The Viridian RFX45 Low Mounting Adapter delivers precise co-witness alignment for red dot optics on pistol slides. This black anodized aluminum adapter creates a lower mounting position than standard plates, optimizing sight picture and reducing profile bulk.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard mounting plates that raise optic height significantly, this low-profile adapter maintains minimal clearance above the slide. The precision-machined design ensures consistent zero retention through thousands of rounds. CNC construction from 6061-T6 aluminum provides strength while keeping weight under 0.5 ounces.
Key Features
- Low-profile design reduces overall optic height by 2-3mm compared to standard adapters
- Black Type III hard anodized finish resists corrosion and wear
- Precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy
- Compatible with RFX series red dot sights and similar footprint optics
- Includes stainless steel mounting hardware with thread locker pre-applied
- Weight: Under 0.5 ounces without affecting slide cycling
- Maintains proper co-witness with standard height iron sights
Field testing demonstrates reliable zero retention through extended shooting sessions and environmental exposure. The lower mounting position improves natural point of aim for competitive shooting and duty applications. Corrosion resistance proves effective in humid conditions and saltwater exposure common to coastal environments.
