Anyone ever modified a shield rear sight to fit on a shield EZ?
I have a shield ez 380, that I'd like to put a red dot on. I am aware of the various dovetail mounting solutions out there but honestly, most of them are pretty horrific looking and put the optic ridiculously high. There are more options for the standard shields.
I'm aware that the EZ sights screw to the slide from the inside and the standard shields just use a set screw but do those holes line up? Are the dovetails the same except for the screw? Maybe possible to drill out that set screw hole and tap it for whatever thread pitch the EZ sights use?
I wanna do this but a dovetail optic mount is already a little janky and I don't want to exacerbate that. I understand that this is dumb and odd but everything about the EZ appealed to my wife and I'd like her to be able to take advantage of an optic if it can be done
