Ctc Red Dot Rear Sight Adapter for Glock Pistols

The Crimson Trace Red Dot Rear Sight Adapter for Glock Pistols is a low-profile mounting solution that lets you run a modern red dot sight on your Glock without expensive slide cuts. This adapter kit leverages your pistol's existing dovetail notch—the same one your factory rear sight uses—to secure a slim adapter plate to the slide. Once mounted, you can attach any compatible Crimson Trace red dot (CT RAD, CT RAD PRO, CT RAD MICRO, or CT RAD MICRO PRO) directly to the plate. It's a practical way to add optic-ready capability to a gun you already trust.

If you've been hesitant about committing to an expensive gunsmith job, this dovetail approach sidesteps that entirely. The kit uses hardware and leverage points already engineered into your Glock's frame. Installation is straightforward—no drilling, no permanent modifications—and you retain the ability to swap back to iron sights if needed. That flexibility matters whether you're running a duty gun, a range toy, or a defensive carry piece.

Crimson Trace is known for putting reliability first, which shows in how they've engineered this adapter to work with "some of the most popular GLOCK pistols." Before purchase, confirm your specific Glock model is on the compatibility list. Once you've verified fit, you're looking at a clean, repeatable way to modernize your pistol's sighting system without guesswork or extensive gunsmithing.
