DannerDog Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I have three 2011 open guns that I have converted the mounts to micro dots. It has been a challenge to find mounts that are the same screw pattern for mounting to the frame and also have had height and width clearance for the slide. I like buying used guns to experiment with but a hesitant in buying anything else that doesn’t already have a micro dot mount. Thoughts and experiences would be appreciated.

Balakay Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Check out the Doubletap Mount. This will fit RTS2, DPP and Romeo 3 There are spacers for different frame widths https://www.doubletapsports.com/doubletap-custom-products/Doubletap-Sports-Compact-Scope-Mount-1911-2011 Edited March 24, 2019 by Balakay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 You must have bought some oddballs. Standard STI spacing of .375" on centers is used almost universally for frame mounts on 2011. I prefer Cheely mounts. because they already have the 1 degree angle baked in. Open gun generally have the slides lightened and that includes flat topping. All of the slides on my Open guns clear the mount by a good margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traingq Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have the Brazos mount on all of mine but one which has a limcat mount, I never had a problem with any of my open guns with mounts not fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz427 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Weird. I just converted mine from a regular old cmore, believe it was on a factor sti trubor mount, to a Romeo 1 with an Everglades mount. Same standard .375 spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into this exact problem with my 2011. Call Matt Cheely and order one of their blank mounts and have a gunsmith drill the holes for your particular gun. Edit: You have to call them to order that item. They don't list it on the website. Edited March 25, 2019 by UpYoursPal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannerDog Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks for the responses so far. It would appear that modis where made to 2 of the three open guns I currently own. The way I am understanding some of the comments on my threads and a couple others if I buy a STI DVC open with a c-more Mount for example and no mods to the mount have been made I could then buy a Microdot mount for a DVC open and easily interchange it?
