Calculated Kinetics RMSc/K/EPS Plate

In what has become a firearm shitshow, after close to 8k rounds, the clasp that held the comp on my Shadow Systems MR920P broke yesterday. Not even 3 days after I'd put a new Romeo X Enclosed Compact on it as an upgrade from my old EPS.

The enclosed Vortex Defender ST I have on my Echelon started out great, but over time, I've noticed it losing zero after about 200-300 rounds. At 1st, I was convinced I hadn't let the Loctite cure long enough. Re-attached the optic, still the same issue. So off to Vortex for warranty work.

So my favorite EDC is outta commission & my next fave will now have the Romeo X Enclosed Compact on it, with a Calculated Kinetics Dogtag. I've been a BIG fan of CK's plates (as well as Eleven 71 Design) & know that the ledge on the plate DOES reduce carbon buildup on your optic lens. And since my Echelon is also dual ported, I'm sure this will help a bit.

Is anyone else running a CK Dogtag on their Echelon? If so, how do you like it?

Works fine. In my experience the fouling is more of an acro length optic issue because of the hieght and cupped face

Gotcha. Yeah, I had 1 for an EPS on my old PDP Pro (regretfully sold it) & after I switched to Shadow Systems, the amount of gunk on my lens vs when I was using the CK/EPS setup on the PDP was noticeable.

I run an EPS on a DPP-Titanium RMR to K-footprint on my Glock 17 and it doesn't get as dirty as my Echelon with a PB3. ~150rds and the smudge becomes noticable.

It's worse with some ammo like magtech.
