turbopower18 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Getting ready to buy a RTS2 and undecided on what mount to go with. What mounts have you found work best for the RTS2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdnok Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I'm sure there are a number of good mounts out there but in particular I have had great experience with CK Arms mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knguyen1904 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I have an Everglades Mount for my DPP and love it. Will be swapping the mount on my backup gun with rts 2 for the Everglades as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalRex Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I’ve got the Brazos Customs mount on my open gun and it works fine. I do like the Everglades mount tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetAwayDriva Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) I chopped off the blast shield and use the Everglades with my Romeo 3. Works great. Edited April 25, 2018 by GetAwayDriva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Didn't like how the cheely puts the sight offset to bore line. Tried the FMW and liked how it looked and balanced, but had the odd ejection issue due to how far back the sight was placed. Now using the double Alpha and liking it a lot. Integrated thumb rest is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaylanGivens Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I originally put on a Brazos RTS2 mount... Switched to an Everglades mount mainly for the blast shield... Both worked well and centered the sight over the barrel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 You don’t even notice the offset of a Cheely mount while shooting. It’s not that much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echotango Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 OCD. And the Everglades is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racegun9 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I like the two sided mounts. They are very solid. Double Tap Sports has a new one that works with RTS2 or DPP. IPSC Alex or SV are the other two sided mounts out there. If you run a slide racker with the double sided mounts, it's best to have the detent set-up so you can remove the racker real easy to take the slide off.

Whe I ran a Cheely upright mount with slide ride that thing was waay offset to the point of looking weird if you looked at it from behind. But wh n shooting even that much offset was invisible. The RTS2 mount is just barely offset by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RTS2 mount is just barely offset by comparison. And yet... still ugly haha. I just hate the way offsets look, personally. I have had 3 different Everglades mounts now. I wouldn't buy anything else. The Brazos mounts are nice, but I much prefer having a blast shield (on my new gun especially, with the big holes it makes lenses filthy). I also like the Limcat mounts, and if you use a thumbrest then it would be a good option. I am not a fan of the price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsipd Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I ended up with the brazos custom mount too. Sits in the center of the slide. Looks good and is sturdy. Looked at the Everglades mount too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjwalt666 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I recently got the everglades mount also but have only mocked it up so far. Havent shot with it yet. I went to this after using a sideways mount with a slideride so it'll be a big difference Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBolt Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Started with a Cheely and ran it for about a year. In close it was fine but out past 25 yards I was having to index the dot to the right. Just switched to the Everglades and no more issues. Spot on at all distances. Could just be a mental thing but I will be sticking with the Everglades.

johnsonian85 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I didn't have any issues with m CK, centered the dot, held the dot. I have an AGW now, the dot is off center (narrow frame) which isn't ideal when I look at my gun but I can't tell when I'm dry firing or shooting. It was a bit expensive, maybe should have looked around more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk ProAfter some time with the Brazos Customs RTS Mount, I have had no failure to eject and it is a breeze to clean. The lack of blast shield has not been an issue. Learning to find the dot was easy since the sight is right there at the draw. I am very happy with my purchase of the Brazos mount.
