I installed a new Osight gen dot. Bought directly because Amazon didn't have green. The directions recommend using the included screws. It came with 6 each of 4 different sizes/ thread pitches which is great. Using my torque driver I applied 15 in-lbs to the shorter screw on my HGW custom cut G34 slide and it clicked no problem. I then threaded the long screw in and my torque driver didn't click, but suddenly there was no tension. The worst had happened. The head snapped clean off, right at the top of the slide. I had to run to the hardware store and buy a 1/16" drill bit and drill it out before the loctite I had just applied dried and I had to fight that too. An hour later I got the screw out. Re mounted with screws I bought on ebay for another sight, and torque values were achieved. Disaster was averted this time, but beware of cheap hardware. I have heard good things about the Osight, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt and an abundance of caution
