EarlKeese Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 As the title states, I'm curious which orientation people prefer for C-More mounting on a pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrdoran Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I've had them both horizontal and vertical on rimfire and open pistols. I prefer 'normal' vertical, unless the ejection pattern demands that it must be rotated. The whole get the dot lower and closer to the bore in my opinion doesn't have much applicability in steel challenge. I was and continue to be able to switch back / forth without issue in terms of my eyes and dot acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolver45 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Upright, especially on the rifle. Use the American Defense Manufacturing quick mount with it and you have the best setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
open17 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Upright on rifle. 90º on pistol I run my USPSA Open guns 90º, primarily because of consistent ejection with range brass 9mm. Built my 22/45 steel guns later, and went 90º to stay consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flageo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 When I was using the c more railways on my Volquartsen scorpions I had them mounted on the Striplin 90 mount. It did move the dot closer to the bore - which I found to be beneficial. I recently switched over to c more rts2 - which I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto_wrench Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Upright. I feel like it makes it a little easier to keep that proud, head up posture that helps get the eyes and head leading transitions in steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornetx40 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The 90 degree mount blocks your view to the left. Since you are supposed to be looking past the dot and not at it, and your gun is moving sideways. Why put something in the way of your picking up the next target when moving to the left.? It all comes down to personal preference in the end and what works best for you. Don't be afraid to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I snap my head to next target left and when my dot appears I release the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlKeese Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Thanks for the votes and comments. I'm trying to get a manufacturer to produce a mount for a specific gun and needed some info for them to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I honestly do not see the need for a 90 degree mount in SCSA. Even for USPSA I like vertical. I shot a Slideride for years frame mounted on my Open gun with no issues. The only thing you had to remember was to hold over on those 5 yard head only shots.

One of my S.C. buddies swears by his 90° mounts. I could go either way and all of mine are currently mounted upright(pistols & rifles). We're both wanting a c-more mount for the same platform so I figured a survey was in order. Now to convince the manufacturer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmojo Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Big fan of 90 degree mounts with C-Mores for both steel challenge (Volquartsen) and open gun (Steel Master 2011). I find it faster to pick up the dot when coming on target, whether from low ready or from the holster. I have a vertical mounted C-More on my .22 Keltec CP33 that I use for action steel matches. Even after several months, I still have to slow down to find the dot during target transitions. Not so with a horizontal mount. In reality, it's probably just a matter of what you get used to...
