Honest Assessment
After installing this on several customer firearms and our own shop gun, here’s the straightforward breakdown.
✅ Pros:
- Fit and Finish: The PVD coyote finish is exceptionally durable and consistent. We’ve found it resists holster wear better than many standard anodized finishes.
- Precision Machining: Tolerances are tight. The optic seats with a solid, positive lockup and zero wobble in our testing.
- Weight: At a measured 1.4 ounces, it adds minimal bulk while maintaining rigidity.
- Design: The integrated rear sight is a smart feature that saves you an extra purchase and ensures a co-witness with common red dot sights.
- Installation: It’s as simple as it gets. Uses the factory-length screws for a clean, reliable mount without needing a gunsmith.
❌ Cons:
- Price: It’s positioned at the higher end of the market. You’re paying for the quality and features.
- Color Match: “Coyote” can vary between manufacturers. If you’re trying to match it to a specific frame or other parts, it might not be a 100% perfect match.
- Availability: Because it’s a regular reorder item for us due to popularity, it can sometimes sell out quickly between shipments.
Who Should / Shouldn’t Buy
Buy this if: You’re looking for a high-quality optic mounting solution for your Glock and value durability, a clean integrated sight design, and proven performance. It’s for the user who prefers to buy once and wants a part that won’t be the weak link. The customer satisfaction data we have supports this as a reliable choice.
Skip this if: Your budget is the absolute primary concern and you’re willing to compromise on features like an integrated rear sight or finish durability. Also, if you need an optic cut for a footprint other than RMR/Holosun 507C, this isn’t the plate for you.
Q & A
Is the weight really 1.4 ounces?
Yes. We measured it on our digital bench scale here in the shop. It came in at a consistent 1.4 ounces, which aligns with the manufacturer’s claim and contributes to its balanced feel on the slide.
Does this work with Holosun 507C and SCS?
It is designed for the RMR/Holosun 507C footprint. The Holosun SCS has a different, proprietary footprint and will not mount directly to this plate. You would need an adapter or a different plate.
Do I need a gunsmith to install it?
No. The installation is tool-less and designed for the end user. It utilizes the original length screws from your Glock MOS system. Simply seat the plate and torque the screws to the proper specification (typically 15-18 in/lbs).
Where can I buy P211-GT5 online?
You’re looking at it. P80Kit in Redding, CA, carries the P211-GT5 COYOTE. We’ve stocked it since its release and it’s become a consistent seller for us based on its performance.
How does the coyote color hold up?
Very well. The PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish is notably tough. In our shop demo gun, which sees regular handling, the plate shows virtually no wear on the high points or screw holes, which is more than we can say for some other finishes.
Is the rear sight usable with a red dot?
Yes. The integrated rear sight is suppressor-height, providing a lower-third co-witness with most common micro red dots when installed. This gives you a usable iron sight picture through the optic window.
What’s included in the box?
The plate comes in a hard plastic case with foam insert. It includes the plate itself, a full set of mounting screws and sealing plate, and basic instructions. All hardware is high-quality and properly sealed.
