I get it. That’s what I was thinking originally. I just can’t fight the urge to put one on.

CAS is on to something. I may need another. This one goes with my gen 5 19.

The gen6 19 to me isn't big enough to need an optic for what I want. I have a P365XL with optic that I never carry either. I think I'll carry the gen6 19 more if I just keep it plain, no optic, no light.

Does anyone know which length screws I should use to mount the 407c to my gen 6 19? It came with two different lengths. I’ve tried them both and both work. I’m thinking I’ll just use the longer ones but figured I’d ask before I torque them. Since the extractor is shorter there is no interference with a screw going too deep.

I have been searching on the google but I guess the gen 6 is too new. I’m not finding anything.

Maybe contact Holosun?

I think at this point any newer gun, if it’s not pocket carry, I’m adding an optic. My older P226 and DW CBOB will never get an optic. I considered milling my Glock 26, but I pocket carry it occasionally so decided not to. My 320 and P365XL both got optics. If I get any other newer stuff I will put an optic on it. The optic just makes it so much easier if you do your part. My P365XL/Holosun SCS is my current go to CCW.

I did use the longer screws. Went out and sighted 'er in. No issues. Shot great.

I'm liking the just the gun and optic. I feel a light is essential but I have an unattached light. I feel like the pistols just get huge with an optic and light. In uniform, however, a mounted light is non-negotiable. All my firearms must have them.
