Decided to go ahead and bite the bullet on a SJC micro dot mount. After some work on my 9mm loads, the slide mount is working okay, but not to the degree that i want it to.

I have not received the mount yet (just ordered it actually), but wanted to throw this out there; SJC has some seriously on the ball customer service. They had some issues with their latest batch of mounts that will extend the delivery time, and they notified everyone on the list immediately to let them know. I haven't had any dealings with them in the past, but I'd say that's a good sign!

Will have pics and thoughts up when I get it installed. Oughta be an interesting couple of weeks!
