Smokin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I just got my DP in tonight and got done grinding bolts on the mount for a good fit. My question is whether any of you are using any mounting plates for your deltapoints? Are you mounting it directly to the mount? Seems to work fine......but am concerned that I may be taking some shortcut..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Should not need a spacer since the DP uses the same mounting pattern as the Jpoint. Ralph runs the same setup and uses no spacer. Only the docter style sights need a spacer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No spacers. Mount it direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not be possible to mount the DP any lower than you can with the Arrendondo mount. I actually had to take a little bit off the front of the mount for it to clear the top of my slide. I got the Arrendondo from Shooters Connection and it was shipped the same day I ordered it. These guys are FREAKISHLY fast on their shipping!

9X23Guy Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have to get a blank mount anyway. The holes in my frame are not spaced evenly when it was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjanglin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Say folks; is their a double sided mount for the Delta Point? Need one for the thin Para dust cover. Jim Sailors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Sailors Best bet is to modify a Double Tap/SVI C-More mount to accept the DP. http://www.doubletapsports.com/node/127 http://www.sviguns.com/1101.php?indx=17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had to take a little bit off the front of the mount for it to clear the top of my slide. That is absolutely correct. I put one last night on one of my guns, and I had to remove quite a bit of material from the underside of the mount - close to .040", if not more. So on my next one (I suspect there might be one in the future!) I would consider the undrilled model, except there is not much meat below the screws as it is, so I am afraid the screw heads will overhang the lower edge of the mount. I really wish they extended the mount maybe 1mm lower for people like me. Of course every gun is different, but mine is not unusual, so I suspect that interference must be a fairly common occurrence. Is it possible that the Caspian slide is a bit taller than the STI? So far I like the overall result, will post pictures if anyone is interested. Now the dot is at about the same height above the bore as with the 90-degrees C-more mount. Edited February 1, 2012 by Foxbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
