3d printed a prototype red dot RMR mount for my 357 Rhino. Planned on having the design printed in metal, but the reinforced PLA just keeps holding up with no issues and no loss of zero. 350 rounds with lots of full power magnum loads so far.

I will spend my money with Allchin or EGW as soon as they make a professional version, but nothing out there right now.

it is an extensive DIY with drilling & tapping the top strap with an M3 screw.

I’m not fond of the 60DS forward rail mount as it doesn’t holster well. Holsters are homemade also. (Retired with time on my hands.)

I would pay the $ for a factory mount. Just not one available. At least I don’t have to worry about sacrificing the revolver’s good looks. The red dot pretty much goes with the space cowboy motif.

I’m old enough that shooting irons isn’t easy, nor as accurate as I would like. Red dots on all my handguns is a must at this point. I have noticed that red dots when mounted on short sight radius weapons really brings out the accuracy. My Bodyguard 2.0 wearing a dot is plenty accurate at 25yrds.

Some folks seem to think red dot revolvers are sacrilegious. Mine are for shoot’in. Shoot’in well is a very nice bonus.
