🟥 Glock 21 MOS Direct Mount Red Dots – Fast, Reliable, No Adapter Needed

Looking to add a red dot to your Glock 21 MOS without the extra bulk of a mounting plate? You’re in the right place.

At Mounts Plus, we carry a refined selection of direct-mount red dot sights designed specifically for the Glock 21 MOS platform. These optics fit directly onto your factory slide — no adapter required — giving you a lower profile, cleaner installation, and better performance under recoil.

Whether you're building a duty gun, a backcountry companion, or just want faster follow-up shots at the range, a properly fitted red dot will give your G21 the tactical edge.


✅ Why Choose a Direct Mount Red Dot for Glock 21 MOS?

Glock’s MOS (Modular Optic System) allows you to mount optics directly to the slide. But not all red dots are created equal — some require bulky adapter plates, which raise the optic height, interfere with co-witnessing, and add unnecessary weight.

Direct mount optics solve that.

With the right red dot, you’ll benefit from:

  • Lower profile – Better co-witness and faster sight picture

  • Fewer moving parts – Less hardware means fewer failure points

  • Cleaner fitment – Optic sits closer to the bore axis

  • Better concealability – No plate sticking out under your optic
