Springer 320 X5 plate durabilty

[Sandbagger123]

i got a springer adapter plate to mount my burris.  a little filing and it fits well.  one thing i noticed is it does not have a tab in the front to engage the recess in the slide that the iron sight plate does.   So the only screws holding the plate on are the rear screws.  seeing that the rearward movement  of the slide is so violent, has there been any issues with the springer plates breaking ?

I have my Vortex Razor mounted on one and had to file just a small amount to get it to fit sliding in from the side just like the rear site plate. I actually used a wet stone to take the small amount off to get the proper fit. The screws are not getting any impact from the front to back movement of the slide the way it fits.

 

Both ends should have a bevel cut to them, requiring you to slide it in from the side to install.
