Novock Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Long time reader. First time poster. I owe you guys a lot for helping me figure out my 9mm major loads, accuracy issues at that velocity and training techniques. Here is a bit of a complicated question i am hoping someone has actual experience with.... I run a Glock 17 with Carver comp and at the moment Iron sights in open USPSA division and 3 gun. I run HS6 powder behind 115's to make Major velocity and it blows a dirty mess back and coats the front two inches of the slide. It is about time i put an optic on the pistol. I like the SJC Micro mounts look and size, but it has no gas/blowback plate protecting the optic. Anybody run this combination? Does the blowback residue from the HS6 cloud the optic? Is this an issue? If so i will have to remove the SJC micro mount from my wishlist and figure something else out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mro111lland Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I run a xdm 5.25 carvor custom c-more mount with a blast shield 7 grains long shot and I have to clean the c-more after every match I don't think it helps at all set the dot back as far as u can carry a lens pen with you and have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I cover the front of the lens with masking tape or patching tape and just shoot it. When the covering gets too dirty and ugly I replace it. Easy and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novock Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 If i am hearing you guys right, the plate to protect the optic doesn't do that much to prevent the blowback residue? It will need to be cleaned regularly anyway right? So a mount without a protective plate would be fine... I might have to try that tape trick.

Racinready300ex Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I run a SJC 90 C-more mount. The lens is probably in about the same place as what you are looking at. I'm also running HS6, and my lens gets pretty dirty. I try to clean a every couple stages, but it doesn't hurt to clean it every stage. Not a big deal.

BoyGlock Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 There are comp ports and barrrel holes design that bleed gas without dirtying the lens. Ive seen one on an old schueman with 4 hybrid holes. It looked like the first hole is at a slight angle forward so the gas from it blocks the gasses from the forward holes from going to the rear and keeps the lens clean. It can last a thousand rounds without any dirt in the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
