Yep, no change to the plate's thickness.
While an RMR and SRO would fit on our H plate, a Holosun will not fit on the form fitting RMR plate.

OPF-G, RMR supports the full width of RMRs and SROs, thus a sealer plate is unnecessary. On top of that, Glock's MOS design uses a plate that's rather thin, it provides sufficient thread engagement, no more and no less. Adding an unnecessary plate to it further reduces it by a bit, not enough to matter probably, as you need one with Glock's factory MOS. If we can obtain another 1/10 turn (probably less) more thread engagement, our stance is we'd rather have it than not.
Re: tapped posts used by the other company, there are several reasons we didn't follow that design.
1. It is their design, we don't copy other's IP
2. We stick to Glock's specs, as we stick to TDP specs whenever we can in our AR component designs, unless we see a reason to go a different route. We didn't.
3. We prefer the larger diameter sight to plate screws in the Glock MOS design.
We are evaluating a thicker version of OPF-G, RMR to increase the thread engagement. As mentioned previously, this would be done at the expense of taller sight height, and we'd get a bit more thread engagement out of it. As designed, OPF-G, RMR retains the same thickness as Glock's RMR, and doesn't require retraining and new iron sights. A taller plate may negate that advantage, at this point I rather doubt the trade off is worth the supposed benefit. There is no free lunch.

I’ve been on the fence about buying a new Glock G45 MOS or getting a slide milled on my existing G45.
This FCD OPF-G for an RMR is the solution I’ve been waiting for. Ordered a new G45 MOS, RMR Type 2, and this plate today.
Look of forward to trying the combo.
ETA: order confirmation at 11:59 am. Order shipped confirmation at 12:23 pm. Wow. Great service.

Soon, it shouldn't take long, the ground work is mostly done, it's rather similar to the Glock plate. We're focusing on releasing our v3 bolt catches and long awaited ambi safety, and have a lot of resourced tied up in them
