C&H Precision CZ Shadow 2 OR V4 RMR / Holosun C Steel Plate

This is the steel-bodied version of C&H's Shadow 2 OR plate, and the material swap is the whole point. A steel plate resists the shear and screw creep that a hard-used aluminum plate can develop after tens of thousands of rounds on a 46-ounce steel-framed competition gun. It carries the same Trijicon RMR/SRO and Holosun 407C/507C/507Comp/508T footprint and the same Glock rear-sight dovetail as the aluminum version, so you give up nothing but a fraction of an ounce.

For a Carry Optics shooter putting 15,000 to 30,000 rounds a year through a Shadow 2, the steel plate is cheap insurance against a zero that drifts mid-season. At $85.99 it costs the same as the aluminum plate, so the only thing you trade for the steel's durability is a fraction of an ounce, not budget.
