bobert1 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I put one on my XD Service running 9mm. It is early in my test. Only about 500 rounds. GREAT so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJD Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've been using one for 8 months on my 17 open 3gun pistol shooting minor pf to about 135-145 pf loads and it has held up fine. The dovetail mount stripped, Burris sent me a replacement. I worry more about the mount than the sight. Mine is 3 MOA , wish I had the 8 for on a pistol. The only thing I don't like about the sight is the small window. I am going to upgrade soon and this one will go on my Open 3 gun rifle. When I chose a new sight, whatever it is I will have my slide milled for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parashooter38 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have one on a Glock34 with a few thousand rounds through it and it works great no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have one on a Glock34 with a few thousand rounds through it and it works great no problems Same here on my G34, lots of rounds. Just removed the rear sight and used the Burris adapter. Get the 8MOA. I have the 3MOA and it is hard to pick up fast on a bright Texas day. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimaryBruce Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The FF III is easily the most popular optic we mill slides for. They hold up very, very well and we know of people are literally in the tens of thousands of rounds on the same slide mounted optic and still going.

igolfat8 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 45K over the last 3 years and still on original battery! FFIII's are rugged, dependable and flat out work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfremder Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Went through 2 FF 3's on my wife's xDM last season. Would shut off randomly during a match. Less than 1000 rounds on each. Burris was good to replace, but she lost confidence and gave up on the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I have a FF3 on a Springer precision mount on my .40 cal CZ P-09 and its been perfect for several thousand rounds, including a lot of "spicy" loads. Would be my choice again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm8300 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 When carry optics came out a buddy and I decided to see how his Burris FF3 would work using the burris mount that utilizes the stock rear sight groove. It works fine - just put tons of blue Loctite for the threads securing the adapter to the frame. If you plan on shooting CO for real, just get an MOS and call it a day.

You can buy a regular Gen 3 or 4 Glock and have it custom milled and finished for around what a MOS Glock runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
