Red dot adapters for Tanfoglio models

This collection brings together every red dot adapter we have for Tanfoglio models: optics ready plates for Tanfoglio models with a factory optic cut, and red dot mounts for Tanfoglio 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 Tanfoglio model take

• Optics Ready Tanfoglio 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.
• Tanfoglio 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 Tanfoglio models

We have optic plates for Tanfoglio pistols with a factory optic cut. Plates are available for the Stock 2 Optic and the Stock 3 Optic.

Stock 2 Optic: before or after 2022

The Stock 2 Optic made before 2022 and the one made after 2022 need different plates. Check the production year of your pistol. For both versions, Toni System makes two plates:

• Type A for Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter.
• Type B for Trijicon RMR and C-More RTS.

See Optics ready plates for Tanfoglio Stock 2 Optic [Post 2022] and Optics ready plates for Tanfoglio Stock 2 Optic [Pre 2022].

Stock 3 Optic

For the Stock 3 Optic, a plate for the Shield RMSc footprint is available. See Optics ready plates for Tanfoglio Stock 3 Optic.

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.

Tanfoglio models without an optic cut

We have red dot mounts for Tanfoglio pistols without an optic cut. Most mounts replace the rear sight. A side mount installs on the frame. You need no slide milling and no permanent modifications.

Which mount fits which Tanfoglio

• Stock, Match and Limited Custom family: one mount family fits many models, including the Stock 1, Stock 2, Stock 3, Match and Limited Custom. Toni System type A and B and Outer Impact type C. See Red dot mounts for Tanfoglio Stock 2 and Red dot mounts for Tanfoglio Limited Custom.
• Stock 2: also a Shield Sights mount for the Shield RMSc footprint.
• Force Esse: its own mounts in type A and B. See Red dot mounts for Tanfoglio Force Esse.
• Witness 1911: type A and B. Not for the Witness 1911 Custom. See Red dot mounts for Tanfoglio Witness 1911.

Side mount for frames with pre-drilled holes

Some Tanfoglio frames have pre-drilled holes for a side mount, such as the Domina, Gold Match and Limited Custom. The Toni System side mount installs there. It takes the Trijicon RMR footprint. The red dot sits on the frame and does not move with the slide. See Red dot mounts for Tanfoglio Domina.

Toni System uses type letters for sets of footprints. Type A fits Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter. Type B fits Trijicon RMR and C-More RTS.

Outer Impact type C fits 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 Tanfoglio 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 Tanfoglio?

It depends on the plate you choose. Every plate takes one footprint or a group of footprints. For Tanfoglio 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 post-2022 plate fit my older Stock 2 Optic?

No. The Stock 2 Optic made before 2022 has a different cut. Choose the plate for the production year of your pistol.

Can I put a red dot on my Tanfoglio 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.

Rear sight mount or side mount?

A rear sight mount sits on the slide and moves with it. The side mount stays on the frame, which needs pre-drilled holes for it.
