Red dot mounts for 1911 LPA Cut

A red dot sight on a 1911 with an LPA-cut rear sight slot uses the existing dovetail geometry to add an optic in place of the adjustable LPA rear sight. The LPA cut is used on competition 1911 pistols, and a mount in this slot gives you a single focal plane while retaining the platform's adjustable-sight capability through the optic's own adjustment.

A dovetail red dot mount fits directly into the rear sight dovetail on your pistol — the same cut that holds the factory rear sight. The mount replaces the rear sight and positions the optic directly above the slide in the sighting plane. Installation requires no gunsmithing and no machining: remove the rear sight, seat the mount in the dovetail, and tighten the setscrew. The modification is fully reversible — if you want to return to iron sights, you reinstall the factory rear sight and the slide is unchanged.

Compatibility depends on the specific model and configuration — always check the individual product page before ordering.
