How to Install Your DoveDOT Mounting Plate Kit 

Did you end up buying it? I have a G19 gen 3 I want to put a red dot on but don't want to get it cut. This looks slick almost looks unnoticeable unless you look at the gun closely maybe

@@Pitudo760 hope I’m not to late it’s good enough to shoot at the range with and figure out if your gonna like optics on your pistol or not for me I found out I have a stigmatism In my vision witch isn’t horrible to deal with but as far as reliability it doesn’t hold zero all that well.shifts from side to side for me after 50 rounds.

It's designed to be very tight. You may have to brace the slide in a vice or some other type of holding system to get enough force to seat the Adapter. Also be sure that the set screw is not making contact with the dovetail floor, otherwise it will keep you from being able to seat the system.

@@dovemounts8840 yea I removed the set screw from the start. I have a vise but not sturdy enough. Had to take it to gunsmith. But I'm glad mine was extra tight at least. I was hitting pretty hard. He bore sighted the irons and I'm going to range this weekend to zero my red dot. It really looks awesome. Sits pretty flush with slide. I can barely see the gap. Wish RU-vid allowed pics I'd post it.

@@farmageddon2978 shoot us a few on instagram @dovemounts !

Yes we do. Select SW Shield from the drag down bar on the product page of our DoveDOT plate system.

As long as your holster is rated for "suppressor height" sights it should be fine!

Unfortunately not. Stoeger will need its own model.

As of right now we don't have one for Taurus pistols. They use Glock sights but have a much different chamfer on their slides, which causes the Glock DoveDOT™ to hang over the rear of the slide. We could have something for Taurus soon though!

@@dovemounts8840 hell yea brother! I hope so, I can't wait!

Plate is force fit into the dove tail. The set screw pushes into steel at the bottom of the dove tail to lock it in place. There is no hole there.

You certainly can! Just match the height of our included front sight that comes in the package of the model you order and you're good to go! You can also mix and match heights to find the sweet spot that you want your irons to be zeroed by changing the height of the front sight you use.

It will not unfortunately. The slides are different and cause some clearance issues.

You want to use a hammer and punch to set them into place. The angled side with the serrations should be facing the shooter when the irons are installed correctly.

Thanks for the quick reply!

@@dovemounts8840 Hi again. I installed the front sight with no problem. The rear sight is a different story. I got it on about 80% of the way, but it won't go any further and I'm afraid to keep beating on it. Do you have any suggestions?

There's no way to adjust vertical mechanically, however, you can try using a different method of sighting the irons, such as "burying the front sight" or placing the target "on top of the front sight" rather than covering it with the front sight.

@@dovemounts8840 But when i tried to zero it at 15 yards i need to put the front sight completely under the rear sight and i cannot even see the front sight anymore. Also if i put my red dot on there I could see even less of the front sight, which makes the iron sight co-witness essentially just useless...

@@djake1743 are you trying to use the sights as a lower 1/3 cowitness? When the red dot is properly zeroed the dot should be above the front iron, not in line with it. Also, our iron sights are recommend for 10 yard backups.

@@dovemounts8840 Okay I will try zeroing it at 10 yard and see if it works better. Thanks.

I would really recommend using blue rather than red. The set screw is extremely small, so red may hold it too tightly and cause it to strip if you ever do have to take it off for any reason. We've done extensive testing with just the friction fit and blue Loctite and the mount has held up perfectly.

@@dovemounts8840 thanks again. Will go with blue

yes!

@@Arp_reezy we have a model for the G3C

Anything K series, so 407k, 507k, eps, and eps carry.

Because it's extremely easy to do and It gives the customer free choice of color, versus buying one pre installed and then realizing they would have preferred the other color.

Any holster that is rated for "supressor height" sights should have enough clearance. Front sight is .365" tall if you have a way to measure the holster.

@@dovemounts8840 i went ahead and got the ridge cya holster so it will fit thanks for help

Optics are not included. We also don't produce optics, just the plates. All the optics we carry are from other manufacturers.

What would be a good website for starter optics

@@Onlyy1TQ the Swampfox Sentinel is one of the best optics you can get for the money. Its available directly through us.

Yes the Glock model DoveDOT™ will work on all Glock models except the G44 since it uses a polymer slide.

Anything that is RMS/RMSc footprint.

GLOCK haterrrr

Nope, still kicking. We're just very popular!

Send us an email and we'll get you some more fiber sent out because sometimes accidents happen?

Did several during prototyping! We've got a professional one coming soon for YT!

@@dovemounts8840 Eagerly awaiting that vid! Really want to see how this holds up and maintains zero after high round counts and some abuse. Thanks for the great install video!
