happy with the sideways mount???????

[tswisher21]

I have a STI dvc open in 9mm,i sent it back it back to sti and its a lot better but I still get the occasional jam. Mostly with major ammo. There is a lot of talk about the sideways mounts . Do you have one that cured your jams and who's mount is it? If you are up to it a picture of it on your gun would be great. Thanks

I have a STI DVC 9mm open gun that did the same thing yours is doing with the original mount..... you can tune your ejector to work.. but if you different head stamp brass the problem will re-occur..  I went to a DAA vertical mount .. no more jams... I would not go back to the original mount..

I found 90 degree mounts ugly. I used one for a few years until they got the bugs worked out of the RTS2 then switched. But the 90 will certainly fix ejection issues. No question

Tried the 90' and it lasted 1 match. Hated it.  Went RTS2 and never looked back.

Just put it on 2 weeks ago. Zero issues now and love it. It also moves the optic closer to the slide.... Might be ulgy but it shoots

If you don't want the vertical 90 degree mount, Cheelie also makes an offset mount that moves it over to the left. I made mine  and it has cured the 9 Major issues, along with a Brazos ejector.

I can’t stand the 90 mount. Tried it but the sight gets in the way of my thumb when taking the safety off on the draw

Cameron Custom 90 degree with *thumb rest [generic]* opposable thumb rest.  You will need an extended slide racker or just put the one that comes with the gun  on the right side.

It immediately took care of some earlier problems with ejection.  Love the sideways mount.

Same mount and works for me. Had so many ejection issues with the straight up mounts on my other open guns I went with the sideways mount on my new open guns. Looked like it would interfere with seeing targets but was not a problem when I used it. No slide racker and don’t see a need for one. Love the sideways mount.

No ejection marks. 25,000 rounds.

i just turned both of mine 90* to get the dot lower to the barrel, way easier to pick it up that way, at least for me.  i have a quinn on one and brazos on the other, both seem to work fine.

[Janskis]

I used a Toni Systems 90 degree mount for about a year. Dot was easier to pick than regular upright mount but the thumbrest was hard to access and slide manipulation was difficult.

 

I bought an RTS2 and haven't regretted a bit. Picking up the dot is easier than with the 90 degree and thumbrest and slide manipulation are easy.

 

I had no malfunctions with any of these so YMMV

I replaced my slide ride with an RTS 2 since that is what STI sells the DVC Open with at this time. I didn’t like a few things about the side mount. The looks, the balance, the sight picture and the interference with the slide rocker and thumb rest. All of these made me move to the RTS2. I sold the mount and CMore slide ride to offset the RTS2 cost.

I tried the 90 mount and didn’t like it as much as my offset vertical mount.  I kept seeing the body of the Cmore during transitions.  So I went right back to what feels comfortable.
