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. |

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. |

I really don’t get why he insists on using aluminum. This guy is completely in denial. To top it off he is basically admitting that his claims of 100k testing was completely bs as we already suspected

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 ![]() ![]() ![]() |

My C&H V3 plate has 1300 rds so far and has been cycled using my hand on the RMR to rack it plenty of times. It’s holding up fine so far.

Screws need to thread through the post to the bottom of the plate without touching or at the most slightly touching the slide underneath.
|

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.

I emailed them today about the posts shearing off when mine dropped and they said they are sending me out a new one. Mentioned that they know why the posts sheared off and the issue has been addressed. I'm interested to see the changes.

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’ve run approximately 1400 rounds through my G34.5 MOS with the CH plate with no issues. I’ll update if that changes.

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 |

@Honda4828
Enlighten us on the "correct" Trijicon plate. |

|

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.
