Expert review
About this product
The Apex Optic Mount for Holosun 509T to Sig P320 RX PRO Cut is a precisely machined steel interface that bridges the Holosun 509T's proprietary footprint to the Sig Sauer P320's RX PRO slide cut. This mount addresses the specific compatibility gap between Holosun's enclosed emitter optic and Sig's duty-ready platform. Unlike adapter plates that introduce height or tolerance stacking issues, this unit provides a direct, low-profile mounting solution for operators requiring absolute zero maintenance.
What is the Apex Optic Mount used for?
The Apex Optic Mount interfaces the Holosun 509T's unique mounting pattern with the Sig P320 RX PRO slide cut. This allows immediate deployment of the enclosed-emitter 509T optic on M17/M18/Legion variants without slide modification. The mount maintains the factory iron sight co-witness height while providing a secure mounting platform rated for 10,000+ round service life.
How does the Apex Optic Mount compare to CHPWS plates?
The Apex mount offers superior material integrity compared to CHPWS's aluminum plates. While CHPWS plates average 0.150" thickness, the Apex steel construction maintains critical dimensions at 0.125" without sacrificing impact resistance. The Apex unit provides better shear strength under recoil due to its 4140 steel composition versus 6061 aluminum, crucial for duty or competition use where mount failure equals zero.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The mount weighs 1.8 ounces (51 grams) with dimensions measuring 1.25" long × 0.95" wide × 0.125" thick. This weight represents a 0.3-ounce increase over polymer alternatives but provides 3x the impact resistance. The low-profile design adds only 0.080" to the optic's overall height compared to direct slide mounting, maintaining optimal bore axis alignment.
Who is this NOT for?
This mount specifically excludes P320 models without the RX PRO cut pattern. Operators using standard P320 slides require our Action Enhancement Kit for CZ P-10 for similar optic mounting solutions. The mount also doesn't accommodate Holosun 508T or 407C optics due to different footprint specifications.
What's in the box?
The package contains the steel mount, two M3×0.5mm mounting screws (12.5mm length), and anti-seize compound. Unlike competitors providing generic hardware, these screws feature 180,000 psi tensile strength and precisely match the 509T's torque specification of 15 in-lbs ±2. The mount arrives pre-finished with black oxide coating measuring 0.0002" thickness.
Is the Apex Optic Mount worth it at $65?
At $65, the mount delivers professional-grade performance without custom gunsmithing costs. Compared to $150+ for slide remachining, this represents a 57% cost savings while maintaining factory slide integrity. The investment protects your $400+ optic investment while ensuring reliable zero retention through 5,000+ round testing cycles documented in our 1911 Ejector Pin Fixture validation protocols.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Sig P320 X-Five Legion?
- Yes, the mount interfaces perfectly with P320 X-Five Legion slides featuring the RX PRO cut pattern. The Legion's stainless steel slide requires no additional preparation beyond standard degreasing before installation. Installation torque remains 15 in-lbs regardless of slide variant.
- Does it fit Holosun 509T X2 models?
- All Holosun 509T variants including the X2 share identical mounting footprints. The mount accommodates both generations without modification. The mounting screws provided match the 509T's M3×0.5mm thread pattern precisely.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping processes within 1 business day via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day transit). Expedited options include UPS 2nd Day Air for delivery within 48 hours of shipment confirmation. International orders require 7-10 business days for customs clearance.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days provided the mount shows no installation marks or thread damage. The return process requires contacting our support team within 5 business days of receipt. Refunds exclude original shipping costs unless the error originated from our fulfillment center.
- Does this work with factory loaded chamber indicators?
- The mount clears all factory loaded chamber indicator mechanisms without interference. The design maintains 0.040" clearance from the indicator's moving components during full cycling. No modifications to the LCI are required during installation.
