!
Seems too pricy as stated. Build your own.This is overpriced but has everything you need. CHPWS Armorer's Kit - C&H Precision Weapons
It is overpriced so take the parts list and source elsewhere.Seems too pricy as stated. Build your own.
That’s one drawer of a rollaway. That one happens to have 1/2 & 3/8 drive torque wrenches in it; I put the twrench in for the pic for grins - and to imply “use the right tool for the job”.With the exception of a barrel, the need for more than a 3/8 TQ wrench is a bit overkill.

Most likely what ever you use will still be a little blurry?So my eyes suck, I am right handed with dominant left eye which has poorer vision than the right. I can barely focus with left eye on the sights. And yes due for a visit to eye doc.
I tend to close left eye and use right and that doesn't work well at all. Using right I see better but not really shoot better.
I would like to explore optics. Are there any videos/websites showing the difference one sees with reflex sights vs iron sights? I don't think I need a scope on a compact frame.
I am interested in home and personal defense distances, not long range target shooting.
Any help or guidance is appreciated. Most off threads I can find are rifle/AR related and really eyesight deficiencies for closer ranges
Would I be better off with a red or green dot and dialing it in?
Or just a simple corrective lens in a set of glasses or “shooting” glasses.OP, after reading your post again. I think the Tactical RX glasses would help your left eye issue. They sell a "almost lens" it's basically an upside down bifocal. You could put the almost lens on the left eye and have a regular bifocal on the right eye. You shoot with both eyes open because the almost lens is set to the front sight 26 inches. They are expensive. I would think the idea of the almost lens could be done by local optometrist.
If they are truely crap screws get upcdates, If not and they strip out they are over torqued of ill fitting tools.arrgh, loctite - not sure. it helps for sure not getting the thing flying into your forehead, but, worst case scenario you will need to drill out those shitty bolts out if you decide to take it all off.
