FastFire Mount for S&W M&P9

I installed this mount on my S&W M&P 9 with the UM TACTICAL Delrin 1.0 Degree Shim. I used a MGW sight mover tool to get the rear sight off (HARD). The replacement dovetail was easy to install with a few light taps of a hammer. I had no trouble zeroing the Fastfire III sight. After 20 rounds, the sight did not move. Only time will tell if it will hold zero. It should be noted that the mounting plate is held to the dovetail with two screws, but only the one on the left presses on the dovetail slot. The screw on the right presses on the spring loaded plunger spacer. My kit did not come with instructions, but when I called Burris about 3 washers included in the kit (they said they should not be used) they did not mention this.

P226r mounting

Just mounted this on my P226r 40 cal Sig last night. Had a gun smith press the factory rear sight out, but his press would not press the new dove tail in. I struggled finding the centerline, per the instructions I put the two screws in the dove tail and pressed it in wth a small C clamp and wood spacers. After that it all fit perfect and was easy. Going to the range today to sight it in. Will add to this when I return.
