Any issues with an RMR on a 9mm 1911?

[RAZZ]

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?

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.

Don't worry about it.  Bullseye shoogers mount 5 o,. Optics on the slide.  JUST CHnge recoil springs.

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.

Awesome.  Plate ordered and slide sent off to get cut.
