PB, yes it is a Trijicon mount. I'd like to hear your thoughts when you get yours back.
+1. I have a SA custom shop gun that I have been tempted to mill for an RMR but have been hesitant.

Well, I got her back. Looks pretty good, however I wish I put on an RMR or Holosun on it. I may change it out, and I'm OCD about which optic for which gun and need counseling. For fcks sake. I just think my sight picture is so natural too pick up on a classic 1911, I could have gone elsewhere. What says you mi amigos?

I say that looks pretty darn good! The rounded hood matches the top of the slide well, as does the flat finish. If you've got a Hs507c laying around, and you're feeling adventurous, you could swap it over and see how you like it. I don't know if a flat top optic would look unbalanced or not, but I could live with it as it is and not blink an eye.

That mount is high PB, looks like your RD is perched on top of slide, as opposed to being “buried” in slide.
I’d bet when you present gun it’s necessary to lower gun to find Dot, due to muscle memory.
I’m sure you can adapt to it with a lot of presentations.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
Thanks George, I may change optics but will shoot it first.
Gaijin, not too bad finding that dot with that HUGE window but feel like the SRO probably makes the dot higher which may lead me to an RMR or Holosun.
