I found one on their website that says it  will fit, I?ll have to try it and see.

I'm looking to mount a red dot on my R1, but I'm having trouble finding a plate that would just slide into the dove tail. I don't want to have it milled to fit one, I tried to contact egw guns and no one will respond. Anyone know of a plate that's made to fit this gun? Thanks in advance.

I would say that?s not bad , I contacted a local ceracoater and he quoted me $300 just to do a tube red dot sight.

OK thanks, that helps.

I guess the question is, as you put it ?not sure if I want to spend that much on that gun? When you consider $300.00 for the slid cut and cerakoteing, plus, say another 3 + for the optic, thats a substantial investment. If you love the weapon and plain to keep it, I?d say, go for it

I plan on keeping it, just wanted to know if I was getting over charged, as long as it's done right and looks good I can live with it. Thanks for the info.

Hey fellas, I have a 1911 I'm looking to get milled to put a red dot on it, the company in my area that does it is charging $300 which includes cerakoteing the slide. My question is, is that a high price, not sure if I want to spend that much on that gun.

Unfortunately that one doesn't have any calls for hogs.

Does anyone use an app on your phone to call hogs or coyotes, I haven't found any that's worth using, I don't want to spend a lot of money on a system I won't use a lot.

I think the Double Tap 200gr hardcast doing 1300fps and 750lbs of energy is what I'll be using, I know those will penitrate any shield, I'm hoping they won't just pass through without doing enough damage for a quick kill. I'll be hunting hogs up in North Florida so not sure how tough a shield they'll have, hopefully I'll get lucky and I'll get good opportunities at ear shots.

So does anyone have any experience with trying to shoot through the shield with a JHP?

My main concern is that I come up on a 150lb hog that I can only get a good shot if I go through his shield,  I'm wondering if in that cause a JHP would expand so much that it uses most of its energy penitrating the shield and not have enough energy to do enough damage for a quick kill.

Almost 300lbs boar...

Underwood 200gr XTP JHP...  25 to 30 yards, 2" below the left ear.  Worked like a charm; drt and a satisfying end to a hellacious fracas.

Thanks for the info, I guess at that distance that round would smash through anythings skull.

I'm considering hunting some hogs with a 10mm handgun, I've done a search and see a lot of people are using JHP, but are hunting deer. I'm just wondering what is the consensus between using hard cast vs JHP for hogs. I'm thinking hard cast with it's penetration is the way to go, but I'd like to hear what people with real experience have to say on the matter.
