T1 Mount: LaRue vs. ADM

[Cameron]

I just ordered an Aim Point T1 and Larue Tall mount directly from Larue this morning.

I doubt that you can go wrong with either. I picked the Larue purely for aesthetics. it looked better to me.

I voted ADM I have Larue. I like not having to adjust the mount. Sounds like a cool idea. That said, I will be moving to Bobro once he releases his mini acog mount.

The ADM is a good mount. But I've had two that wouldn't lock (the tiny lock that holds the throw lever in place). The culprit seemed to be tiny spring... Not exactly a major issue as the locks are more of a back-up to keep from inadvertently flipping the throw lever. The CS was excellent and I wouldn't be upset if it was all I could get.

I prefer the simple design of the LT mounts. There just seems to be less that could go wrong (backed up by my very limited experience with 4 or 5 of each).

My choice would already be made if the BOBRO mount was out.
Probably beating a dead horse, but is there any word or rumor at all of when their T1 mount will be out?

Interesting post, thanks for the info. Although a few people criticize LaRue mounts for needing to be adjusted, I actually like it. The mechanism is simple, robust, and I do prefer to make it a little tighter just to be assured that even if it manages to snag it'll hold tight.
Thanks.

If quick release is not a priority, check out the Daniel Defense mount. It gives a 1/3 cowitness, is lightweight, and rock solid. It is my favorite fixed mount.

I have the larue for a QD mount and it rocks for it's simplicity. Although I have lots of TD grips with ADM levers that haven't failed so to me both mounting systems are GTG.

Not on your list, but I've changed mine over to Daniel Defense having tried LT and ADM. I found I had no use for the throwlever.

Like Rob posted above, I've had 2 of the LT's, sold them off for 2 DDs.

As he also said, I didn't need the QD, dropped an ounce or so overall & saved some $. That being said given your choices I voted LT.

i'd go with whatever is self-adjusted mount.

like Bobro and GGG. and i think ADM is too.
