Description
This mount allows you to mount a red dot to your Ruger pistol, while still retaining the ability to co-witness with iron sights.
Since all red dots on the market are too thick to work with the original sights, this mount replaces the front sight with a taller one, and provides you a new dovetail to install the original rear sight.
Compatibility notes:
- The front sight only fits pistols that have a 1″ diameter barrel. If the barrel on your pistol is the same diameter and the receiver, then this will fit.
- Ruger has changed the screws used to mount the front sight several times over the years. I designed this front sight to use the original screw that came with your pistol, but it’s impossible for me to test with every single iteration out there. If you run into any installation problems, reach out using the Contact Us page.
- The front sight is designed to use the factory front sight screw hole. If your pistol does not have that hole, I can provide your gunsmith with the proper dimensions. Please reach out using the Contact Us page.
- This mount uses the factory rear sight. If you do not have a factory rear sight, there are many available on ebay. Find one that looks the same as the rear sight in the pictures above.
