Recommend a 90 degree mount for G34

[minnesota1]

I really like the C-More on the 90 degree mounts. Can you recommend me one and where to get it?  Also, do I need to drill the frame or does it use existing frame holes etc?   

 

Thanks

Id highly recommend Carver mounts. Tell DK sent ya.

If you choose to go SJC id send it to them for mounting. There is a lot of technique in getting those frame bushings right.

Can you send me a picture of one attached to a gun?  

 

Thanks!

I got the SJC 90 degree mount because I didn't want the holster problems you get with Carver's mount.  The SJC mount allowed me to use the Safariland holster I wanted.  There is only one real option for the Carver mount, CR Speed, and I really don't like that one much at all.  Additionally, it looked like it would be harder to adapt my grip to handle the Carver mount since it is kind of awkward. 

 

However, if I had to do it over again, I might get the Carver mount.  I kind of would like the ability to remove the optic mount and use the gun for other stuff, if needed in the future.  Once you go SJC, you can't go back.  The bushings are in there forever, so your gun is dedicated for good.  Also, it is scary as heck to install the bushings.  You are at serious risk of destroying the serialized frame if you are not exceedingly careful.  Especially if you don't have the proper tools, like a good end mill, you can very easily mess up your gun and make it even more ugly. 

 

My results were OK.  I did the installation myself because that was the entire appeal of an open Glock build.  I narrowly missed some major problems, but it was slow, frustrating, and scary work.  The SJC setup works well, but I now question the value of SJC's design relative to the advantage of Carver's mount, which requires no permanent modifications.

 

Another option, maybe, is to look at the six second mount from ALG, no permanent mods to the gun needed.  I've never seen anybody use one for competition purposes, but it is perhaps an even better design than Carver's mount.

The above is why I recommend the Carver. You can also modify a couple of other holsters to work with it being as well as the CR-Speed. The Ghost and Ghost 1 can be modified to work with it as well.  

 

Also if you are off in cant or level on the bushings for the SJC it can cause accuracy issues. Like I said better to let them or someone with the ability to do the install of the bushings. I did one on the mill and would rather not do it again personally.  

 

You can find the pictures you are looking for at the Carver website. Google is your friend

Also to add both companies have spent a lot of time and effort in learning how to get an Open Class Glock to function. Bobby Carver is always willing to lend a tip out or two when you need help if something goes wrong. 

 

Both attach through the trigger pin in the rear its the front attachment that is the difference. So grip in theory is the same. Both have the ability to attach a thumbrest to the mounts as well.
