JTew Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have an AimPoint micro that is going on a Glock 17 with an SJC comp on a KKM drop-in barrel. It can be frame mounted (SJC mount) or AimPoint has a nice slide mount for this optic. I am looking for those that have experience with both types of mounts to get some feedback on the plus or minuses and other experiences that I might want to consider.

the duck of death Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 That Micro look like quite a chunk to be riding the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The Aimpoint weighs 3oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzo Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Frame. I don't even want to imagine what that thing would look like moving on the slide. I would think getting a sight picture on quick doubles would be horrific.... --Lanzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PINMAN44 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The Aimpoint, is really nice but I wouldn't want something of that weight residing on the slide. Just my own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerJoe Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Frame mount all the way… Adding that weight to the slide is definitely going to slow down the cycling. With the comp and that added weight you would need some hefty loads to make it fast and reliable. Most of the time you lighten your slide for an open gun.

JTew Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 It looks like the frame mount is the way to go. Thanks for the information. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
