MOS Style (Plate Systems) vs Direct Milling
Numerous firearms companies offer factory optics ready firearm slides which use varied and often dubious adapter plate systems. Although these systems are conveniently available from the factory and can allow agencies the freedom to select from and install a wide variety of optics on the slide, they often have inherent structural or mounting hardware weaknesses which can result in catastrophic failures in application or use. The most often seen catastrophic failure of ‘modifiable plate systems’ relates to the weakness of factory supplied mounting hardware. The most predominant weakness is often seen in mounting screws being sheared by the reciprocal force of repeated/accelerated firing schedules of law enforcement. Another often seen failure of mounting hardware relates to over-tensioning of screws and/or their repeated installation (or recycling use). Recycling hardware often results in work hardening of the metal and its eventual shear. We, at VMW, have been presented with this problem so often by individual civilians and law enforcement officers, we designed our own mounting hardware capable of taking the abuse of accelerated firing schedules and daily carry. We have also noticed the fact that factory supplied hardware is exceedingly prone to stripping through repeated applications and frequent overtightening, so we modified our hardware accordingly to prevent this as much as possible.
To correct for the inherent weaknesses of factory mounting plates, VMW directly mills your chosen optic to the slide using a method called ‘Cradle Cutting’. This mounting process is not only the most effective option, but also the strongest. Cradle Cutting (direct milling to correct depths) completely supports the optic within the existing material of the slide, and allows us to get the optic lower in the slide (much closer to the bore axis) than all factory supplied optics on the market.This makes the sight easier to find and much faster to pick up when every shot is absolutely critical. Combined with our ability to design and control the size, depth, and geometry of the optics cut, we can guarantee your duty firearm will meet and exceed most physical stresses placed on it from everyday carry to extreme duty use and accelerated firing schedules. With our custom mounting hardware and cradle cut, your optic of choice will have the absolute strongest mounting solution on the firearms market today.
