Got a pistol not cut for an optic mount? Never fear. The OuterImpact M.R.A. (Modular Red Dot Adapter) is designed to bridge the gap — literally — between a standard dovetail cut on the pistol slide and the base of your optic.
As dovetail cuts vary by manufacturer, you’ll need to order a version of the M.R.A. compatible with your gun. The company makes a variety of fits for lots of popular guns from Smith & Wesson, SIG, CZ, IWI, Canik, FN, H&K, Mossberg and more. There are rimfire options for popular plinkers like the Ruger and Buckmark families, too.
Installation is easy. Just remove the existing rear sight, replace it with the M.R.A. dovetail insert and affix the M.R.A. optics plate. Then, you mount the optic as normal. For my SIG P320, the installation added maybe 0.22″ to the optic height over the slide. It’ll run you about $60, give or take, depending on the configuration. OuterImpact.com
