Red dot - dovetail mount? - 08/06/23
I have aged into the need for red dots on my handguns None of mine are 'optics ready'. I'm wondering about the dovetail mounts designed to replace the rear sight. Does anyone have any long-term experience with durability of these mounts? I'm aware that they move the sight higher relative to the bore but I'm more concerned with how secure they are and if they loosen up over many rounds or somehow affect the life of the optic. For reference, these would be mostly on 45acp and 10mm pistols.
Trying to decide if these mounts are a viable alternative to having the slides milled. Thanks!
