Red dot adapters for Canik models

This collection brings together every red dot adapter we have for Canik models: optics ready plates for Canik models with a factory optic cut, and red dot mounts for Canik models without one. Pick your model above and you see only the plates or mounts that fit it.

Plate or mount: which one does your Canik model take

• Optics Ready Canik models have a factory optic cut in the slide, closed with a cover plate. They take an optics ready plate. The plate goes into the cut and connects it to the footprint of your red dot.
• Canik models without an optic cut take a red dot mount. The mount replaces the rear sight in its dovetail. You need no slide milling and no permanent modifications.

A mount does not fit an Optics Ready model, and a plate does not fit a model without the cut. Choose your exact model, including the Optics Ready (OR) or MOS part of its name.

Optics Ready Canik models

We have optic plates for Canik pistols with a factory optic cut. Plates are available for the METE and for the TP9 SFx, TP9 Elite and TP9 SFx Rival models. The plate goes into the optic cut and lets you mount a red dot with a matching footprint.

Two plate families

• Canik METE: one plate, an Outer Impact type C. It fits Trijicon RMR, C-More RTS and Docter footprints. See Optics ready plates for Canik METE.
• Canik TP9 SFx, TP9 Elite and TP9 SFx Rival (S): one optic cut for all these models. The plates fit the TP9 SFx and SFx mod.2, the TP9 Elite Combat and the TP9 SFx Rival. See Optics ready plates for Canik TP9 Elite.

A METE plate does not fit the TP9 models, and the other way round. Check your model before you order.

Footprints for the TP9 models

For the TP9 family, three plates cover most pistol red dots:

• Toni System type A: Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter.
• Toni System type B: Trijicon RMR and C-More RTS.
• Outer Impact type C: Trijicon RMR, C-More RTS and Docter.

Toni System machines its plates from aluminium in Italy, Outer Impact from aluminium in the USA.

Installation

Remove the factory cover plate from the optic cut. Screw the optic plate into its place, then screw the red dot onto the plate. No milling is needed and you can do it yourself. Threadlocker on the screws is recommended.

Canik models without an optic cut

We have red dot mounts for Canik TP9 pistols without an optic cut. One mount family fits the TP9 SF, TP9 SFX, TP9 SA and TP9 Elite Combat. The mount replaces the rear sight, with no permanent modifications.

Footprints

• Toni System type A: Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter.
• Toni System type B: Trijicon RMR and C-More RTS.
• Outer Impact type C: Trijicon RMR, C-More RTS and Docter.

Installation

Drift the rear sight out of the dovetail with a sight pusher or a punch. Push the mount into the same dovetail and fix it. Then screw the red dot onto the mount. No slide milling or permanent modifications are needed. See Installation tools.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install an optic plate on my Canik at home?

Yes. No milling is needed, and you can do it yourself.

1. Remove the cover plate from the optic cut.
2. Screw the optic plate into the cut.
3. Screw the red dot onto the plate.

Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

Which red dots will fit my Canik?

It depends on the plate you choose. Every plate takes one footprint or a group of footprints. For Canik pistols we have plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints.

Choose your red dot first and find its footprint in the specifications. Then take the plate with the same footprint.

Does a TP9 plate fit my METE?

No. The METE has its own plate, the Outer Impact type C for Trijicon RMR, Docter and C-More RTS. The TP9 plates fit the TP9 SFx, TP9 Elite and TP9 SFx Rival-S.

I have a Holosun 507K. Which plate do I need?

None of our Canik plates takes the Holosun K-series footprint of the 507K. For a Canik, choose a red dot with the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter or C-More RTS footprint.

Can I put a red dot on my Canik TP9 without an optic cut?

Yes. The mount goes into the rear sight dovetail in place of the rear sight. No milling and no permanent changes, so you can put the rear sight back at any time.

Can I install the mount at home?

Yes, if you have a sight pusher or a punch.

1. Drift the rear sight out of the dovetail.
2. Push the mount into the dovetail and tighten it.
3. Screw the red dot onto the mount with a drop of threadlocker on each screw.

You find the tools in Installation tools.

My TP9 SFx is Optics Ready. Will these mounts fit?

No. A pistol with a factory optic cut takes an optic plate, not a mount. See Optics ready plates for Canik models.
