RAZZ Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I recently purchased a steel frame Dan Wesson Specialist in 9mm that I really want to put a dot on. My plan was to use the Chambers Custom RMR plate. However after taking it to the range I'm a little concerned that it might affect reliability. The DW is very smooth, but the slide doesn't have a lot of velocity in recoil, and I'm a little worried that adding the dot might negatively affect reliability. That being said, it looks like the Chambers Custom plate set up removes a good bit of metal from the slide, so in the end there might not be much, if any, net gain in weight after adding the dot. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Depending on what rear sight you have now. You may end up with less weight on the slide. Now if the slide speed is sluggish. I would drop recoil spring weight a couple pounds. This may be necessary to minimize brass hitting the RMR any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Don't worry about it. Bullseye shoogers mount 5 o,. Optics on the slide. JUST CHnge recoil springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa-XD45 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I mounted a Holosun 507 on a 9mm Dan Wesson 1911 just to classify in Steel Challenge open division. The RMS & Holosun both weight about 1 to 1.2 ounces. I had not problems with the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Awesome. Plate ordered and slide sent off to get cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
