Agreed... try to avoid rail mount optics if you can. The higher your optics are from the bore of your weapon, the more you will have to go through re-training, in order to learn how to pick up the dot quickly (the higher the sight from the bore, the more you'll have to naturally lower your grip), as well as learning how to adjust for parallax differences between near and far targets. The higher your sight is from your bore, the more you will need to compensate.

If you are very used to naturally picking up a sight picture quickly with a pistol's open sights, you are going to have a tough time learning to pick up a dot that's high off the bore. (that's advice coming from personal experience.)

That scope mount base that Pusangani linked to is made for a real CMore sight. A replica shouldn't be far off as far as fitment goes. It's a replica of the STI scope mount base, the difference being that this one has a removable/replaceable steel blast shield.
