625 S&W and Vortex Venom
This is best way to add a red dot to your revolver . Only be careful opening the package with the hardware .. the pins for the mount are very small & easy to loose !
Great mount
Have to say I don't know why I waited so long to get this. Great quality, mounting holes were accurate. It keeps the sight at a low profile. Mounted this on a S&W 625-8 with a Burris Fastfire III.
Good adapter
Adapter is sturdy and mounts securely. Fit is a bit imprecise, meaning the installer must hold the adapter in horizontal alignment with the frame while tightening. Thread locker is recommended but not supplied. Holster required some modification to accept the gun after the mount was installed. Overall pleased with the performance with a Vortex optic installed.
Works for Fastfire III, but not perfect
Mounted to my 686-6 plus, the frame mounting fit perfectly. Just remove 1 screw to remove the rear sight and slip the new mount into the grove. When trying to add my Burris Fastfire III I noticed something annoying. The kit came with 4 plastic pins to help keep the red dot stable. Not all pins matched the FF3 holes. The 2 in the front of the plate weren't drilled correctly so the right pin wouldn't match the red dot and was out of alignment with the rear holes. I mounted the red dot using only the 2 rear pins and the 2 red dot mounting screws. Even though I'm using only the 2 rear pins and the mounting screws it seems stable and I'm not having issues with accuracy. I really like how low it sits on the frame and it looks great. I've shot around 400 .357 rounds since mounting without issues. I'm only giving 4 stars because of the inaccurate pin placement. But I wouldn't bother replacing it since it is working well anyway.
Choose MRD carefully
This mount fit my S&W 629 perfectly. It said it fits Delta Point, but it does not fit the Pro model. As a result, I spent over $400 for a red dot that can only be held to the mount by two screws. The four post holes on the Pro are much larger than the holes on the the mount and the tiny plastic pins are useless. I will see about making pins and see if they will align or just buy the Leupold mount that matches the Delta Point Pro
