Excellent replacement for for standard low profile mount - Trijicon RMR/SRO Low Mount w/ Trijicon Q-LOC Technology

I wish I knew about this mount prior to buying the RMR/low profile mount (RM33) combo. I would have just ordered the naked RMR plus this mount and saved some money. This mount is a huge improvement. It is very high quality, as one would expect from Trijicon.

The huge advantage of this mount is the quick and tool-less release and being able to maintain zero. The standard RM33 mount is slow to attach and remove, requires tools and requires re-zero. This is a much better mount for use for a primary sight on a shotgun or other firearms that require a low profile mount.

The only potential disadvantages this mount has is that it is 4mm taller than the standard Trijicon low profile mount and somewhat more bulky, which may be an issue for some people and/or applications. I have this sight mounted on a home defense shotgun. It is just noticeably taller over the old RM33 mount, but it does not impact anything. It still does block the iron sights on the shotgun.

I wish it did come with some documentation. It takes some figuring out if you are unfamiliar with these mounts.

This kit comes with the mount, screws with loctite and the Trijicon tool.

I would definitely recommend this mount over the RM33 mount for a primary sight on a shotgun. The quick release feature is a nice and much welcome improvement. For use as a mount for the RMR on a rifle as a primary sight, it is barely tall enough and requires a lot of straining to use it. For use on a canted rail for a rifle secondary sight, it is too tall and too bulky, as well as unnecessary. For this application I would stick with the RM33 mount.
