Red dot Taurus

#1 Post by Grifff »

Any suggestions for mounting a red dot on a Taurus lbr. I've rang around and it seems the rail which was available is like rocking horse poo.

I did see something that bolted in place of the rear sight, has anybody used these?

I also for them for a k22 but wasn't sure about the sight on the slide so bought a fab defense mount.

Cheers Grifff

Does it limit sight choice? I guess only certain ones will screw on.

I only used it with a vortex sparc,I reduced the length of mine to suit the sight I was using but I think it was long enough to fit a longer red dot/scope.
