Quick update on the RTS 2 mount.. the initial sight in, I could not get the scope to center..it was too HIGH at 25 yards. We noticed that some other mounts out there have a 1 deg cant that allows for a good range of adjustment. As it turns our there was a clearance issue with the reverse plug that was causing the issue. we are good now. Through this Matt was very responsive an offered a good alternative if my gun needed something custom. Fortunately, it was something that could be easily resolved and was not related to the mount. Another question/observation that came up was the fact that the scope/dot mounts slightly off center to the left....Matt mentioned that this is on purpose and aesthetically it looked funny the top of the mount was extended to center the scope. Thinking though this, that sounds reasonable. Having the scope off center to the left does not affect the accuracy (enough to matter) at any distance. I test fired the gun at several distances..I was able to hit the A zone off hand at 40 yrds consistently with this setup. this is pretty good given that I'm not much of a bulls-eye guy. The site on the gun comes up naturally for me. I've run a open rim fire gun before with the classic cmore. I like the positioning of the dot better with the RTS2. I'm very happy with the RTS mount and Matt's support. I've included a couple more pics showing the progress on the gun. We finished it this week with Cerakote.

Here is another shot of the gun/mount

Nice looking gun ... looking at the pics is the rts 2 and mount a bit offset from the center of the slide? Thanks! I'm very happy how it turned out. You are right, it is slightly off center. I have a standard width frame. if it was a wide frame, it would be more significant. We talked about making mod that would center it...but I opt'd to shoot it for a while to see it is something that I care about.

I was near the initial phase of a build and was looking at scope options. I picked up an RTS2 and Matt Cheely's mount. I received the mount the other day. very nice mount...I also put one of Matt's "shorty" slide racker. Thanks to Matt to being prompt on his email replies and sending out the mount Here is a few pictures from the build. Its and STI standard frame cut down to commander length. 9mm Major with the Dawson Awesome comp. My buddy are the brains behind the build. I still have to do some finishing...but the gun is functional.

I like the grip advice. Even though Redstag is a master class shooter, I guess there is always room for improvement.
