Crimson Trace CT-RAD Dovetail Mount Kit - Model 01-3000054

The Crimson Trace CT-RAD Dovetail Mount Kit is purpose-built to integrate Crimson Trace's CT-RAD reflex sights onto a range of popular Smith & Wesson and M&P pistols using dovetail mounting. This straightforward mounting solution lets you add a proven red dot sight to your carry or range gun without gunsmithing, making it an accessible way to modernize your sight picture on platforms like the Shield, Shield Plus, Shield EZ, M&P, and M&P 2.0 lineup. The kit includes everything needed for installation, so you're ready to mount and zero your optic in one session.

If you run a compatible S&W or M&P handgun and want to pair it with a Crimson Trace CT-RAD, this dovetail mount is your direct path to that setup. Unlike hunting optics for rifles, pistol red dot mounts are platform-specific—this one is engineered for the dovetail footprint found on those particular models, ensuring a solid, repeatable fit. It's the kind of detail-oriented accessory that separates a half-finished upgrade from one that actually shoots straight.

Installation is straightforward enough for most shooters, though if you're unsure about your gunsmith skills, any competent armorer can handle it in a few minutes. Once mounted, you'll have a rock-solid platform for your CT-RAD, ready for daily carry, defensive training, or range sessions.
