RJH Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I searched but didn't see an answer. Is there any reason not to use a Cmore slide ride for carry ops? If shooting a plastic gun I wouldn't think making weight would be an issue, is there something else I am missing? I know it would hang off the back of the slide but I like the idea of that big glass. Does hanging off of the back of the slide make it illegal, or do people just not like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that it would be legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I've never seen one that wasn't mounted to a frame mount, but according to C-More's website... "The Slide Ride was originally designed to mount directly to the slide of Glock handguns..." So if you were to mill the slide to accept it, it should be legal.

Good point - I'd tend to agree with you. Only one way to find out I s'pose, contact Troy for clarification. I'd definitely like to see what it looks like on the pistol should you choose to mount it that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rishii Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I saw one years ago the front of the c-more was directly to the rear of the ejection port, the back was hanging past the end of the slide most holsters should work as long as it doesn’t have a thumb break or retention hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I called Springer precision about this and he suggested that this may not be the best option for my gun (xdm 5.25), so I am going to take his advice and go a different route.

open17 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 OK--went and did a little measuring. Set a c-more on top of a G17 slide. With it set so both mount screws had something to screw into, it hung over the rear of the ejection port about 3/16" and had 1.6" hanging off the rear of the slide. Could be done---not sure why anybody would want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBurgess Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Cmore makes or made an adaptor plate to mount the sight to the back of a GLOCK it screwed to the slide and the sight attached to the plate. That ready it didn't interfere with the ejection.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneBray Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Late to discussion. Weight lightest is 3 oz. and heaviest 4 1/2” oz. The later is fairly heavy. 4.8” length is long and holster could be an issue. 1.25” wide and 1.95” tall. It is a large red dot. Look at Vortex Viper or Venom. Smaller in some dimensions and slightly lighter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
