Hey guys. So as some of you may have read in earlier threads, I was wanting an ATOM mount for my g34. I had heard a few stories from other sources not connected to L&M Precision Gunworks (the company that did the work licensed by UT), and did a 2+2=5 thing. I made a wrong connection in my head (a fairly regular occurrence) and made wrong, and frankly ignorant and stupid comments about it. In doing so, I inadvertently called into question Unity's decision to use that shop.
Well, here's the Proof:
I sent my slide off Jul 1, received a lead time of roughly "2 weeks", excluding shipping. On Jul 12 my package came in with the finished slide. That was faster than any local gunsmith has kept my various projects. I am impressed.
It was shipped back USPS flat rate, insured, etc etc.
So, like every kid on Christmas, I immediately tore up the box to get at my present, which is why I don't have a picture of it
Now, for the quality of the design. These guys are pretty damn clever. You can either mount your optic directly to your slide (preventing the use of any Other optics in the future), or get an ATOM and not be locked in. It's a modular type design allowing you to switch out optics. Looks like this:
When attached to the optic:
The adapter fits perfectly behind the new (optional) dovetail for the rear iron sight. If you don't want irons you don't have to get them, but I opted in for the whole thing.
Moving on to the quality of the work done:
The milling itself looks top notch. I see no inaccuracies, blemishes, mistakes, whatever. The shop did good work, quality control is important and these guys delivered.
Same with the black cerakote job. It looks great, smooth, and professional.
Of course, since I'm an early adopter, I had to go for even more innovation and ordered some cocking serrations cut into the slide as well (Not part of the ATOM treatment, but it was there and this is my graduation present to me, so I got it)
Final result looks great (shown in this case with a Dawson magwell, which won't be used with this setup, I just had it on and didn't feel like taking it off yet)
I am going to get out on the range tomorrow and put a couple hundred rounds through it, will provide a range report then.
Bottom line is: it's a great product so far, I made a big mistake by doubting it, and by extension Unity Tactical. It was fast and professionally done, and I should have ordered it months ago. I can't wait to shoot it!
(Oh, and I made a personal deal with VG, cause he's a friend but mostly because He had confidence in the product and was trying to get it through my thick head. If it didn't come in on time and in good quality, he'd pay for my slide, if it did, I'd write a public apology (which I am right now) and do some unspecified range chores in one of his fall classes. I'm Terrified to think of what he's been coming up with as revenge)
