Optics ready plates for Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy

This collection contains optic plates for the Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy. The plate goes into the factory optic cut of the slide and takes the red dot on top. Every plate is made for one footprint or a group of footprints, so you choose it by the footprint of your red dot.

Plates with a rear sight

Some plates have an integrated rear sight, so you keep iron sights with the red dot mounted. You aim through the red dot and still have a sight picture if it fails. Here they are made by Impact Machine for the RMR, K-series, DPP, Acro and 509T footprints.

Material

Impact Machine makes its plates from steel. EGW makes its plates from aluminium. An aluminium plate is lighter. A steel plate is heavier and robust.

Installation

Remove the cover plate from the optic cut, put the plate in and screw the red dot onto it. Use threadlocker on every screw. No milling and no gunsmith are needed.
