Trijicon RMR mount for???????????????

[Guest BCR#1]

I picked up a like new version one tonight for what I thought was a killer deal, maybe not though, and I really have no idea what I will mount it on. I'm leaning towards a God forgive me, FN 509 in 45ACP for use as a practical pistol gun. I already have an FN FNX .40S&W I could use but would have to have the slide milled down first.

Your thoughts if you're so inclined to do so.

I'm in the market for one, what was your killer deal?

[TomInMN]

I think the 509 is 9mm only. The FNX is available in .45 but is a hammer gun.

$250.00 like new with the hard case, two batteries and all paperwork. It was listed on CL of all places under sporting.

That's defently a deal

After looking at my FNX .40, I don't want the gun messed with so I'll just put the RMR in the safe until I find an optics ready pistol that I like. Maybe a Sig 320 or similar, don't know yet.

Just be aware that Sig tends to cut their slides for their own optics.  The exception is that the more recent P320 RXP X-series guns are cut for their Romeo 1 Pro which shares the same footprint as the Leupold Delta Point Pro.  They wouldn't have done this if it weren't for Sig getting the Army's pistol contract and Leupold getting the optic contract. 

If you want to run an RMR on a Sig, you're better off buying the P320 you want in a non-optics variant and then getting an aftermarket slide for it from someone like Zev Technologies or Norsso.  Or having the plain slide milled for an optic.

Thanks David, you're a wealth of knowledge. I guess an FN 509 is back in the running now too but I still loath striker fired pistols.

Have you looked at any of CZ's offerings? Lots of hammers in their catalog.

Ah, thanks man.  I appreciate the kind words.  I'm just trying to share what I've learned to make it easier for others.

 

If I were wanting a lighter weight, affordable, hammer fired gun with an RMR these days, I think I'd probably pick up a CZ P-07 and have someone like Cajun Gun Works, JaegerWerks, Primary Machine, etc. mill the slide for me and cook up something like this...

Bill,

I was a die hard DA/SA guy, so much so that I spent up on my two CZs.

The 75B Omega went to Cajun Gun Works and the P01 came from CZ Custom as their SDP.

Unless I dry fire practiced virtually daily, @Cruel Hand Luke would flog me with conviction and compassion regarding the difference in the initial and follow up trigger press and the necessity for consistent practice.

Much like a revolver, an extra level of dedication to shoot well, consistently.

I tried a bunch of striker fired and finally discovered Beretta's APX series, it's a winner for me.

The RDO is milled, however Beretta doesn't offer suppressor height sights (or anyone else for that matter)

Good luck with your search!

CZ P10c?

Thanks for all the help guys.

You can put those on rifles or shotguns too.  Lots of applications.

Now this is something that truly appeals to me. Trouble is, I doubt there are any available for sale right now.

Thanks David and Tom for your suggestions.

They're around. I've seen two (that I can remember...) on my local guns for sale website in the last month or so.
