Ameiza Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) I'm a lefty and have ejection problems with my current setup- OKO on a RHT mount on my SPS .38 super. Seemingly the ejected brass hit my strong hand thumb every now and then, causing a major malfunction when hit back into the ejection port. I've tried to offset this setup using a steel sheet between the scope mount and frame, but without any luck. Now I want to try a C-more (the OKO is much wider at the back) with an offset scope mount hoping to get more space for ejection. I've considered the Brazos and the Shooters connection offset mounts, and wonder which of them to pick. Has anybody seen both of them? Which is more offset? I like the blast shield on the Shooters connection mount, but is the Brazos more offset? Thanks! Edited December 21, 2006 by Ameiza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhglyn Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I have the Brazos offset mount and CMore on both my Open guns and really like it. Easy to get used to and rock solid. I did not want a blast shield so this was perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterLefty Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I've run the Brazos offset on my gun for three years with no problems. I had a death jam in Brazil this year, but it was because my thumb bumped the brass back into the gun and wedged itself in the hood cut of the slide. It was not fault of the gun but it took about 10 seconds to get it cleared. Kenny (I use the correct hand, which is my left.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the blast shield on the Shooters connection mount, but is the Brazos more offset? Thanks! I dont think anybody has had a chance to use mine yet. It just came out last week. There is the owner of the gun in the pic on my web page who got the first one. As always I tried to find the perfect balance when designing this mount which in all fairness was designed in conjunction with John Alchin. Our mount is offset slightly and raised slightly. Its done in a way that you cant really tell or be bothered by the dot actually sitting on the edge of the gun. I believe we offset it .100 and raised it .050. Just enough to give a wider opening for ejection. With a properly tuned gun and this larger opening it should be close to flawless without being to much out of allignment of the bore. We will be putting our mounts on all our open guns from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not fault of the gun but it took about 10 seconds to get it cleared. sad.gif This is similar to my problem. I assume that if there's more space for ejection, I can adjust the ejector to toss the brass higher and hopefully over my thumb. It is however, super brass, and it might be more tricky than with for instance a nine with lighter and shorter brass. ... in all fairness was designed in conjunction with John Alchin... I'm not sure if I can use it due to the 5 hole Alchin pattern (not without welding and redrilling my frame anyway). Is it possible to get it blank?

Gregory_k Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 If you want a wide open ejection port. Check out this mount in post no. 19. open gun pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtremeShot Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Does anyone have a picture of the offset mount they can post showing a picture looking down the gun? I'd like to see how offset it is. Brazos only shows a picture from the side. Thanks, Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameiza Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 A friend of mine happened to have a Brazos offset mount laying around, so I'll go for that one. Hope it works out fine... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
