Just buy the aftermarket mount... easiest/cheapest solution. Drilling/tapping isn't hard. Getting the holes perfectly located/aligned is.
My wife has the same basic gun and we're running an aftermarket mount... I don't recall which one off top of my head, but it works fine. Hers has the mount over the ejection port as that particular model also came with irons.

I'm ok with buying an aftermarket mount, but the thing is none are going to be a simple bolt on.
Since mine was this special model with the Factory Riton optic, it only has these two holes threaded in the rear, which are a totally different pattern than the other factory threads like yours.
So, I'm thinking if I get the aftermarket mount like I linked, and mount it to the rear using one of my existing threads, then I only need to drill & tap one hole.
The over the ejection port mounts look nice, I like that location, but the forward threads for those are blind hole threads, and that is not something I want to attempt personally.

My mistake... I thought the one you linked was for that specific model.
