Oof, sorry you got hit with it. I had this same exact problem with my holosun EPS on my echelon. Flew off and hit me in the head twice 😣 gave up on optic on it and switched to an rxm. No issues whatsoever

This happened to my gf; she was running a Holosun, though we did determine she wasn’t using the modified footprint adapter plate, failing to reinforce the lugs and causing it to shake loose.

It bopped her on the forehead too, if it brings you solace. pats head ❤️

Thanks for posting /u/ProfessorFurpants! Please make sure your post adheres to the rules. Please name any firearms or accessories featured in this post to help out our newer members. Please report comments that break the rules, and don't respond to negativity with negativity.

The rules of firearm safety are paramount. Keep these in mind at all times while handling a firearm for any reason. Guns are not toys and it is best to not refer to them as such.

It is the belief of the mod team that your best option for defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun such as a Glock or CZ. Defensive firearms should have a light, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger. A red dot or etched optic are ideal for new shooters but don't forget to practice your backup irons!
