We would need to make the adapters out of steel, I wouldnt feel comfortable with that small dovetail in AL. We have a design for a 1913 rail adapter as well. Ill post a picture of that when I get a chance.


Thanks for keeping us up to date on this and letting us ping our thoughts off of you regarding it.



Also I noticed the slide and mount are milled with a dovetail, you guys are on the ball.

Concerning the position if the BUIS someone is bound to ask about having the mount milled further forward with the BUIS on the aft, because that is how Chris Costa likes his.

Thanks, we are always looking for good feedback.



The dovetail was an essential, and very necessary part of the design, we plan on conducting some static zero-hold tests when we get them in and will post results.



RE the BUIS. Unfortunately we cannot move the sights to the back, I do wish we could offer it both ways, but on the glock, it would severaly impinge the plunger channel to the point that the plunger and spring would require modification, or you would need to completely remove the internals to get the adapter plate off.



Thanks
 
Its possible on the M&P, however, using the stock atom plate, aesthetics will be poor as the tab will extended into the reliefed area of the slide.


How about some special order parts just for the M&P.

I could probably do that, we would need a minimum of 25 buyers to pay upfront though. I'll re-visit it once we get the main product out there.


Good to hear, keep us informed.

Goteron,



If you have already answered this in a previous post, I apologize. How much height does adding the adaptor plate add as opposed to direct mounting of the optic to milled slide?



It doesn't seem to be much and I think the versatility would outweigh the minor increase in height.



You may want to touch base with Safariland and check to see if their new dedicated optic holster will accommodate the added height of the plate. I only suggest this for your military and law enforcement customers who will have to run the optic in a duty holster will ask.



I do think these mounts are genius. One hang up I had was having the slide milled for a specific optic then a better optic coming out.

With all that aluminium it might tend to lower the weight.

Unity Tactical is proud to open the Pre-Order list for our Atom Mounting System. It is the most modular and adaptive system for mounting an optic to your pistol available.



This Pre-Order is only for Glocks (To exclude .45’s). We are actively working on the M&P system followed by .45 caliber Glocks.



Initially we will offer adapter plates for the following optics:



• Aimpoint T-1

• Trijicon RMR

• Leupold Deltapoint

• Insight MRDS

• Glock Iron Sight / Blank Adapter



The pre-order list is first come first serve, we hope to keep lead times as short as possible, however an initial rush may be encountered. Once you are on the list you will get an email when your number is up.



You will send your slide(s) to Mark Housel at L&M Precision Gunworks, LLC for the service. L&M will have adapter plates on-hand and will complete all of the services at this shop.



Mark Housel

1621 Spruce Canyon Drive

Prescott, AZ 86303



Mark is well known in the industry for his attention to detail, quick turn-around times, and fair pricing. You will work directly with him to complete your order.



We have established some PRELIMINARY pricing, it is subject to change, but should not fluctuate much if at all.



• Slide Milling with Refinish of Milled Area - $175

• BUIS Dovetail – Optional - $35 – BUIS can only be mounted in front of the optic, not behind.

• Ameriglo Suppressor Height BUIS- Optional - $45

• Adapter Plate of your Choice - $45



Mark also offers a host of other services that will be available at the same time if you are interested.



One note about the BUIS. The BUIS dovetail depth must be reduced slightly as well as the Dovetail depth on the gun. The BUIS that you purchase with this system can only be used on an ATOM equipped gun. You cannot use any other BUIS without modification (Unless you use an Iron Sight Adapters) – This is not our attempt to sell more Iron Sight Adapters, but rather a constraint put on us by the safety plunger channel.



The Pre-Order list is non-binding, You will have 14 days to send your slide in once we send notification. If you do not, we will assume you are no longer interested and bump your spot. Please do not pre-order if you do not intend to have the service completed. It will slow the process down.

Subject: Atom Preorder



Name - Required

Email Address – Required – Please include in the body of the email.

Thank you

Once you get rolling what are you guys shooting for as far as turn around. I was planning on getting a similar service done on all my m&p pistols one per month. However, I sent the first slide at the beginning of march just to get milled and have yet to see the thing back. Last I heard over a month ago was one week.



The service on this device looks a bit more complex than a slot in the slide with an endmill and a couple of tapped holes. If you could get these down to two weeks I am sure you would get lots of jobs.
 
Any updates Goteron?
 
The prototype looks nice. However, to mill every slide or sell slides already milled that might fit a a wide variety of add-on optics seems like a lot of commotion to offer to the shooter audience-at-large. In my opinion, a more simplistic solution is already available in the format of a rail mounted platform for the M&P that basically transposes the integral rail to an above slide rail; very inexpensive, no modifications to primary gun necessary, install / remove in seconds. What's not to like ?

Even looks good on a SIG !

I think between the expensive, milled in version, and the add on bracket that eliminates holstering, I would split the difference and get one that fits in the M&P dovetail, even if it doesn't have BUIS. I think I saw the Trijicon mounted in one. Maybe competition will drive the cost of all these sights down some time, I'm wishing.
If money were no object, the Unity Tactical mount would be the hot ticket, needs to be on every SWAT pistol hanging in a thigh holster out there, in my opinion (at least based on how solid it looks).
