Great mount! Good mount. I originally got the Burris FastFire II with the speed bead mount. That mount is junk which is why I got this one, which is what I shoulda got in the first place.

The Burris mount for the Glock 19 is very easy to install & works very well. Its just a shame that the mount has to be purchased separately - no fault of Optics Planet. Was nice to get everything all at once - and with great customer support.

Excellent product. The Burris Fastfire with this mount give you a small, light, high quality set up that get's your dot low and as close to the bore axis as possible. It's easy to remove the rear sight and install this mount. You do need to be sure you install the mount "level" as it's possible to install it at a slight angle. The main drawback to the Burris system is having to remove the sight/mount in order to put in new batteries but thankfully that's not very often!

Fits perfectly, and sized accordingly. Incredible simple and quick to mount a Burris Red Dot sight on a Marlin 336 and get shooting.

Currently on my AR-10 atop my 3-9x40 scope using the Burris AR-PEPR. This mount has already proven itself by protecting my FastFire II when a full magazine fell on it with no damage. Excellent construction and easy to mount. Recommended!

This item was installed on a G34 slide. The fit to the dovetail was very good.

This mounting plate does NOT fit a Weaver mount. The mounting plate tightening screw is too thick and it hits the bottom of Weaver mount groove. This in turn prevents the mounting plate bottom from making full contact with the Weaver mount top. So the mount rocks front to back. Tightening the mounting plate screw will only result in a friction fit, since mounting plate and Weaver mount do not mate. Also, the thick screw causes the mounting plate to rock sideways, as exact mating of mounting plate rails with Weaver mount sides is impeded by the the thick screw. Again, tightening the mounting plate screw will force a friction fit. The mounting plate screw would have to be filed down at the risk of damaging the mounting plate rails. This is very disappointing since the FastFire 2 red dot is superb - but what good is it if I can not mount it reliably? I do not intend to file down the grooves in all my Weaver mounts to accommodate for this mounting plate.

It would be a perfect product if Burris would add a protective arch across the top of the mount to add more protection and rigidity. Other than that, this is an excellent product.

Would recommend:  yes

when properly mounted this makes a nice low slide mount for a fastfire to a 1911 but there are some problems first the dovetail slide is under size and you should make a new one second all the screws are to short(i hope you have akit with 6/48 screws) and you still need to drill and tap one hole in the top of the slide
