Glock MOS Direct Mount Red Dots – No Plate Needed | Mounts Plus
🔴 Glock MOS Direct Mount Red Dot Sights – No Plates, No Hassle
Looking for a red dot that mounts directly to your Glock MOS without using a bulky adapter plate? You’re in the right place.
Our Glock MOS Direct Mount Red Dot collection includes optics specifically designed to bolt straight onto your Glock's factory MOS slide cut — giving you a lower profile, reduced weight, and better reliability.
✅ Why Choose a Direct Mount Red Dot?
Traditional red dots for Glock MOS pistols require an adapter plate. That adds height, complexity, and potential failure points.
Our direct-mount red dots are different:
-
No adapter plate needed
-
Lower bore axis for faster target acquisition
-
Less weight for improved balance
-
Simplified installation with fewer parts
This means faster shots, better concealment, and fewer things that can go wrong.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need an adapter plate to use these red dots?
No. Every optic listed here is designed to mount directly to the Glock MOS slide cut without needing an adapter plate.
Which Glock models are compatible?
These optics work with most Glock MOS models like G17, G19, G34, G45, and G47. Some also fit G43X and G48 MOS models directly — check individual product pages for fitment.
What is the benefit of a direct mount red dot?
Direct mount red dots sit lower, weigh less, and remove the need for extra hardware. This makes for faster sight alignment and better reliability.
Can I co-witness with my factory Glock sights?
Yes. Many optics on this page allow for a lower 1/3 co-witness with suppressor-height iron sights or include built-in rear sight notches.
Are tools and screws included?
Yes. Each optic includes the appropriate mounting screws and often includes an installation tool. We recommend adding threadlocker for recoil resistance.
