    Jb weld or loctite er on there...

    Seriously though. This is not the first I have heard reports like this. Seems like most end up full circle back to direct mill setups.

    Had an ugly match with my 320/509t using a custom CHPWS plate mounted by them. At first I thought it was me, but this thread made me want to check the plate mounting screws. I knew my shot calling wasn’t perfect, but a number of mikes on tuxedos were called hits....

    EDIT- no visible thread locker residue and screw spun out freely. Other screw felt barely more than finger tight.

    Those witness marks look familiar. Houston, we have a problem.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Just waiting on Loctite 248 for the Amazon fairy and I cleaned the threads with acetone. I’m hoping for success following mounting instructions from @SoCalDep

    Do you guys think it is their 10 in/lbs torque recommendation and lack of proper thread locker or what? I got their plate for my 4" compact, saw 10 in/lbs and thought "nahhhh".

    I'm guessing all of the above, but honestly I don't know. I'm going to use 248 and 15-20 in-lb and see what happens. Considering it took 5 months for CHPWS to produce/deliver the plate once they had my slide, it isn't going back to them.

    Hey guys. Handled a 2.0 compact optics ready gun today. Seems nice and I want to try it out. Is it better to get a regular compact and mill it though?

    I shoot glocks and know it’s much preferred to mill those but not sure if it’s the same with M&p’ sorry not?

    The optics ready pistol is less costly to complete and gives you flexibility to switch optics. However I am not in love with the CORE system and the rear BUIS is like a knife.

    My favorite Compact was direct milled for the RMR footprint with the rear BUIS in front of the optic.

    I just bought my first CORE, mostly because I wanted to try a DPP which was my first non trijicon dot. It is working fine so far after a few practices & one match. It’s mounted with the Chpws plate.

    If doing it all over I’d just mill, slides don’t cost that much and I kind of view them like brake pads.

    I’m kinda torn. I know milling is the better option. But my dealer has the optics ready compact in stock as well has a 507C that I’d want to put on there. I can walk in there today and have it ready to go for like less than a grand.

    Then, if I like it, I could get a regular 2.0 and have it milled. But I like how fast, easy, and cheap I could get set up with an M&p and optic to try out.

    And then on a completely different idea I’ve been wanting a Staccato C2 optics ready but wait time is 3-4 months. I know of a retailer with the iron sighted C2 in stock so thought about getting that and then having it milled for the Chambers plate.
