How to find the right part

Plates, mounts and sights are made for specific models and slides. Two pistols from the same maker can have different dovetails or optic cuts, and a part made for one does not always fit the other. That is why we sort everything by model: on the page of your model you see only what fits it.

Where a model comes in versions that take different parts, the version is in square brackets on the button: [OR] for an Optics Ready slide, [classic] for a slide without the optic cut, a generation such as [gen 4/5], or a slide type such as [Pro Cut]. Pick the version that matches your gun.

Three ways to put a red dot on your pistol

• Optic plate: for an Optics Ready slide with a factory optic cut, closed with a cover plate. The plate goes into the cut and takes the red dot. You remove the cover plate, screw the plate in and the red dot onto it. No milling and no gunsmith.
• Red dot mount: for a gun without an optic cut. On most pistols the mount goes into the rear sight dovetail in place of the rear sight; some mounts attach in other ways. Each mount is made for specific models, so pick yours.
• Direct-fit red dot: a red dot made for the optic cut of a specific model, so it fits without a plate.

Footprints: matching the red dot to the plate or mount

The footprint is the pattern of screw holes and recoil lugs on the bottom of a red dot. Every plate and mount takes one footprint or a group of footprints, and its title names them. The footprints you meet most often are Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS, Aimpoint Acro and Holosun 509T. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the plate or mount for your model that names it. Some makers group footprints into types (type A, type S and so on); the letters differ between makers, so always read the footprints in the brackets.

Iron sights

Our iron sights are made for the dovetails of specific models, so they are sorted by model too. You can choose between sight pictures such as white dots, fiber optic, tritium, luminescent dots, white lines and blank rear sights. If you use a red dot, look for tall co-witness sights, which you see through the window of the red dot.

1911 pistols

1911 pistols are made by many makers, and their slides differ in the cut for the rear sight. On the 1911 page you pick the cut of your slide, such as Novak, BoMar or G.I., or your maker's 1911 model. The same models are also listed under their makers.

Revolvers

For some revolvers from Colt, Ruger and Smith & Wesson we have red dot mounts or sights. You find them under the maker, like the pistols.

Frequently asked questions

Why shop by model?

Plates, mounts and sights are made for specific models and slides. On the page of your model you see only the parts that fit it, sorted by type.

How do I know if my pistol is Optics Ready?

An Optics Ready slide has a factory optic cut, closed with a cover plate, and usually "Optics Ready", "OR", "MOS" or a similar mark in the model name. It takes a plate or a direct-fit red dot. A slide with a rear sight in a dovetail and no cover plate takes a mount.

Can I install it at home?

A plate, yes: no milling and no gunsmith, only a screwdriver and a drop of threadlocker on every screw. For a mount or new sights in a dovetail you need a sight pusher or a punch; if you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.
