Pistol Dot Footprints and Fitment: What dots fit which guns, and how?

So you've made up your mind that you're going to put a dot sight on your pistol. Now what? Here's the low down with some real world examples of optics ready pistols, adapter plates, dovetail mounts, 1913 Picatinny mounts, and even more.

[@coldpaw1930]

Never thought i would like red dots on pistols until i threw a Sentinel on my G48. Now Im kicking myself for not doing it sooner, Great Product

[@sheakiknumaafalaphd7121]

Mike doesn’t mess around with semantics and I definitely dig it.

[@BaileyMSN]

Just getting into guns as of lately and your guys videos clarify a lot of the questions I've had about optics

[@trendy_d2103]

Thank you for being very descriptive and thorough about the different options of optics you can choose from, depending the application or size of firearm. Been really interested in your product since I met you at the NRA Show in Indy a couple of years ago.

[@fngmike]

Thanks for the Christmas promotion that brought me here. I have two slides for RMR waiting, lol.

[@VincePoppaBear]

I love your green dots, so much easier to pick up with old eyes! I have your Kingslayer, Blade and Liberator optics and love them. Appreciate all you guys do for us Veterans! Merry Christmas!!

[@TheRetiredVeteran]

What do they do for veterans?

[@gfrail]

I have heard nothing but good things about Swampfox optics. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.

[@mrshort2379]

now see, that is what I like about SwampFox Optics, especially their pistol dots. because they are not just for pistols, they can be used on anything you can mount them on, and they are reliable and dependable. once again than you for the lesson in dot optics, very valuable information. keep up the awesome work. Thank you

[@andrewazure]

Added a Sentinel green dot to my Glock 48 and I love it. Green is way easier for my eye to pick up. Sent the slide out to Nameless Armament to be milled and Nate did a fantastic job and had the slide back to me in two weeks.

[@rong.7852]

Always lots of good info on the SFO videos. My first two are on a VR80 first and then one for a TX22 comp. Both green circle dots and both great.

[@musketbal]

I like the fact that my Liberty red dot fits perfectly without any part of the sight body hanging over the width of the slide like my Holosun 507C does.

[@desertarmor427]

I watch as many videos as I can. You provide good and accurate information. Keep up the good work.

[@talon9978]

great to know what optics will work on what pistols

[@Hammer.Paladin]

I like that you're giving so much information in a relatively short video. I hate it when a presenter goes on and on and on without really giving any worthwhile information. Great job, you need to give lessons to other UA-camr,s that don't know how to give much needed information without boring the viewer. Also, I wish the industry would truly standardize the footprints or at least be smart enough to post the footprint in a clear and straight to the point in their product description.

[@az_desert_outdoors]

You guys build great optics, I enjoy my sentinel, king slayer, and my Arrowhead!

[@seanodle1295]

Great video and really like the recommendations of the mounts and plates. no nonsense and not high roller gun snobby.

[@mbutler7588]

Thank you for the lesson in dot optics, very valuable information. keep up the awesome work. Thank you!

[@jasperwilson4377]

Full of useful need to know information, not just click bait videos. I love these guys.

[@bmartin3220]

Great video and really informative. I started off with the Tomahawk on my Galil Ace Gen 2 and added a Justice on the offset. Eventually moved that to my Panzer Arms BP12 and just added the Sentinel to my Canik METE SFT. Love them all. Sold on Swampfox optics.

[@erikfischer2658]

Nice video. I love all of my pistol optics from you guys!

[@chrisclymer6184]

Great video! I'm up in the air on optics and have been doing some research. This was beneficial to my search!

[@theeemightybuck1]

Hey Swampfox, this video has been the most helpful in figuring out my optic situation. Buying one today.

[@stinky_taco]

Have several of your optics, love them all.

[@Ragnar_Helsson]

Glad you guys added a green option to the Liberty and Justice.

[@TapRackBang72]

Great stuff! Haven't committed to a red dot yet, but this gets me closer to it.

[@nicks1696]

Nice to see more additions to the market

[@millyinmn3658]

Thank you for explaining this as it was very helping as I wasn’t sure which model to get. I am wanting one for a minimal rifle build.

[@tracydelozier7731]

Hey Mike, as an LE firearms instructor, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos and like your delivery. I started using Swampfox products this year starting with an ARROWHEAD LPVO on my Springfield M1A SOCOM CQB that I use for patrol designated marksman purposes. I look forward to swapping out my Burris Fastfire III on my HK VP9 and going to a Justice eventually. Great products. Thanks.

[@Wilders53]

Just ordered a Swampfox yesterday for my regular p365! Can't wait to get it! Had a romeo zero 3 months before it crapped out!

[@rubenzamora1608]

Always great information. Swampfox optics are so nice without breaking the bank.

[@glorifiedweasel2476]

First company I went to for my optics. Love my Arrowhead. Now that I'm building a new rifle I'm crossing my fingers gers for an lpvo with a ffp from you guys.

[@kimberlycurrie9580]

[@travismccants2976]
