JPB Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Do any of the included mounting plates work and does it co-witness with the irons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Bird Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have two core 9mm 4.24 and a 5" one has Trijicon RMR and one has Vortex Razor. I also have a Vortex mounted on my 22 steel revolver. Think they are both great and do a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustysa4 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 When mounted on the core, is it difficult to access the lock- screw on the rear of the Vortex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Which mounting adapter plate is needed for the Vortex? Would anyone care to share pictures? How far off from co-witness with the irons is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) The supplied #4 C-MORE STS plate fits the Vortex Razor. However the Vortex will not fit into the slide as it comes. The body of the Vortex is a little longer in front. I had to remove .035" from the forward shoulder of the slide to get the sight to drop down and sit flat. The sight is great but will require slight modification to the slide. Also the body is a little tall to co-witness well with the sights. You can see them but they are at the very bottom of the lens. The lock screw is easily accessed if you shorten the Allen wrench a little. Edited November 24, 2013 by Cavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhunterman Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The Core needs to have the slide machined a touch at the front of the opening. Here is a pic of mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Bird Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Vortex will not Co-Wittness. It is two tall so your looking over the top of the fixed sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhunterman Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Ken is correct. The Razor will not co-witness with factory sights. The correct mounting plate is the #4. I think we ended up taking .0365 off the front shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiegolf89 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 sdhunterman, where did you get your magwell? how do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhunterman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It is from Speed Shooters Specialties. I believe it is the limited mag well. I really like it. It fits on the frame pretty tight and hasn't loosened any. It is compatible with the TTI base pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idoc Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Just put a Vortex Viper onto M&P 9L Ported . Can't believe how easy it was. Remove two screws from the top plate on the M&P and peel the plate off. Clean number five plate from the M&P with CL&P. Place the vortex Viper 6 mao on top and screwed it down with the appropriate screws in the MEP kit which are already Loctite. Did not loosen the lock screws for the height and windage adjustment. The cowitnessing was rather remarkable. The heights turned out to be exactly what's on my M&P Pro 9 mm 5 inch. After a session at the range I don't believe I will have to change the zero setting. If I did I would have to either remove the back sight to unlock the adjustments or take it off and make the adjustment then put it back on. Am very pleased.

Mully383 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I put the vortex viper on one of mine. It fits fine and it cowitnesses with the irons. Not my favorite optic but it does work well for the price. It's not a good optic for competition becuase of the size and with out a auto on function it doesn't appeal to me as everyday carry optic.
