MFM22 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Is there any other option for mounting a red dot on the SP01 beside cutting slide ? thought I heard of using rear sight dove tail slot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Check out CZ Custom. They sell dovetail plates for different red dot brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seakphotog Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Howdy, EGW and Springer Precision also sell dovetail adapters. I just ordered a Springer adapter for use on my new CZ97 for a bit to see if I'd be happy with milling the slide to accept a Vortex Venom. My SP01 was milled by CGW to accept their RMR plate and an SRO. Love it but I'm agonizing over which way to go with the CZ97 - RMR mount and adapter plate or Venom directly milled to slide. I figure the dovetail adapater is a relatively inexpensive way to try out the Venom. Edited February 27, 2020 by Seakphotog Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcar157 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Seakphotog, have 3MOA Venoms on two CZs, one on a plate milled to the slide (CZC) and a EGW dovetail plate on the other. Also have two 1911s with EGW dovetail plates and Venoms. Love the Venoms and other than cosmetics (RDS sitting lower) I see no advantage to a milled slide as far as performance. Just sayin'!

Thanks for that! TBH, I'm kinda hoping I end up just fully satisfied with the dovetail adapter and Venom and I can call it a day without feeling compelled to mill the slide. Can you get a front sight that's tall enough to co witness with the Venom if you use a dovetail mount? I like Venoms as well, especially for the sale prices at which they've lately been available. I had one on my 5in PPQ until I replaced it with an SRO and I've got one on a dovetail adapter (that I had to modify) on a Girsan Regard Beretta 92fs/M9 clone that I enjoy.
