Got my CHPWS plate Thursday and I’ll parrot what others are saying, it seems pretty weak, the installation didn’t give me the impression of bombproof.
I’ve never been a fan of mounting multiple pieces together when you can direct mount, so I’m offloading my MOS for a standard gun + machining. Plus now I see the owner seems like a total dick, I feel bad for supporting them. |

...but it's not pushing it or a stretch... Spend time around a lot of competition guys...it's a pretty well accepted fact among them. I wouldn't risk our reputation by spewing BS that I pulled out of thin air. Guys out in the field shooting 30K+ rounds a year on MRDS equipped guns are reporting what I'm saying. That's not how we've built Primary Machine up to what it is now and we never will. You don't have to accept it. I'm ok with that. ;) By the way what your turn around on milling Glock slides right now? I need mine done. I worry too much to continue t carry my Glock 19 mos even though I had to drill the damn screws out to get it off to put this damn new plate you all talked me into. Red loctite is a bit too much I guess. 500 plus rounds and that bitch wasn’t about to budge. Twisted up about 5 Allen keys trying to get it off before I said hell with it and drilled it. If I’d just waited a day or two I would have just left it on since you guys figured out its subpar at best. |

So, while I will not post the entire email, as it was lengthy, Buck does seem to have had an epiphany....
There have been design changes to the V3 plate, most notably with the front recoil indexing posts. These have been rendered complete and "round" so they can absorb more of the recoil impulse thereby relieving stress from the mounting posts. Unfortunately it is still not being made of steel, or 7075 aluminum, but it's a step. Continue to write and provide valid input from a professional perspective, and we may get somewhere here. This is how the message was ended... "Sorry and I appreciate the heads up. Seldom do we get real input from real dudes and I apologize for any perceived sarcasm I might have blended into a response. The internet is full of gun expert design engineers :)" I may take him up on the offer to send a new mount to try, but i am still of the opinion, the mounting screws need to be larger (at least 5-40 x 3/8) and it should be made from stronger materials, but it's a step. |

Picked up the g19 today. Installed the SICO barrel, gl429 sights, x300v and rmr hrs on the CH plate.
First impressions are the ch supplied screws for mounting the rmr were TIGHT going into the threaded post, but they did go in. I haven’t fired a shot with it yet, but it seems like it’s going to work nicely, and I’m happy with it so far. The only improvement I can see would be to make this out of steel, but I think this will work and be reliable. Time will tell

Can anyone post pics of the screws and the plate attached. I'd like to see the interface and if they come close to passing all the way to the end. You can't use bigger screws, since the post must pass thru the RMR. Bigger screws means thinner material for the posts.

I sent my mount back this morning as well as sent out my slide for the Agency AOS conversion from the MOS. I'm not looking forward to the long wait (10-12 weeks) but I know the cut will be right, and the plate (steel) will hold up to just about anything.

Without raised bosses and internal threads, you get very little actual thread engagement - which still isn't ideal. The only good solution would be to not have them raised, but make the plate .050" or so thicker to get that extra 1-1.5 turns of thread engagement. But then you're raising the height of the optic on a system that is already considerably higher than ideal. |

Again, thanks for posting the pic. What if you dove tail the RMR and base? Ala Romeo 1. Sig does that to the P320 series and the other guns for it. That would take care of fore and aft movement. Eliminate the bosses and thread to a steel plate. 6 lbs of torque? Wow.

I don't know if it will help but I sent an email to Agency Arms and asked that they build an MOS mounting plate based off their AOS design that does not require having the AOS system installed, for those of us who just want to mount on our end.
Those of you thinking of selling your MOS guns, you can probably trade your MOS slide for a non-MOS slide like I did OR the AOS system looks fucking legit and they DO offer it on the GLOCK MOS handguns. http://www.agencyarms.com/agency-optic-system-aos-cut |

And more.... "I could write a thesis on why aluminum is better than steel in this case. If steel was the answer, the RMR body would be made of steel and the polymer frame pistol you're mounting it to would be a 1911.

An update, I finally went out yesterday and shot 3 mags out of my 19.5 mos with ch plate and rmr hrs. Zeroed the dot, and it held fine in the three mags I shot. I plan on shooting another 500-1000 before I fully trust it, but I really feel it will work great, rmr screws are basically flush with the bottom of the plate.. I like it. As a side note the GL429 Sights are perfect for this set up. |

I have thousands of rounds through two of their RMR plates with no issues (I believe it may be an older variant since I've had them for a while). I originally used them with the sealing plates and recently removed the plates as I felt they werent terribly necessary with the wider plate. With that said I don't really rack my optic off stuff but they eat a steady supply of NATO ammo.
