First Thoughts on the C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO
The C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO promises to bridge the gap between your Sig P320 RXP slide and the world of Trijicon and Holosun optics. This adapter plate is designed for Sig P320X series pistols (X-FIVE, X-COMPACT, X-CARRY) that come equipped with the RXP ROMEO1 Pro slide cut, allowing users to mount popular red dot sights like the Trijicon RMR/SRO and Holosun 407C/507C/508C/508T. Its potential to expand optic choices for a platform I already enjoy using made it immediately appealing.
As an experienced shooter with multiple Sig P320 variants, I was frustrated by the limited factory optic options for the RXP slide. I was looking for a robust and reliable mounting solution that would allow me to run my preferred Holosun optic on my P320 X-Carry. The factory Romeo1 Pro wasn’t cutting it for me, and I wanted the durability and clarity of a Holosun 507C.
Upon receiving the C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO, I was impressed by the initial feel and appearance. The black anodized finish looked clean and durable, and the plate itself felt solid in hand. Compared to some cheaper adapter plates I’ve seen, this one exudes quality and precision.
I also considered adapter plates from Leupold and Bobro Engineering, but the C&H Precision plate seemed to offer the best balance of features, price, and positive user reviews. My first impression was one of cautious optimism; I was eager to see if it would live up to its promises of a secure and reliable optic mount.
Real-World Testing: Putting C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO to the Test
First Use Experience
I first tested the C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO at my local outdoor shooting range. The adapter was installed on my Sig P320 X-Carry and paired with a Holosun 507C red dot sight. I put approximately 200 rounds through the pistol that day, testing for zero retention and overall stability of the optic.
The CHP Adapter Plate performed flawlessly under typical range conditions. The installation was straightforward, and the optic held zero perfectly throughout the session. I was particularly impressed with how securely the Holosun 507C was mounted to the plate, showing no signs of movement or loosening.
Extended Use & Reliability
After several months of consistent use, the C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO continues to perform admirably. I have since put over 1000 rounds through my P320 X-Carry with the adapter plate installed. I also tested the setup in a dusty outdoor environment and during a rainy range session.
The adapter plate has shown no signs of wear and tear beyond some very minor cosmetic marks. Cleaning is simple; a quick wipe-down with a CLP-soaked cloth is all that’s needed. This adapter plate definitely outperforms other “budget” options that I have used in the past, which often suffered from loosening screws and shifting zero.
Breaking Down the Features of C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO
Specifications
The C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO is specifically designed to convert Sig P320X series pistols (X-FIVE, X-COMPACT, X-CARRY) with the RXP ROMEO1 Pro slide cut to accept Trijicon RMR/SRO, Holosun 407C, 507C, 508C, and 508T red dot sights.

Performance & Functionality
The C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO performs its job exceptionally well. It provides a secure and stable mounting platform for a variety of red dot sights. It also ensures consistent zero retention under normal shooting conditions.
The adapter plate’s strength lies in its precision machining and tight tolerances, which eliminate any play or movement between the optic and the slide. The only potential weakness is that adapter plates, in general, add a slight height increase to the optic, which may require taller iron sights for co-witnessing. The adapter plate meets and exceeds expectations.
Design & Ergonomics
The C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO boasts a simple yet effective design. Its low-profile design minimizes bulk and maintains a comfortable grip. The black anodized finish blends seamlessly with the pistol’s slide, resulting in a clean and professional appearance.
The adapter plate is incredibly user-friendly, and the installation process is straightforward. Even someone with minimal gunsmithing experience should be able to install it quickly and easily. There is minimal learning curve.
Durability & Maintenance
The C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO is built to last. Its high-quality materials and durable finish ensure years of reliable performance. Routine maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning and inspection of the mounting screws.
The adapter plate’s robust construction and corrosion-resistant finish should withstand harsh environmental conditions and heavy use. I expect this adapter plate to last for the lifetime of the pistol.
Accessories and Customization Options
The C&H Precision Weapons CHP Adapter Plate RMR/SRO/HOLO comes with all necessary mounting screws. The primary customization option is the choice of red dot sight that can be mounted on the plate. It is compatible with a wide range of Trijicon RMR/SRO and Holosun optics.
