This is my second mounting plate needed. The first one came at N/C with my XD-M Elite OSP 9MM Tactical Threaded Barrel model but for the XD-M Elite OSP Compact Model I had to purchase it separately. Both work great while using the HEX Dragonfly on both. The first one mounted two years ago has had no issues and recently removed it to change out the battery. Remounting went flawlessly too.
Fits perfectly, My California complaint 4” 9MM XD is not fitted with a full-size red dot, Hex dragonfly.
Fit like a dream and solidly secured the dragonfly.
This review is specific to the Vortex Venom red dot. When you remove the 3 screws that hold the cover plate, be sure to save them!! You will NEED them to attach the plate to the slide. The Venom comes with three 6-48 fasteners to attach the optic to the plate. They are too long!! I had to fill the gap with a bronze split washer from the hardware store. Not a big deal, and nothing the manufacturer can anticipate. I still recommend blue locktite on everything. Keep in mind, thread pitch on gun fasteners are not common. They can be very hard to find! Take your time and don't cross thread, or drop anything! Beyond that, the machining is top notch! Fit and finish are perfect! I am considering a high rise tritium front sight to get a better co-witness .
It’s never been easier to add a Vortex Venom Red Dot Sight to an XD9 . Fits perfectly with the new OSP Slide . No removing rear sights just screw it down and sight it in !
Works great easy to install
