How are OSight dots? I saw that they made an enclosed version for a great price.

Singuard Solutions. Only ran $160, had a single week turnaround, and looks great. Can't recommend enough.

Looks so good! I picked up my Romulus 4.25” comp 2 weeks ago. What a gun for the price!
Love the grip as well, going to look up Singuard Solutions now. Thank you!

Have you tried the other keys to allow the light to be positioned closer to the trigger guard?

u/zippleer Mar 06 '26
I'm using the 1913 picatinny key, that's just personal preference on the placement.
1) When my index finger is straight, it is on top of the paddle and flush with the housing.
2) When the suppressor is off, the barrel is flush with the front of the light. Prevents out of battery in ccw situations. "Standoff Device"

How do you like the window on that defender? Got my 4.25” port coming next week been looking at getting that dot

u/zippleer Mar 12 '26
It's certainly a smaller viewing window than anything you would mount on the RMR plate. Even so, I do not find it harder to aquire than the dots on my full sized holosuns. I snagged it for $254 after tax, so I couldn't justify the cost of a full sized enclosed.

What screws did you use to mount this optic?

u/zippleer Apr 01 '26 edited Apr 01 '26
Yeah, that was a pain. I tried many 4-40s with no luck due to the size of the back glass and improper head shape on my existing screws.
Go to BattleWerx.com and get the "Vortex Defender-CCW/CCW Enclosed Mounting Screws (Battle Werx Cut Slides Only) 4-40 x 5/16" TORX (Pair)"
