Any plans for a frame mounted red dot mount? :)

I asked the same question via email.  On 4 April I received this answer:  “We are making a new mount to be compatible. Would estimate about 8 weeks till ready.”  Based on this, should be available the 2nd week of June (I hope)!!

Got the mount installed yesterday.  Had to get longer hardware to be able to use the stock thumbrest/gas pedal.

Did you have any issue removing the rear sight?

No the sight slid right off with a quick tap with a brass punch and small hammer.

I received the optic mount that fits the Race Green, and frankly I’m a bit disappointed in CZC.  Installing the Thumb Rest over the optic mount looks, well, like a Rube Goldberg installation.  Mounting a countersink device over a countersink device… Mounting a thumb rest that has a frame cut out flange over the red dot mount that doesn’t have a flange cut out… Really disappointed in CZC’s design and engineering in this application.  For now I think I will use the optic mount without the thumb rest until I can find a throttle that blends with the optic mount or CZC decides to “blend” the thumb mount into the optic mount.

Installed the side mount without the thumbrest.  Used M4X8 screws which provide sufficient grip length without penetrating the grip wall.  The Slide really requires a Slide Charge Handle to safely handle the weapon, Have one on order.  Arndog762, thanks for the tips.

A slide charging handle is definitely a must have.  Really happy with the ArmoryCraft one on my TSO so got one for the TS2 too.

Slides right in with no effort.  Used blue Loc-tite on the setscrew on my TSO and have never had it come loose.  Did the same on the TS2.

Dialed in at the range today, 10, 15 and 25 yards.  Really looking forward to the “Charging Handle” arriving Thursday!!
