Quote HistoryQuoted: So long as it wouldn't interfere with function, why not put the 45 degree mount on the frame instead of slide? That way you could get it pretty damn close to the slide without needing a ton of bulk hanging off of the slide itself. Frame is relatively weak alloy. I don't trust bolting to it. No show tonight guys. Tomorrow night it's on. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The rule in welding is to add a whole bunch of metal, more than you'll ever need. Then grind off what you don't need. That makes for a lot better and stronger end product and you don't need to worry about pretty beads and shit like that. The bigger the gob the better the job. A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't. I used the metal hot glue gun aka Mig to stick together some target frames out of old t posts and bed frame. This thread has been an inspiration.

If you go with an adapter plate option you could make one normal and one that sits at a 45 also to swap in/out. Call it the 45 Sight Blade.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've never shot a hand gun at 45* so for those that have(probably nobody except John Wick) what is the recoil impulse like and is the return to target similar or would that just be a non starter for a competition gun? I've only shot that way (sort of) when doing one handed drills. Like Chris Baker in this Lucky Gunner article  or this guy.  Maybe not 45 but 30 degrees or so. Recoil is at an angle, trigger press errors are at an angle, bullet trajectory is at an angle so your POI/POA difference can be weird. It's a pain in the ass and would not be even a little bit competitive in any way plus would probably create some weird training scars. I'm not convinced it's even the best way to shoot one handed much less two handed. Build a flat adapter plate instead even if a means a higher HOB. |

I’d put the RDS on the top, the 45 idea is cool but 100% it is going to royally suck especially firing through a tight port or proned out. As a ‘practical’ shooter I’d also be concerned I’d whack or snag the sight on stuff while it was holstered as I’m running around.
I like the offset sights on a 3 Gun rifle, allows me to game some stages better. The looks you get when you’re zeroing a set of Dueck Defense irons on a normal rifle range are priceless. But no way would I do it on a non braced pistol. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So after getting the RMR off the rifle and mocking it up on the slide I see the issue that I read about. The RMR mounting holes are too spread apart when compared with the thin slide to be able to mount conventionally. I will stay true to my word and use this gun in every competition I do this year. That being said, I am competetive and would like to remain as such. I'm worried that making a 45 mount, while hilarious, would hinder me in competition. My alternative is to build up material on either side of the slide and drill and tap that to have a modified traditional mount of the sight. I've never shot a hand gun at 45* so for those that have(probably nobody except John Wick) what is the recoil impulse like and is the return to target similar or would that just be a non starter for a competition gun? A 45* cant is great for shooting one handed. Your grip is stronger in that position opposed to vertical. You can absolutely use it for two handed shooting but should practice as you should be doing anyway. The recoil and impulse is less felt for me at 45* with one hand and about the same with two hands. |

It would look like this. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/227817/IMG_20200321_150037_jpg-1326183.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/227817/IMG_20200321_150048_jpg-1326184.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/227817/IMG_20200321_150130_jpg-1326185.JPG I see an issue. And, I have a solution... If you mount the RMR at 45 degrees and need to shoot offhand, you will not be able to easily see the RMR. At, least it seems that way. Solution: Dual RMRs at 45 degrees. one on each side of the slide. You're welcome. |
