    I haven’t had any issues. Have you heard of any?

    Custom red dot mount for M&p R8

    Hard shooters I have talked to concur with my experience. Even one of their oficial factory shooters in Europe. One of their spokespersons concurred too when I took his class. I don’t want this to turn into a pissing contest. Just giving a heads up so people don’t waste their money and then...

    Custom red dot mount for M&p R8

    That “fix” only gives it one more week of battery life. Still pretty sad coming from the company that ridiculed all other optic companies for their battery life. They may get it right in the gen2 version, but for now they’re not a duty option.

    Custom red dot mount for M&p R8

    I hate to say it but I had removed it from my other weapons due to the poor battery life. They failed miserably in that department. Could have been a game changer if it wasn’t for that. Instead Holosun 509 took that trophy.

    My luxury dry fire setup in the guest bedroom. :D Crazy how much faster and accurate it is with the red dot. Prepping for a Run N Gun Biathlon this Saturday.

    8-Shot .357 Magnums - What a Great Idea!!!

    8 shot .357s is why I got a revolver. I love my M&P R8! I want to find 3” variant as my concealed carry.

    I’m not home now to be able to take a pic. I’ll do it as soon as I get back.

    Thanks. It’s a rail section for the MantisX dry firing training sensor.

    Custom red dot mount for M&p R8

    It’s just like a drill bit that is flat on the end. No clue what it’s called.

    Front is a Dawson Precision 050-726. They still produce but you have to call it in because it’s no longer showing online. Rear is from Meprolight ML-22771-RS. I don’t know about perfect but more like acceptable. :D I did it in a drill press. Don’t own a proper mill.

    Thanks! I’m not a machinist so I’m happy it came out well. I may mill it a bit lower so I can see iron sights. They are just out of the window of the red dot.

    Custom red dot mount for M&p R8

    I’ve never liked the available optic mount solutions for the S&W R8 revolver. They sit way too high on the rail or you lose the rear sight. I don’t have the skills to mill for an RMR so I went another route. The easiest mounting surface to mill is for the Aimpoint ACRO and Holosun HE509T. The...
