I picked up a Hurricane Glock mount, which is a pretty nice IMHO, but its got some parts about it that bother me. The installation is a pain in the ass for one. The lower rail is pretty lame. The material lacks something, I think its a powdered metal process, but it could be cast too. This is what it looks like:
I like it, like I have said, but I want something better. So I got to thinking about how I would have designed it. I would have used machined aluminum, added a proper rail to the bottom, and made it much easier to install/remove. So I started designing my idea, and this is what I came up with.
Excuse the simple render; the glock is an old glock model I made for a Half Life mod back in 2001. Here is another render of just the unit, exploded into its parts:
Why I am posting this up here is because I want some feedback. I am actually looking into making this unit reality, and I need to know if it would be worth my while to make a run of them. The Hurricane mount I believe retails at Canadian sites for $75. This unit, which would be available for Glock 19's, 17's, and 18's, will be much more robust and rigid. What would you be willing to pay for a unit like this?
Thanks for the time. Your answers will help me decide if I am going to pay for a single run off, or make a 100 or more.
