I got the Cyelee Cat for my TX22 Compact, but 2 cap screws labled M4 x .7 One is labeled (Effective Length 8.6 mm) and is labeled (Effective Length 10.1 mm). Which one is it?
I don't remember, I had a lot of screws from the Cyelee and other optics and just used the ones that were the longest ones that didn't bottom out. I tested it by just screwing in the cap screws until they bottomed out and then test fitting the optic and finally putting the Loctite on the screws and using my torque screwdriver to get everything tightened for good. Every time I use that screwdriver, it seems like it's set way too high, but I had it checked and it's almost dead on accurate at 10 inch/ounces.

Did the screws bottom out?

The screws did not bottom out, I guess that the amount of torque specified was more than I expected 10-15 In/Lbs to be. I've checked screws on other guns with optics premounted on them and the torque screwdriver didn't click on most of them, so the screws were already tight enough, or more. The Cyelee seems to be a pretty decent optic. I have a red dot on one gun, a green dot on another. I am at the point that I won't be buying anymore red dots unless the deal is just crazy cheap.

The screw length is 8.6 mm. See the video I posted.
 
I have the exact same torque screwdriver, and it looks like the guy in the video was finding it took more effort than he expected, like I do, every time. There are a couple of guns I have that I would need to have the slide machined for an optic, so I'm not looking to put one on those, but when I get a Sig 365, I have a green dot that supposedly will go right on. Hopefully. There are way too many mounting variants on optics, IMHO, a larger and a smaller one would be fine, you don't need a half dozen, it's just a way to mount the thing, not something that affects anything else but mounting it. Kind of like how MS changes Windows for no sane reason every time a new version comes out. Keep everything in the SAME PLACE, don't move it for no real reason, and don't change the name of where it's at!
