Reddit mentions of Mako Universal Picatinny Rail Mount Fits Most Pistols

I wanna see it on a pistol using this.

If you're looking for just something for some range fun this might work. Just don't look at it, it hurts my eyes.

I think that 'Glock tactical scope mount' relies on the relative position of the factory Glock gen 3 and 4 rail to the frame. It looks like there's a little rod that needs to go through the Glock's frame, replacing one of the pins. If the Gen 1 & 2 picatinny mount put the rail in exactly the same place that Glock puts the factory gen 3 and 4 rail, it'll work, otherwise it won't.

The other product I linked earlier (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004O6CDV0/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944579862&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0010DQ21M&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1WK5WS27TRXVXF65KQJ3) will work with the gen 1 and 2 picatinny mount.

Again, I warn you: this is going to be a frustrating project, and the people on the internet will think it is silly when you show it to them.

Apparently it has really sketchy reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Mako-Universal-Picatinny-Mount-Pistols/product-reviews/B004O6CDV0/

So you think getting a bottom rail to top rail adapter is better in that case?

Example of what I'm talking about

if you want to add a reflex sight/red dot, it limits you to the Ruger Mk 3/4 versions with a top rail and the browning buckmark versions with rail. You might also be able to add an optic to the Beretta Neos U22 and the CZ75 with kadet kit.

The CZ75 with added Kadet kit would be the priciest option (probably around 800) but will give you a modifiable 22 conversion thats also a top 9mm.

You cant really attach any any optics to the slide of the S&W M&P22 compact, the Ruger SR 22 or the Walther P22 as it would negatively impact cycling. You could attach optics using an underbarrel rail mount but not the most convenient option (https://www.amazon.com/Mako-Universal-Picatinny-Mount-Pistols/dp/B004O6CDV0).

Overall id say the Ruger MK4 versions give you the most flexibility for the best price. If you dont care about optics the S&W M&P22 compact is also a very good deal.

Mako Universal Picatinny Rail Mount might handle the RMR, looks like some people have had trouble with it shaking loose under recoil. Bonus: it would probably add enough clearance for the TLR-1HL and Osprey to co-exist.

the only caniks that come optic ready are the sfx and the elite combat, and elite sc. you would have to have the slide milled to accommodate a plate, then could probably use a plate from any of those other 3 models.

edit: you could do something silly, and put one of these Mako Universal Picatinny Rail Mount Fits Most Pistols on

Would using something like this upside down work?

One of these universals might work. https://www.amazon.com/Mako-Universal-Picatinny-Mount-Pistols/dp/B004O6CDV0

That way you dont lose your rear sight. These have fallen out of favor, but they do work.

There's a few options. If you want something that will keep your gun in factory condition, you can get a picatinny rail mount. You could also get a dovetail mount that would take the place of your rear sights like this. However, my recommendation would be to send your slide to the folks at Jagerwerks, or somewhere similar, and have your slide milled for the red dot you want. I personally recommend the milling route if it's in your budget. And, if you can't afford couple hundo for JW, IMO you can't afford a red dot. The difference between a custom milled slide with Trijicon RMR vs. a dovetail mounted lower end red dot is palpable.
