G17 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I was planning on putting an SJC Sideways mount with Cmore slideride on my Glock 17 for open. I backed out on that idea because honestly i just don't like the way it looks and i know it's going to bother me being off balance even a tiny bit. The next option was a standard SJC Cmore mount with Cmore slide ride but i don't want to have to deal with sending my slide off to get the ejection port lowered. So where i stand now is i'm thinking about getting SJC's micro-dot mount and using one of the smaller sights (CmoreSTS,burris FF2, Deltapoint, Doctor, Trijicon). SJC says it's not necessary to lower the ejection point with the micro mount so that's a selling point for me. I initially wanted a slide ride for the bigger window but i think i might be OK with one of the smaller dot's. Do you think i'll notice a huge difference between the two? Has anyone used the micro-dot mount and what dot did you use? Any problems you ran into or advice you can give? I guess also i'm trying to decide what dot to get for it. They're all about the same price except the Trijicon. Which red dot do you like the best? Also, what moa is recommended? I'v been going back in forth in my head about what mount and what dot i want for the gun for way too long. I just need to pick something and order it. I figured i would see if i could get any feedback from you guys first. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The new CMore RTS (???) has a larger window than the STS and is a mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothandnail Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Here's mine, we've done quite a few Burris FF lll's this way ETA, I'd recommend a taller front post, I've installed one since these pics. Also cut it 1mm lower, as well. it's cut 4mm deep now Edited January 4, 2014 by toothandnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stev7783 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I use the sjc 90 degree. The big window of the slide ride is a huge advantage and the balance of the gun is pretty good. I've used a doctor 7 moa in the past and the cmore is just absolutely 100 times better with an 8 moa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EkuJustice Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I would sent the slide off and get it cut as it's not a big issue. I would send the whole thing to carver and let him install the sjc mount lower the port and add a thumb rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of those grains of sands that popped into my mind. I agree with you 100%. I got an RM02 Trijicon (6.5 MOA). It is machined into a Glock slide and includes suppressor sights. Another place to get that done is L&M Precision Gunworks in Prescott. Mine actually came from One Source Tactical in Prescott and I'm betting it was made by the guy at L&M while he worked there. Machining the optic into place allows it to be low enough to use suppressor iron sights also. The dot can be slow to reacquire without the iron sights for guidance on these slide mounted optics. I believe the setup I have with a machined slide and suppressor sights is the way to go for rapid target and dot reacquisition. So anyway, I agree with EKUJustice. Get it done right and you will not regret it later. By the way this optic is great. I love the ability to fire without lining up a bunch of things and actually hit the intended target...which seems more difficult for me than it should be.

Steve RA Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you should go for a Burris, I'd suggest you go for the III instead of the II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just ordered SJC sideways mount and cmore slide ride. I wasn't thrilled about the sideways mount but i feel confident that i want the slide ride so we'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't thrilled about the sideways mount but i feel confident that i want the slide ride so we'll see how it goes. It's a good choice. Once you get over having to drill the holes in the frame you'll notice the difference. It is also nices because no lowering of the ejection port is needed and since the optic isn't mounted to the slide it will last much longer.

maxpower Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) the added weight of the offset mount is really not that bad. the weight still feels centered when you hold it. I was concerned that it would feel like it wanted to tilt the side of the mount but didn't at all once I installed it.

dogtired Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 You can get a dovetail mount for the Burris to try out the concept, it will ride a little higher than machined into the slide obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmetty Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Just finished up my G 35 open gun project, and I went with an SJC mount and a Burris Fastfire 8 MOA. Sighted it in this morning. Gunsmith related installing this was a major pain, so I'm glad I didn't do it. Still wound up having to shim the sight a bit. Ran 150 rds thru it, and held zero. Now, I just have to find the best load for the comp. Edited January 12, 2014 by gmetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goat68 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Side mount c-more is harder to zero but gets the dot closer to the slide than a "fastfire" type dot. Good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
