Running larger red dot on pistols, will it work?

[arakboss]

Just mount red dot on a 90 degree offset adapter on the bottom rail and then shoot sideways "gansta style"!

If they make one the has a second picatinny rail opposite of the first one, I could mount the bipod on the other rail.

Edit: something like this. I could throw a flashlight in the spare hole and a laser on the third rail.

Will these single lug adapters fit on Glock rails?

I think u can put about any Larp stuff u want on glock rails with so many adapters available. This is 45 degree offset f.e. I just put on there for pic. Adapters are like $10 on Amazon so just for monkeying around it doesn't cost much.

Grip position might not be great but for $10ish it would allow me to fire my Glock 21 with 6 inch barrels down at the GP range, after attaching prism scope to the offset mount. Bipod should correct for any accuracy issues arising from gangsta grip angle.

Now all you have to do is figure out how to not get laughed off the range.

I'll go early when the gun snobs are still at home reading the The New York Times and sipping on their cappuccinos.

Perfect.

I'm a little jealous of you finding the slide, it's tough trying to find one for the 5" version. Just sent mine off for milling and tall sights.

If u use a bipod then maybe use the patented LARPmaster 2000 Gangsta-Brace (kidding!)

Try the Mako Universal Picatinny Rail Mount

I saw the one below on Amazon today and thought of this post. The mako one mentioned or this one below look clumsy and awkward but function-wise they would work.

Another thing that was probably mentioned already is u can replace the rear sight with a mounting plate for around $35-$45 then install a micro red dot like the one below. Total cost would be around $115ish though so may not be worth it. I've used that ade green dot one below on a 556 rifle and it works good and holds zero but I have not mounted on a moving slide (yet anyway, I'm always experimenting ha ha, might have to mount it on Jericho pistol to see if it can take it).

FYI below is a good source for red dot plates fwiw, I like how they are extremely specific in what each plate will accept etc, rather than being vague or claiming it's a "universal plate" and then u find out it won't work after receiving it.

My red dots are much larger than that viper. I believe the TRS25 will only mount on picatinny rail. I was thinking that I could sacrifice one of the mounting plates that came with the M&P slide kit and mount a short section of picatinny rail to it? As for cycling I will keep the spring shortening trick in mind.

Would a fastfire 2 work on my Smith & Wesson?

Got the RMR 06 in Tigard yesterday to replace my DPP on my C2 Staccato.

It should with their 410336 plate.

I am going to give this tri rail mount a try. It will give me a couple of different configurations I can try. First option will be to mount bipod on bottom rail and mount optic on one of the side rails. This will allow me to operate pistol in normal position.
