Open guns all have much higher dot over bore than any slide mounted and its a non issue there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigG Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) The lower the better. Low mount is one of the reasons that milled guns are popular. And there are many open guns with the dot sitting sideways in order to get it lower. And on a frame mount it lower the center of gravity. Not a lot but some.

Have you used their Stainless Steel Billet Magazine Catch? Which dot are you running? I had to wait a long time for a second SRO plate to be available. I ended up just buying two because I knew I’d be getting the steel soon. Shoot him a DM on Instagram and he should be able to give you an ETA. I actually just installed one of his mag releases a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what is so great about the smith and Wesson M&P2.0 Metal The plates are so thin!!! It is like the slide is already mold for the red.

I do like it but it’s not really any better than a stock rival one. I got it for 2 reasons. I wanted to try to tool they make for flipping the mag release. I’m a lefty so have to flip all mine and it’s a huge f*#king pain. It was $15 for the tool or $40 for the mag release and the tool. I have one can for home defense that doesn’t have a the ability to screw in different size mag releases so I just upgraded that one and got my tool. Seemed like the smart thing to do. I wouldn’t spend the money to change it out if I already had a rival style mag release though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If plastic sooner or later those metal mags are going to wear it. I do want the extended release button. I assume it also fits the stock release, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nightmare to get back in especially on the steel. I highly recommend not removing it unless you really HAVE to. I use the Taylor freelance extended button on the factory release and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the biggest issue with them. good product but he jut cannot seem to keep them in stock. I got lucky when I bought one for my first grey rival and it was in stock. When I bought my second black one (from you) I had to wait at least a month maybe 2 before he stocked back up. I bought an extra one just in case that time around. Lucky I did because I wound up needed it and they were out of stock again. It is a great product but he needs to figure out how to keep it in stock.
