I used a Swampfox Sentinel, no plate needed. I also use Ameriglo CAP sights, which are slightly higher than the original sights. The optic is low enough & the sights high enough that I can see them thru the optic window.

These guys will fix it so you won’t need a plate. I sent them my slide last Saturday and had it back Friday.

Nameless cut my non-optic slide as well. Fast, great work. I'd totally use them again.

They do great work. My Gen1 slide.  Attached File |

You want a good reliable optic.
If that requires a plate (cheapest/quickest) or modification to the slide (more expensive, takes longer if you can't do it yourself) then you have to ask yourself if you'll be happy not having the optic you really want. I modified the cut (removed the back posts and very slightly shortened the front posts) to mount a Holosun 407K on it. On the next one I used a plate from DPP Titanium. They state it's good for the 407K and 507K, don't know how that fits into the optic you want. It is thin enough that I can still see/use the factory night sights (can see a small bit of the top of the front sight.) DPP Titanium Optic Adapter |

507k x2 will direct mount but you have to mill off the rear lugs and shorten the front ones.

Looks nice, but the supplied screws are too big and the factory screws are too short. By the way, there are 2 protruding lugs at hte front of the slide on the two 30SC recently aquired. What size screw do I need? Source for them? UPDATE: For this optic, #6x32x1/2" button head cap screws fit. The optic appears to be worth $100. However, it is not waterproof. The bottom battery compartment is open. The optic is not really captured by the lugs on the slide. |

One on the left looks a lot like the C&H plate that goes for $50. It allows for much better iron sight co witnesse then the one ton the right. I installed the one on the right as I didn't like not having recoil lugs. But I'm thinking of swapping them out. |

Just purchased a Holosun EPS Carry for my Shield Plus.
We'll see if I need the included adapter plate or not. |

Just received my Holosun EPS Carry green MRS (new batch). It fit my Shield Plus in 30 SC just fine with NO adapter plate. Pistol is also likely recent production. The Holosun is much nicer than the Riton, but slightly bigger. Also, the Holosun is about 4x more $.

It will be getting an EPS Carry. |

I put the Vortex Defender on mine. Fit like a glove, with no plate, no mods. Sights visible in the window. Frame is a little wider that Holosun 407K, but when shooting with both eyes open, it is imperceptible. It is a little wider up front than the slide.
