Pistol Red Dot Mounting Option SHOWDOWN! Which mounting method is best?
If you're considering adding a red dot sight to your pistol, you may be wondering which mounting option is the best for you. In this video, we'll compare three popular red dot slide mounting options: rear sight replacement with a mounting plate, modular mounting plates like the MOS, and direct slide mount.

We'll start with rear sight replacement with a mounting plate. This option involves removing your rear sight and replacing it with a mounting plate that's designed to hold a red dot sight. One advantage of this option is that it allows you to maintain your pistol's original sight picture. It also allows for a lower profile setup, as the red dot sits closer to the slide than with other options. However, this option may not be as secure as the other options, and the plate may loosen over time.
Next, we'll look at modular mounting plates like the MOS (Modular Optic System). This option involves using a mounting plate that can be swapped out to accommodate different red dot sights. One advantage of this option is that it allows you to use multiple red dot sights without needing to modify your slide. However, the added complexity of the system and the extra height above the slide can make it less reliable than a direct slide mount.
Finally, we'll cover the direct slide mount. This option involves milling the slide of your pistol to create a mounting platform for the red dot sight. One advantage of this option is that it's the most secure and reliable option, as the red dot sight is directly mounted to the slide. It also allows for the lowest profile setup, as the red dot sits closest to the bore. However, this option is the most expensive and involves permanently modifying your pistol.
In conclusion, each of these red dot slide mounting options has its pros and cons, and the best option for you depends on your personal preferences and needs. Consider factors such as security, reliability, sight picture, height over bore, and cost when making your decision. We hope this comparison helps you make an informed decision on which option is best for you.
