5. Setup and Installation
The installation process generally involves removing the existing rear sight of your pistol and securing the mount plate in its place. Then, the red dot sight is attached to the mount plate.
- Clear the Firearm: Ensure the pistol is unloaded and safe. Remove the magazine and visually and physically inspect the chamber to confirm it is empty.
- Remove Rear Sight: Carefully remove the existing rear sight from your pistol's slide. This often requires a sight pusher tool or a brass punch and hammer. Refer to your pistol's specific manual for detailed instructions on rear sight removal.
- Position the Mount Plate: Place the Red Dot Mount Plate into the dovetail slot where the rear sight was removed. Ensure it sits flush and correctly aligned.
- Secure the Mount Plate: Use the provided screws and wrench to securely fasten the mount plate to the pistol slide. Apply appropriate torque to prevent loosening under recoil, but do not overtighten.
- Attach Red Dot Sight: Place your compatible red dot sight onto the mount plate. Align the screw holes on the red dot sight with those on the mount plate.
- Secure Red Dot Sight: Use the appropriate screws (usually provided with the red dot sight or the mount plate) to attach the red dot sight to the mount plate. Tighten these screws firmly using the provided wrench.
- Function Check: After installation, perform a function check of your firearm to ensure all components operate correctly and safely.
- Sight-in: Take your firearm to a safe shooting range and properly sight-in your red dot optic.

- Professional Installation: If you are not confident in performing the installation yourself, it is highly recommended to have a qualified gunsmith install the mount plate and red dot sight to ensure proper fit and function.
- Threadlocker: Consider using a small amount of non-permanent threadlocker (e.g., blue Loctite) on the mounting screws for added security, especially for the screws attaching the red dot to the plate.
