Red dot adapters for Beretta models

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

• Optics Ready Beretta 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.
• Beretta 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 Beretta models

We have optic plates, also called optics ready plates, for Beretta pistols with a factory optic cut. Beretta calls these models Optics Ready or RDO. Plates are available for the 92X family and the M9A4. Further plates fit the APX A1, APX RDO, 94X Performance and 80X Cheetah. The plate goes into the optic cut and connects it to the footprint of your red dot.

Which plate fits which Beretta

Beretta uses different optic cuts on different model lines. A plate fits only the line named in its title:

• 92X, 92XI, 92 GTS, 92X RDO and M9A4: one plate family fits all these models. See Optics ready plates for Beretta M9A4 and Optics ready plates for Beretta 92XI.
• APX A1 and APX RDO: a second plate family, for the APX A1 Full Size, APX A1 Compact and APX RDO. See Optics ready plates for Beretta APX A1.
• 94X Performance: its own plates. See Optics ready plates for Beretta 94X Performance.
• 80X Cheetah: its own plate for the Holosun K-series footprint. See Optics ready plates for Beretta 80X Cheetah.

A plate for the 92X family does not fit the APX, and the other way round. Each plate title lists the models it fits in brackets, for example [92X, 92XI, 92 GTS, 92X RDO, M9A4].

Footprints for the 92X family and M9A4

For the 92X, 92XI, 92 GTS, 92X RDO and M9A4, you can choose from these footprints:

• Factory Beretta plates: Trijicon RMR, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS and Aimpoint Acro.
• Toni System type A: Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter.
• Toni System type B: Trijicon RMR and C-More RTS.

Footprints for the APX A1 and APX RDO

• Factory Beretta plates: Trijicon RMR, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS and Aimpoint Acro.
• 2BME plates: Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter.
• Toni System type F: Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter.
• Toni System type G: Trijicon RMR and C-More RTS.

Note that Toni System uses different type letters on the APX plates. Always read the footprint list in the brackets.

If you have not chosen a red dot yet

On the 92X family and the APX, the factory plates cover five footprints. These are the Trijicon RMR, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS and Aimpoint Acro. The Shield RMSc footprint is only available on aftermarket plates from Toni System and 2BME. Red dots for compact pistols often use the RMSc footprint. Full-size red dots often use the RMR footprint. See Red dots.

Step by step

1. Find your exact model, for example 92XI or APX A1 Compact.
2. Find the plate family for that model in the list above.
3. Find the footprint of your red dot.
4. Choose the plate that names this footprint in its title.

Factory or aftermarket plate

Beretta makes its own plates in Italy from aluminium. Toni System, also in Italy, and 2BME in Poland make aftermarket plates from aluminium. The aftermarket plates add footprints that the factory range does not cover, such as the Shield RMSc. Both fit the factory optic cut in the same way.

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.

Beretta models without an optic cut

We have red dot mounts for Beretta pistols and shotguns without a factory optic cut. Most mounts replace the rear sight. For the 92X Performance, frame mounts are also available. You need no slide milling and no permanent modifications.

Which mount fits which Beretta

• 92, 96, 98, M9A1 and M9A3: one mount family. It fits the 92 models including the 92FS, 92X and 92G. Footprints: Trijicon RMR, Docter, Toni System type A and B, EGW type S. See Red dot mounts for Beretta 92, Red dot mounts for Beretta 96 and Red dot mounts for Beretta M9A3.
• 92X Performance: rear sight mounts in type A and B for the 92X Performance without optic cut. See Red dot mounts for Beretta 92X Performance.
• APX and APX Combat: separate mount families, both in type A and B. The APX mounts fit the APX Tactical, Centurion and Compact. They do not fit Optics Ready models. See Red dot mounts for Beretta APX and Red dot mounts for Beretta APX Combat.
• PX4: one family for the PX4, PX4 Storm, Storm Inox and Storm Special Duty. Toni System type A and B and Outer Impact type C. See Red dot mounts for Beretta PX4.
• 1301 Competition and Competition Pro: shotgun mounts in type A and B. See Red dot mounts for Beretta 1301 Competition.

Frame mounts for the 92X Performance

Frame mounts install on the bottom of the frame instead of the slide. The red dot then stays still when the slide cycles. They fit the 92X Performance, including the Open Division variant. Three versions exist:

• For the Trijicon RMR footprint.
• Type H for Shield RMSc, C-More RTS, Docter and Leupold DPP.
• For the C-More SR, ASR, ASRS and CSR red dots.

Footprints

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.

EGW type S fits Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Holosun K-series. Outer Impact type C fits Trijicon RMR, C-More RTS and Docter.

Makers

Most Beretta mounts come from Toni System in Italy. EGW and Outer Impact in the USA add mounts for the 92 family and the PX4. All are machined from aluminium.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install an optic plate on my Beretta 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 Beretta?

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

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

Which plate fits my 92XI?

A plate for the 92X, 92XI, 92 GTS, 92X RDO and M9A4. One plate family fits all these models. Choose the one with the footprint of your red dot.

Does an M9A4 plate fit my APX A1?

No. The APX A1 and APX RDO have their own plates. Choose a plate with APX in its title.

I want a Shield RMSc red dot on my 92X. Which plate?

The Toni System type A plate. The factory Beretta plates for the 92X family do not take the RMSc footprint.

Can I put a red dot on my Beretta 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.

Does the 92 mount fit my M9A1?

Yes. One mount family fits the 92, 96, 98, M9A1 and M9A3.

Rear sight mount or frame mount on the 92X Performance?

A rear sight mount moves with the slide. A frame mount stays still on the frame while the slide cycles. Frame mounts are common in Open Division competition.

My APX RDO 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 Beretta models.
