Once again, we are writing about a mount for handgun collimators, because, as you probably know, this is a global trend that will probably last longer. Let's briefly recall what are the currently available options are for mounting such devices. And so the simplest one is to buy an Optics Ready pistol - i.e. with a factory milled mount for optics (usually there is an option to mount various collimators, but not always), which is covered with a masking plate, when the user decides to use classic iron sights.
One can also take a gun slide to a professional gunsmith in order to mill an appropriate mount for a collimator (a good option especially for owners of older weapons without the Optics Ready option).
You can also use various types of mounts or adapters attached on a slide in a non-invasive way.
The Recover Tactical PCH Slide Picatinny Rail w/Charging Handle belongs to the last type of such accessories, designed for GLOCK pistols.
Under this long name, there is an optics mount integrated with a "dwarf" charging handle. The mount is designed by its creators not only to enable the installation of optics through a short section of a picatinny rail, but also to facilitate faster racking of a gun.
The mount is made of glass-fiber reinforced polymer, which lowers the weight (35g), ensuring smoother operation of the slide. The accessory also allows the simultaneous use of iron sights, which eliminates the need to replace the factory Glock sights with the co-called suppressor height sights.
The mount is installed to the weapon non-invasively, using screws provided by the manufacturer. The whole thing looks a bit massive and it is likely that most of the holsters available on the market will not be able to accommodate a pistol with such a mount, but in return one gets the possibility of mounting virtually any mini collimator and a more reliable grip of the slide when racking it.
The accessory is compatible with all Glock pistol models fed from 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 double-stack magazines, except for the Glock 26 and 27 models.
The price of the new PCH Slide Picatinny Rail w/ Charging Handle is $ 39.95. It is to be delivered to customers in October.
