sfinney Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I've heard that according to some, "low mounting" Bomars on Glocks is acceptable for Production - does anyone know who performs the milling well, and reasonably? Also, does this low mount use the standard BCMS sight, or the flat version that screws on, rather than using a dovetail? And is this definitely legal, or will it bump into Limited?

Flexmoney Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 It is legal. It won't be very cheap though. The Glock slides are hard. Milling them is supposed to be tough on the equipment and takes extra time. Expect to pay for this. I think that Matt at Custome Glock Racing does this work. I do not know the quality. I assume it would be good, or he would make it right. He has an online reputation to uphold...and, I don't recall ever seeing anyone that has been upset with his work.

DBChaffin Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 EGW performs this service also. I think it is $175 for the full "low mount" installation. Go to: http://www.egw-guns.com and look under gunsmith services and then Glocks under various other guns. George is a great guy and I'm sure he would be happy to discuss the work with you.

TDean Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Why not get the "drop-in" Bo-Mars from Brownell's? So it hangs off the back of the gun 1/4".....heck that gives you a longer sight radius..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hmmm, for $175, perhaps a Caspian slide already milled for Bo-Mar might be attractive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I'm pretty sure a Caspian Slide would not be a legal mod in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 The problem with the Bomar sight for Glocks (besides hanging off the back end of the slide) is that it sits so tall on top of the slide, requiring HUGE front sights. Maybe I should just put an adjustable MMC on it, and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 [blasphemy Mode ON] Do you really NEED adjustable sights in Production? I'm just running fixed sights and don't have any POI issues. It seems like a whole lot of time, effort and moolah to put in a gun for a division that isn't that competitive anyway. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Shtr40, the taller front sight isn't a big deal. I have Dawson's fiber-optic that measures .275" tall. Yes it's higher than most guns, but combined with Glocks lower bore-axis, it's a very natural feeling sighting system. I like it, and that's not because I spent $$ on it. Hell I've got AshleyO's and MMC's in the junk drawer because if this Bomar/Dawson set-up. Eric, you are probably right....too bad. The street-gun Nats will be attractive to great shooters, but most will be shooting Lim-10. (TravisT, LisaM) Hey Brian, you shooting Lim-10 this year? Between you and Travis, Robert gotta be nervous..... (Edited by TDean at 8:44 pm on Feb. 26, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 EricW, are you running stock sights on your Glock, or aftermarket fixed sights? I have a Fiberoptic "Hi-Vis" on the front which measures @ .165 high, I'm afraid if I stick on a fixed sight it won't be the right height - I was looking at a Heinie fixed, but they reccommend a .210 or higher front sight - so I thought of the MMC. Buy the way I shoot different loads from the gun, with 2 barrels, so an adjustable sight is probably needed (Minor and Major). Thanks for the help! TDean - I'll take a look at Dawson's sight. Thanks!

EricW Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 S40, I'm running a set of 2nd hand Trijicons on mine. (I shoot my actual carry gun in Production.) I have no clue about mixing and matching fiber optics with regular fixed sights. It's probably going to be problematic - just like you suspect.

JZ Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Does anyone have any photos of a Glock with low mounted Bomars as done by EGW or CGR? (Edited by JZ at 9:24 am on Mar. 19, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZELEK Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Thats the coolest looking sight install on a Glock that I have ever seen! I just can't figure out how its held in? Wouldn't you have to mill off the dovetail on the sight to slide it in from the back and if thats done what holds it in? A setscrew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Magic. I haven't seen one. I am pretty sure it would be held with a set-screw though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Perez Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 does anyone know if the frontsight has to be replaced with a higher or lower [than stock] blade? [when a bomar is installed] Or will the standard height be sufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 A taller front sight WILL be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 TDean, You are talking about a setup with a slide-in Bomar, right? Not the milled-in version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Are the heights different between the two? It looks as if the "milled" BoMar installation just brings the assembly foward and flush with the back of the slide. Does it also lower it too? Dawson's website lists 3 different front-sight heights for the Glock: Std, Heinie and BoMar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Well, I don't know if the milled-in is a different height than the drop-in, or not. That would be a good question to ask the guy doing the milling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I think they are the same height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Drop in Bomars require a .275 tall front. Melted in height varies, usually .225 to .245 I wil post some pics soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
