Red dots on a Ruger: plate or mount

Ruger 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 Ruger 57, Ruger Mark III, Ruger Mark IV and Ruger Max-9, for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints.

Ruger models without an optic cut take a red dot mount. We have mounts for Ruger Blackhawk, Ruger GP100, Ruger Mark I, Ruger Mark II, Ruger Mark III, Ruger Mark IV, Ruger P85, Ruger P90-95, Ruger P97, Ruger Redhawk, Ruger Security 9, Ruger SR9, Ruger SR40, Ruger SR45 and Ruger Super Wrangler, 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 Ruger come from EGW and Outer Impact.

Ruger sights

We have iron sights for 18 Ruger models, made by LPA and Night Fision. 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.

Optic plates for Optics Ready Ruger models

• Ruger 57: plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints, made by Outer Impact.
• Ruger Mark III and Ruger Mark IV: plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints, made by Outer Impact.

Red dot mounts for Ruger models without an optic cut

Several Ruger models take the same mounts:

• Ruger Blackhawk, Ruger GP100, Ruger Redhawk and Ruger Super Wrangler
• Ruger Mark I, Ruger Mark II, Ruger Mark III, Ruger Mark IV, Ruger P85, Ruger P90-95 and Ruger P97
• Ruger SR9, Ruger SR40 and Ruger SR45

The page of each model shows the mounts that fit it.

Some makers group footprints into mount types, and the letters differ between makers, so always read the footprints in the brackets:

• EGW: type S (RMSc, DPP, K-series).
• Outer Impact: type C (RMR, RTS, Docter).

Which Ruger models share sights

These models take the same sights, so you find the same sets on their pages:

• Ruger GP100, Ruger Redhawk and Ruger Super Redhawk
• Ruger Mark I, Ruger Mark II and Ruger Mark IV
• Ruger P85 and Ruger P89
• Ruger P91, Ruger P92, Ruger P93, Ruger P94, Ruger P95 and Ruger P97

Tritium sights, which glow in the dark without charging, are available for the Max-9.

Co-witness sights, tall enough to see through the window of a red dot, are available for the Max-9.

Who makes our Ruger parts

Our Ruger plates, mounts and sights come from EGW (the USA), LPA (Italy), Night Fision (the USA) and Outer Impact (the USA).

Frequently asked questions

Which red dot fits my Ruger?

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 Ruger 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 Ruger model is not listed. What now?

We list only the models we have parts for. Find all our parts under Red dot adapters and Sights.

Do the same parts fit the Ruger Blackhawk and the Ruger GP100?

For mounts, yes: the Ruger Blackhawk, Ruger GP100, Ruger Redhawk and Ruger Super Wrangler take the same ones. Other parts can differ, so pick your model to see what fits it.

Can I change the sights on my Ruger at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.
