Got mine in...looks great, nice tight fit...won't be able to get to the range for some time though. I have been on the waiting list for over a year. I saw an old post back in 2010 where people were asking Tom to sell them. Well, he finally came through!

I received my 3-lug adapter today. I just tried it onto my MP5k clone and there is a concerning amount of wobble to the mount. The same mp5k has a tight fit with my Gemtech and Griffin Armament 3-lug mounts so I don't think it's the barrel. I'll check my other pistols with 3-lug barrels to see if I get the same result.

I will bet that if you are not happy with it, Bowers will give you a refund if you want to send it back.

Something a little extra for Uzitalk members only...

mention Uzitalk if you call up to order a three-lug insert and we'll throw in a little extra spiff.

Tom
PS there was a wrong phone number posted earlier, it's 503-992-8697.

PPS to the gent that said his insert wobbles, it shouldn't do that if installed correctly, it should snap *hard* into position and be pretty rock solid.
If it isn't, send it back in good condition and tell us if you want to try another or if you want your money back, we'll take care of you. Or tell me if you want me to tear it down and check it for problems prior to making your decision. Whatever will make you happy. But if it's wonky and wiggly, something is wrong, please don't use it like that.

My 3 lug adapter came in today. Very well made, no play at all and very strong spring. It is mounted on my Coharie MP5K.

Thanks Tom! I like the spiff I got with my last order and the printed catalog was very nice. You don't get those anymore and that's a sad thing.

I would like to take a minute to thank Tom and Dorothy for the outstanding customer service that they provided me with. We believe that my spring was out of spec causing fitment issues. Tom reached out to me after he saw my post and had a replacement in the mail the same day. I spoke to him on the phone and you can tell that he not only knows his business, but he is an all around nice guy. The new 3-lug fits nice and tight with absolutely zero wobble. I'm a very satisfied customer and am glad that I went with the Vers 9S for the M11.

And there you go...

Anyone will sell you a can or mount, but it's the service after the sale that separates superior companies like Bowers and Lage from all the rest. Thanks for taking care of the guys Tom and for being faster than geologic time.

Had a chance to play with my 3-lug today.
Spring tension is tight and so are the tolerances.
It's a great mount!

Oh yeah, me too.

I threw it on the Uzi just to see how it worked (very well, btw). But since there's already a rock-solid mount available for the Uzi, I'll probably switch this to one of the M11 uppers.
