Holliday89 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Love the mount just like mine from Mellinium Custom. Where did you get the pistol stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckbradley Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 CenTX,Great post. Thanks for the information. I just ordered a new blaster from Shooters Connection and I'm going to install the Barry mount on that gun. I send Chuck at SC Barry's email address so maybe Shooter Connection will be offering the mount for sale soon. PJ I dont know if I got it. Not sure how it would work with our sidewinder racker. Would have to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it from a vendor at the Space City match three or four years ago. I don't remember who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for any info I can find as I'm looking at the swap pretty seriously. Both of my current guns have Chuck's mounts and Sidewinders. I bought a Barry mount and haven't put it on yet, but I did line it up on the pad of the SC mount, and then in front of the SC mount to gauge offset on the dust cover and it looks like it might actually squeak by. I was thinking at most it might take a little trim on the edge of the Barry and maybe a notch in the Sidewinder (or a slight bend if possible) and it should be doable if it won't quite make it now. I know Derek told me he's been taking a bit off of the Barry mounts to make them a little smoother and smaller...but there's only so much you can remove. Anywone if you or anybody else has tried this, inquiring minds want to know! R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt2ace Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Brownell's sells a straight racker that Holliday89 has on his gun. I am using the same one only I angled it for clearance with my holster. This is another case where the Barry mount is easier to setup and use for lefties than righties. If you want a racker on the left-side of the gun with a Barry mount, it is going to take some creative engineering. I think this is an opportunity for one of the many parts mfr.

nbright Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 My shorty has been giving me fits with ejection problems. For some reason this particular gun wants to eject a case or two per match closer to 12:30 rather than the usual 2'oclock. I have tried different loads, extractors, aftecs, shaping the ejector, same headstamp, new brass etc but I still could not get it to run 100%. I'm now giving the Barry mount a spin and the first range test yesterday was 300+ rounds and flawless ejection every time. I'm looking forward to the real test (matches) but for now my hopes are pretty high. The racker is a Sidewinder and there is no way it will clear the CMore so I moved it to the right side and it gives it a nice backwards look. Kinda matches the shooter every so often so I think I'll keep it for now. At the end of practice I didn't even notice the CMore and I do like how tight the dot is to the slide. Anyone else use a Barry to cure ejection ills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I use a Barry on my 9mm Open gun so that I can use any old brass I can get my hands on. It turned my gun into an ammo trash can, if the ammo will fit in the gun it will fire and eject!! With conventional C-more mounting I had to be much more careful with my brass, a dinged up case would jam the gun if it ejected too high and bounced back in. Now it just runs and runs even with really beat up brass, as long as it fits the case gauge it will run in the gun. I have extremely limited time for loading, sorting brass and things like that are just out of the question so to me the mount has been a life saver. The ejection pattern on this gun is very well tuned so the mount didn't 'fix' anything, with good brass it will stack them up when they eject but it drastically increased the tolerance the gun has for dinged up brass.

Nice. I did get a better pattern with new brass and ran it for a few major matches this past year still with mixed results. For local matches I use once fired brass and the inconsistency in the pattern is obvious. If I get through the first quarter of '09 with no failures it will be a success for me.

HSMITH Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 If it isn't running 100% with decent brass making decent ammo, decent mags and the Barry mount something is wrong with the gun, if you have a good 9mm plumber in your area take the gun and have it looked over. If you don't have one in your area I would send it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeInNePa Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've wondered about these mounts. I like the idea of getting the dot closer to the barrel. But looking at the pics from the backside of the gun it looks like the mount takes up an awful lot of your field of view to the left. It seems like it would kinda be in the way on left side transitions. Was/is this an issue? Not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Boost? Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 One of my open guns has much more parallex than the other, will this mount correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt2ace Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) The parallax is significantly lower with the Barry mount..... Edited March 29, 2009 by matt2ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txkid Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I just got my Barry Mount so I can replace my OKO red dot to a C-More last week. It is great to not need to hold the gun low for locating the red Dot. Anyway, I was just wondering how you guys (experts) sight in you C-More. The way I did mine was to hold the gun on an angle so the C-More is parallel to the earth and made the shots, and then make the adjustments. I just didn’t like the draw an X on paper (instead of +) and make the adjustment thing. This might work for some folks but for a simple guy like me holding the gun on an angle was just simpler. Is there an easier way sighting in a Berry Mount/C-More, I am just seeking. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt2ace Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 If it worked, it is not wrong. +1 I have gotten pretty good at adjusting both screws to get vertical or horizontal adjustments, but it does tend to take more shots to sight these in. I am going to try the 'angle' technique next time I need to sight mine in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
