Can anyone tell me what the plastic spacer that sandwiches between the RDS and the slide does?
I've looked through some pictures online and there are samples (with the same RDS - Shield RDS) that have this spacer installed and some that don't have it installed... Is it just a co-witness or 1/3 co-witness thing? Maybe I'm blind but I swear I looked through the manual a few times and couldn't find anything about it. |

It's the RDS mounting plate. The one downside to the Canik is that the rear sight is mounted to the cover plate you remove to install an RDS. There are 4 plates to accommodate the various RDS mounting patterns. And it's aluminum with steel inserts for the mounting screws. |

This is speaking of the TP9 SF Elite SC, correct? I have 3 sc's without an optic on and 1 with the Shield (just picked up this one today)... best value in a gun out there! |

When you install a RDS, you remove the stock cover plate, install the RDS onto the mounting plate, and then install the RDS onto the pistol with no rear sight. |

That is true with most Caniks however the tp9 elite sc has the rear site dovetail into the slide. The red dot mounts in front of the dovetail. So you have both the dot sight and the rear iron sight. See the pic

No I'M NOT.......... unless the 4 I OWN are all accidents.... pay attention to the MODEL the the OP was talking about... damn... I'l bet you didn't even get past the word Canik and were already typing to "correct" me. If you had read my politely worded response.... you would have seen the clarification of the model I made... and given you a hint. Thanks Alaska for posting the pic.... |

The title of the thead is TP9 Elite SC
Canik has recycled the Elite name now on several pistols. I have a Combat Elite, Executive, and now a Mete. Last time I was on here, I hadn't even seen the new line up on line, in any stores, or on Century's website. So get over yourself. |
