chrisstophere Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 So I'm making the switch to DPP from a slide ride (ty 9major) and need to find a mount for a PT frame. I'm leaning towards an Atlas since they also use the PT frames in their builds. Anybody have any suggestions for a single sided mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazos makes one that will be centered without milling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balakay Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 My mistake. I had one on my Brazos gun before I changed to a DPP. Hard to keep track of all of them. In any event, you really won't notice the offset if you choose not to file/mill the mount to get it centered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooldylocks Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I don't think you would even need a smith to machine that .040" off the pad. I bet a local machine shop would do that for you. It is literally a single pass with an end mill. Getting it setup would take longer than the cut would. I bet all told on a manual machine it would take less than 10 minutes, if that.

CHA-LEE Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Single sideded mounts are convenient, but also not as structurally ridged as double sided mounts. I like the DPP on my Open gun and have tried both the Cheely one sideded and Tevo Sports double sided mounts. The Tevo Sports double sideded mount produces a much smoother tracking of the dot primarily because of the increased rigidity. This also assumes that your recoil management is good enough to keep the dot within the glass through the whole recoil process. If the gun is flopping around within your hands like a fish during recoil then a more ridged mount isn't going to make any perceivable difference.

TMcGowan Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I use the Double Tap Sports mount. It's two sided and seems very solid. I think Infinity used to use them on there builds until they started making there own in house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
