Black hawk drilled and tapped for scope, any problems?

[Changeling]

I am considering getting my "Black hawk" 45LC drilled and tapped for a 1" scope (Ultra Dot 4). Has anyone had any problems with getting there BH tapped for a scope or anything that I should have done or look out for?

My SBH has been drilled and tapped for a Leupold mount for a long time now.

I have seen numerous 41 mag and 45 colts and the owners have no problems. My 45 Colt is tapped and had sevral hundred heavy loads fired through it.

Thank you for the information.

I had my SBH drilled and tapped for a Weigand mount and then mounted a 4X Leupold. I'm a believer, I thoroughly enjoy mine. I've been pondering doing this to more of my handguns. I would prefer the Ultradot(I've got one on 686 and a Ruger Mk III). I haven't had any issues with the install other than the aprehension of someone drilling holes in my pistol.

I D&T'd my gp100 .357 years ago for the Weigand mount and also my SBH .44 mag. I have dots on both of them and have had no problems at all. The GP has had about 6 or 7K 1200 fps Keiths and the .44 maybe 500 mags and a thousand or so specials through it. On a whim before I D&Td the .44 I glued the Weigand mount on with Pro-Seal (a 2 part aircraft caulk) and mounted a $30. dot on it. I then fired 50 rds of 429421 @1300 fps and surprisingly the mount held, although all the screws or caulk does is hold the mount down on the gun. The recoil is absorbed by a shoulder on the back of the mount. I just did it to see if it would work and then took it off and D&Td it.

Thanks fecmech, that makes me feel somewhat better.

Consider trading it out for a Ruger that has scope mounts already.

I have Ultradot 30mm on my Ruger Single Six 22rf /22 mag. Low recoil for sure but the Ultradot and the Weigand mount is top quality.I need my 657 drilled and tapped. I may try a shop in Topton Pa. near me

I have about half of my many Ruger single actions scope mounted. Never a problem. My scope of preference is the Leupold 2X pistol scope, blue or silver.
Old eyes require some help and I'll take all I can get.
