The TruGlo TG8952C Red Dot Sight Adapter transforms standard pistol slides into precision optics platforms. This aluminum nitride-coated mount provides a secure foundation for Trijicon RMR and compatible red dot sights, eliminating the need for expensive slide modifications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike permanent slide cuts that void warranties and reduce resale value, this adapter mount preserves the original firearm while adding optics capability. The aluminum nitride finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard anodizing, maintaining zero retention through thousands of rounds. Installation requires no gunsmithing or permanent modifications to the host firearm.
Key Features
- Aluminum nitride coating for maximum corrosion and wear resistance
- Direct compatibility with Trijicon RMR footprint optics
- Precision-machined aluminum construction maintains zero under recoil
- Reversible installation preserves original slide configuration
- Low-profile design maintains sight picture and holster compatibility
- Stainless steel mounting hardware included for secure attachment
- Compatible with most standard dovetail rear sight configurations
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through extended shooting sessions across multiple calibers. The mount's rigid construction eliminates flex that causes point-of-impact shifts common with inferior adapters. Competition shooters report maintained accuracy through match-length strings, while duty users appreciate the reliability under adverse conditions. The nitride coating resists holster wear and environmental exposure that degrades standard finishes.
