I have literally never seen such a thing. It looks kinda like a C-more turned 90 degrees. Sorry for low quality pic. I just snipped it from a YouTube video I was watching and it wasn't vey good quality there. Attached File Attached File |

C-More at 90 degrees to lower the height of the optic I did something similar with a T1 Attached File |

I had worked on only a couple of guns sporting those mounts, everyone else had the traditional frame mounts. |

Think that’s not an actual mount? Attached File |

I recently updated my old open gun from one of these. I really liked it since it put the optic very low over the slide. Made it easy to switch between irons and the dot. Attached File Attached File |

I had worked on only a couple of guns sporting those mounts, everyone else had the traditional frame mounts. It was a bit later I think. In the early 00’s most were still vertical. I did most of my USPSA shooting after 07 and it felt like there was a definite uptick in that time. Cmore had a huge following and I think they could have kept the market had they released some updated stuff. I still have a couple I bought for cheap during amazonapocalypse for projects. Still sitting in a box somewhere. |

Thanks  I was editing the OP when someone answered already. Yeah, the video says it's 14 years old. I had no idea that was a thing. I have never been into competition shooting, and only recently dipped my toe in. I wasn't paying attention back then. Attached File |

Odd way to install an optic when you can mill the slide for a dot, but you do you. I had the same pistol, and really liked it, so your taste is good there

They fumbled the ball and then kicked it out of bounds when they tried to move into the MRDS market with their RTS. I never owned one of those, but I know some diehard C-more customers were thoroughly disgusted with the RTS series. I've heard more than one tale of multiple broken sights, sent back for repair, then broken again. |

The Double Alpha mount was the best solution I could come up with and DA didnt even know if it would work on a railed 1911 when I asked them prior to purchase. Works like a charm though I need to do something with the empty dovetails. |

I've heard more than one tale of multiple broken sights, sent back for repair, then broken again. My older open gun was built during that mess, my builder/smith recommended the traditional C-More since he had a rotation of 3 RTS sights to shoot matches at the time. One on the gun, one spare and one back at C-More at any one time. The old C-more was very reliable for me on the 90degree mount, but I upgraded that gun to the same mount/sight as my newer one (and had some popple holes added to make them closer in power factor to use the same ammo). |

I don’t even think you could, you’d have to machine pic slots in the side as that’s usually what those larger red dots use for a mounting system. I’d use an SRO, 507 Comp, Defender XL. Pick one. |

About the only other way you see a T1 on a 1911 is via a rail section on the slide. This puts the optic higher than mine plus creates issues with slide movement due to the added weight of the optic and whatnot. The KC method puts the optic low but you still have the mass of the optic to deal with. |

| I thought it was a Russian optic until you guys figured out it was a C-More. They have, or had an optic very similar to that, but it was for the side mount on the AKs. I've never seen one of those in person, but they were on a website describing all the different Russian optics. The Russians probably saw the C-Mores mounted like that in competition, and made their own version. It was released back in the 2003-2010 era. |
