What to check before buying an adapter plate

First and foremost - check if your gun is "optics ready". That is that it has a slide cut for an adapter plate, or cut for direct fitting of a red dot. 

If you have non-Optics Ready pistol, you can still install red dot to it. However, then you should be looking for a red dot mounts instead of optics ready plate. We have all red dot mounts listed here. They work as a replacement of the rear sight in the dovetail cut.

Attention: many guns are made Optics Ready and non-Optics Ready

Sometimes manufacturers were making one pistols as classic: that is non-Optics Ready. And then from some point just made the same gun as Optics Ready pistol, without changing its name or anything.

Thus make sure that your gun is Optics Ready ("OR") before you go about buying an optics ready plate. 

For example Glock names all Optics Ready models as "MOS". CZ uses "OR" for the name of some of them. HS Produkt and Springfield uses "OSP". Most other manufacturers do not differentiate the name though whatsoever.

No optics cut on your pistol?

If your pistol is not optics-ready, check out our red dot dovetail mounts that allow installation without slide milling.
