Crimson Trace CTS-1520 Red Dot Sight 5 MOA Dovetail Mount Kit

The Crimson Trace CTS-1520 delivers fast target acquisition with its 5 MOA red dot reticle, engineered specifically for Glock and Smith & Wesson M&P pistols. This dovetail-mounted optic eliminates the need for slide milling while maintaining a low profile that preserves existing holster compatibility. The complete combo kit includes everything needed for installation on factory rear sight dovetails.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional pistol red dots that require permanent slide modifications, the CTS-1520 utilizes the existing rear sight dovetail for secure mounting. The 5 MOA dot provides rapid target engagement at defensive distances while remaining precise enough for accurate shot placement. This design maintains the pistol's original sight height, allowing use with most existing holsters and eliminating expensive custom work.

Key Features

• 5 MOA red dot optimized for close to medium-range engagements

The CTS-1520 performs consistently across temperature extremes and maintains zero through repeated firing cycles.

The optic's construction withstands recoil from +P ammunition and maintains clarity in adverse weather conditions.
