hello,
I'm looking for a pistol rail mounted optic that also includes a thumb rest - looking to avoid the slide mounting options

looks like this one. an interesting design, but, i fail to understand how it can hold zero to be at least 1" good at 25yds with getting locked on a soft plastic of glock or sig frame.@chrismshanks
I saw the mount you're looking for at a match yesterday. It's made by Carver Custom out of Jacksonville, Florida. Their website is a bear to navigate, you might be better off calling them.

That mount is fixed to the locking block as well as the frame rail. I wouldn't consider a Glock frame to be "soft" plastic, but I know what you mean. The issue is how its made out of several parts screwed together. The Carver mount does what it claims but will require lots of thread locker and keeping the screws torquedlooks like this one. an interesting design, but, i fail to understand how it can hold zero to be at least 1" good at 25yds with getting locked on a soft plastic of glock or sig frame.
should probably work OK on a full metal frame of beretta, though.
dunno, may be. i tried playing with laser mounted on the glocks rail and it was shifting a ton during shooting. the additional clamp into the locking block pin will help, but, dunno.That mount is fixed to the locking block as well as the frame rail.

that mount will not be allowed in the optics carry class, right?
