The Kimber KDS9C Dovetail Rear Sight Optic Plates Kit transforms your pistol's sight configuration by providing a streamlined optic mounting solution. This kit eliminates the need for permanent slide modifications while maintaining the factory dovetail integration. Shooters gain the flexibility to mount red dot optics without compromising the pistol's original sight system.
What Makes This Different
Unlike aftermarket sight plates that require gunsmithing, this Kimber factory kit integrates directly with the KDS9C's existing dovetail cut. The system maintains zero retention through repeated optic swaps and provides a lower mounting height than traditional adapter plates. Each kit includes precision-machined components that match factory tolerances, ensuring consistent alignment and secure mounting without thread locker dependency.
