Glock 17 MOS Direct Mount Red Dots β No Adapter Needed
π΄ Glock 17 MOS Direct Mount Red Dots β Plate-Free, Zero Compromises
Want to upgrade your Glock 17 MOS with a red dot sight β but without the bulky adapter plate?
You're in the right place.
We’ve handpicked the best direct mount red dot sights for the Glock 17 MOS. These optics bolt directly to your Glock’s factory slide cut, offering a lower profile, reduced weight, and better recoil durability β all without an adapter plate.
β Why Go Plate-Free on Your Glock 17 MOS?
Traditional red dot installations often require an adapter plate. That adds bulk, shifts your bore axis, and introduces more failure points.
A direct mount optic changes that:
-
No adapter plate needed
-
Lower bore height = faster target acquisition
-
Cleaner install with less weight
-
Stronger mount that holds zero under hard recoil
Whether you’re running your Glock 17 for duty, range, or carry β going plate-free just makes sense.
