rubrtoe's Review of Holosun RML Rail Mounted Compact Laser Sight
I was trying to get a rail mounted laser that works, having failed twice with 2 other products when I bought the Holosun RML green laser from not Optics Planet
I easily mounted it and adjusted the beam to my iron sights. But there were a few related anomaly when doing that:
#1 the detailed instructions said the battery was all ready installed, but it wasn't.
#2 when I installed it and tried to screw the cap back on, it was very difficult to
line the threads up properly and screw it on.
#3 when I finally thought I had it threaded in over the battery, it never stopped
turning, like happens when threads are stripped.
#4 So a couple days later I took it to the range and the first time I shot it, the cap
fell off and the battery came out.
#5 I spent a half hour at the range trying to screw the cap back on straight and
tight WITHOUT a battery installed and could not because even though it
looked flat with the laser body and tight, every time I let go of it, it
fell back off.
Update:I finally got the cap on securely although it is really difficult every time and then the battery ran down right away when I wasn't using it! Apparently this thing uses juice even when it is off and there are several reviews of it at other sites attesting to this flaw.
It also will not mount remotely close to the front of the trigger Gaurd of a Glock mid to full size pistol without modifying it in the mount area by nothing the mount down to the body and out nearly to the mount screw and bolt hole. Also you have to file down flat on the rail side one of the adapter plates that goes between your glock and the sight in order to mount this sight close enough so you can reach forward with your trigger finger and reach it and activate it. But that's not all! it has a ridge around the activator buttons that make it difficult to push on that you need to file down in order to activate it with some ease and I notices recently even after doing that, it's started becoming more difficult to activate all ready!
