You are correct that there is a lack of "good" info out there.
I used one of the dozen or so mounts thay offer, the Novak/1911. It is a dove tail X-section much like the Steyr, but it is larger so............ I had to modify it a bit on one of my mills at work. Once I did that, it was a very simple install. The trick is to try to identify what sort of geometry is on your slide, and see if they have a mount that matches. If not, you will have to do what I did. The install is pretty straight forward. The way the mounting plate works with the sight, it cinches it down tight on the slide. Can't speak for all the differant possibilities, but I was surprised how well mine worked out. Next I am going to mfg. a custom mounting plate that is a little lower profile. Titanium should be nice!

Figured it wasn't just "plug-n-play." Thanks for the advice!

Cameron- always enjoy your photos. How do you like your Suunto? I just got the same model myself a couple weeks ago and really like it so far.

Here's my project pistol, steadily becoming my pride and joy. Yes, it's a Taurus. Picked it up for around $500 after taxes used. I had hammer follow issues once I went and shot it, and after much reading, reading, talking, and more reading, went ahead and ordered Ed Brown Perfection Sear/Hammer, and Disconnector. Added a new leaf spring, mainspring, and just recently added a set of VZ Grips, the OperatorII's in slimline, Hyena Brown pattern. They actually came out much less orange than the picture on the site, but this was perfect for me. I took it to the range and 4 of us put 100 rds through with zero issues. This included a fairly petite girl who ended up liking it more than my M4gery or the .22 pistol someone let her shoot. We'll see how she really does at a 3-Gun I'll be attending here in March!
