No worries. If I were to buy/build an open gun, it would not be an STI.

STI ("Stacatto") is out of the race gun market anyways and is focused on the duty/tactical crowd. Atlas, BUL, and Infinity are the big players there nowadays, short of buying a true custom piece.

IMHO, the new Stacattos are of a lower level quality than the older STIs. I have held quite a few and the fit is loose (which should bother anyone spending $2500+ on a pistol). The slide to frame fit is just sloppy (not Glock sloppy, but sloppy none the less).

Update: After deciding to dump the frame mounted idea, I asked a bunch of friends to let me compare their dots side by side.
I decided on the Trijicon SRO 5.0 MOA and the will mount it on the EGW Bomar mount. Ordered from Optics planet yesterday and only after doing so realized it is on Backorder UGHH!!! They said expected ship date of 4/29/21

Well, this is finally showing up today from Optics Planet. The Trijicon SRO was only on backorder for the past 30 days.
Any suggestions for pushing out the existing Bomar sight and installing this adapter plate. Hoping that I do not need a sight pusher.
From what I can tell, the sight goes out left to right and the adapter goes in left right, correct?

Not local, but I believe Sti will still keep the factory warranty if you get the milling done by Vulcan.

Thanks. I'm afraid I do not want to cut my slide. Either gonna need a new slide or a whole new gun. New guns are always fun, right?
I don't think that the set screw is meant to go into the slide. It just pushes on the slide and pushes the sight plate up into the dovetail tightening it.

I thought the same thing; however the set screw hole in the mount is not threaded.

I wonder if they sent you the wrong plate. I was looking into the same type of solution for my STI Edge.
What Doc said. Def look like the wrong slide. I was looking at that plate too.
