What is the forum preferred MOS mounting plate?
The one that has the proper length screws for the MOS guns?

Edited- what is a preferred mounting plate for MOS Glocks for the RMR?

Trijicon is AC32064, this is for the sealing plate and short screws.

AC32099 is for the adapter plate alone.

I was looking into these, http://www.battlewerx.com/repl...ck-mos-trijicon-rmr/ but ended up with a plate from chpws.com

jljones if you only need the screws and can wait till the po can deliver cross country I can send you some.

I appreciate it, man. I’m actually just looking to stock up on extras to go with my spare parts stash.

Looks nice. Great how it fills in the gaps at the front and rear of the optic. But it's also a tad spendy, at least to me.

C&H or Forward Controls Design. I've used C&H on a number of guns, including Glock MOS. They make great stuff. Forward Controls Design receives unanimously good reviews.

I have never had an issue with the stock Glock one but have also used the C&H one without any specific issues or advantages of note.

I have flirted with the idea of getting a chpws for my G19 MOS for my holosun. I'm not sure if it will any better than the Glock MOS plate that I am currently running. I do not know of what advantage(s) it will bring, especially due to the price.

I would choose the C&H plate based on the recommendation of Steve Fisher, Jedi and several others.

It fits substantially better, places the optic lower, provides better optic to plate fit (taking stress off the screws), has replaceable threaded T nuts, and is milled instead of cast, so it won't snap like many MOS plates eventually do.

This is not a knock on the CHPWS plate. I have several and have no issues with them. Mine are not the current V4 so I don't think you can buy what I have anymore. But compared to the std. MOS plate the optic location change is not material, the replaceable nuts mean nothing, who the heck wears out these threads? and I have never seen a mounted MOS plate snap in my tens of thousands of rounds and by observation probably hundreds of thousands of rounds by MOS glocks at matches. It is better in how it supports the optic if that matters to you...

Thanks guys. Sorry Jones, I didn’t mean to hijack your thread.

The benefit of the T nuts is not "wearing out" a thread, it's being able to deal with a cross-threading if one occurs. I have not done it on a pistol dot, but I have seen it on an Aimpoint and a couple clones. It's uncommon, but it sucks.

I have seen the MOS plates break. If your optic goes on the plate and the plate goes on the gun and does not get tweaked up on one end, it will probably serve a good life. If not, it will likely eventually snap. The cast plates are very brittle and will not withstand repeated stress like that.

I wasn’t precise. I have seen Glock plates break when the moron who put it on the gun didn’t use the correct length screws. I have never seen a properly installed one break.

I have a CHPWS plate and it seems solid and includes all the proper screws.
