Geov Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 What is the best option for mounting the Holosun 510c on my Smith 629 revolver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Ha, I was just coming here tonight to find out which mount I needed to put a Holosun HS507C on my S&W 625 Revo. It seems like Allchin and EGW seem to make a mount that will work as long as your revolver is already drilled and tapped. I have an Allchin for a Burris FastFire that seems well made, so I'll probably get another one for the Holosun. Not sure what footprint the 510C uses if you wanted to remove it from the rail to mount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geov Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 The 510c is huge compared to the 507c. It might even actually be too big and I may wrong up going with the 507c. I just thought the large window on the 510c would be nice. Mounting it seems to be a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I would think it woulf have to go on a section of rail and have to use the standard mount. That's how I have it setup on my rimfire pistol open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geov Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 After doing lots of research, I have decided not to mount the 510c on my Smith 629 Classic 44 mag revolver. I have landed on the 507c and will report out once I get it installed and fire a few rounds through it. The 510c is not for hand gun and would introduce lots of problems if I had decided to stay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That combo would make a nice bowling pin gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Phil Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The Allchin is the way to go. Sits the lowest, very sturdy. I have been changing my revos over from the old style "scope mount" rails to the Allchins. PS That advice was originally from a former S&W revo pro.

Shooters Connection had one in stock so I ordered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Phil Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I used several conventional bases on different competition guns over the years. Used Weaver, Burris (I think) and the old B Square mounts. They all put the dot pretty high up. When I was shown the pro's gun, the Allchin sat low! He said it would actually shave time off my draw. Interesting that it really did take a tenth of a second off my draw. A bit more on stages like Roundabout and Smoke & Hope. Switched a couple other guns to the same setup right away. His draw was still faster though LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
