Not sure which optics pattern to choose?  See Optics Compatibility for more information.

Compatibility notes:

• The uppers made by Tactical Solutions use a different thread pitch for the holes used to mount optics.  I do not currently have the correct screws available.  Please reach out using the contact us page for more info.
• Vortex Venom users: There’s more than one version of the Venom now, please verify which one you have before ordering on the Optics Compatibility page. If you have the older version, the mounting screws that come with your optic are too long, you’ll need some from our Assorted Screws page.
• Primary Arms SLx RS-10 users:  The body of this optic is thicker than most other Docter pattern optics.  You’ll need some longer screws from our mounting screws page
• The Aimpoint Micro mount is a tight fit.  Please check the Installation Instructions page before ordering.

Silencer Shop has released a few branded versions of the Ruger Mk. IV, commonly called the Ruger SSH.  Some of these pistols have a unique mounting hole pattern.  In general, the standard version uses 3 mounting holes, and the SSH version uses 4, and the spacing of the holes is also different.  Use the table below to make sure you select the correct mount from the dropdown.  Note the table below is not comprehensive, and Ruger is constantly adding new models to their catalog.  If you’re not sure about your pistol, please reach out using the contact us page.
On the SSH pistols, my mount uses two of the four holes, spaced 2.758″ apart, leaving one hole exposed.  You might also want to check out the set screws available on the Assorted Screws page if you want to plug the exposed hole left by the original rail.
