If you want to try out an optic, you could get the EGW mount for Bomar cut. About 50 bux...perfect fit with NO fitting into my Bomar cut slide, dropped a Venom on there and it is gtg if you want to put the Bomar back on. Of course it does not sit as low tho....just a thought...I have had one on for 2 years, no issues. 9mm.
