Accessories for Ruger American

The Ruger American is the company's full size striker fired pistol. If yours has a plain slide, the part on this page lets it take a red dot anyway.

Outer Impact type C mount

Machined from aluminium, the mount slides into the factory rear sight dovetail. Any dot whose base follows the Trijicon RMR, C-More RTS or Docter pattern will bolt on, whatever the brand.

No permanent change

Because nothing on the slide is cut, the pistol can go back to its original sights at any time. That makes the mount a low risk way to try a dot before committing to a milled slide.

Before you order

Check that your American is the standard, non-cut version, and look up the footprint of your optic. A model with a factory cut needs a plate instead, which we do not stock for the American at present.

The mount is on Red dot mounts for Ruger American.
