The Crimson Trace CT-RAD Dovetail Red Dot Mounting Kit (brand part no. 01-3000186) lets Glock owners add a quality red dot without cutting or milling their slide. Built by Crimson Trace, this low-profile adapter plate locks into the factory dovetail notch on full-size Glock pistols, giving you a rock-solid mounting surface for the CT RAD, CT RAD PRO, CT RAD MICRO, or CT RAD MICRO PRO optic. Skipping the gunsmith cut saves money and keeps your slide finish intact, making this the easiest path to a red-dot-equipped duty or carry gun. It is a straightforward install for anyone comfortable with basic pistol maintenance.
