1911 sights & optics

Here you find the 1911 accessories we have for sighting: optic plates for Optics Ready models, red dot mounts for models without an optic cut and iron sights. Our 1911 sights and red dot mounts are made either for the cut of the slide or for a specific maker's 1911, so pick your cut or your model and you see only what fits it.

Red dots on a 1911: plate or mount

1911 models with a factory optic cut in the slide, closed with a cover plate, take an optic plate that connects the cut to the footprint of your red dot. We have plates for Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy, for the Trijicon RMR, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Aimpoint Acro and Holosun 509T footprints.

1911 models without an optic cut take a red dot mount. We have mounts for 1911 BoMar cut, 1911 G.I. cut, 1911 Kimber Fixed cut, 1911 LPA cut, 1911 Novak cut, 1911 Rail Gun cut, GSG 1911, Mauser 1911, Sig 1911, Tanfoglio Witness 1911, Tanfoglio Witness 1911 Custom and Taurus PT 1911, for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints.

A mount is for a gun without an optic cut, and a plate fits only a slide with the cut.

Our plates and mounts for 1911 come from EGW, Impact Machine, Outer Impact, Shield Sights and Toni System.

1911 sights

We have iron sights for 17 1911 models, made by Angry Bear, Eemann Tech and LPA. Sight pictures: blank, fiber optic, luminescent dots, tritium, white dots and white lines. Each sight is made for a specific model, so pick your model above to see the sights that fit it.

Frequently asked questions

Which red dot fits my 1911?

It depends on your model and the plate or mount you choose. Every one takes one footprint or a group of footprints. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the one for your model that names it.

How do I know if my 1911 takes a plate?

A slide with a factory optic cut, closed with a cover plate, takes a plate. A slide with a rear sight in a dovetail and no cover plate takes a mount.

Can I install a plate at home?

Yes. A plate needs no gunsmith and no milling: remove the cover plate from the optic cut, screw the plate in and the red dot onto it. Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

My 1911 model is not listed. What now?
