Optics ready plates for Ruger Mark IV

This collection contains optic plates for the Ruger Mark IV. The plate goes into the factory optic cut of the slide and takes the red dot on top. Every plate is made for one footprint or a group of footprints, so you choose it by the footprint of your red dot. For the Ruger Mark III, see Optics ready plates for Ruger Mark III.
