Optics ready plates for Glock 23

The Glock 23 MOS is the compact .40 S&W Glock with the Modular Optic System. The factory cut accepts standard plates in common red dot footprints.

A slide-mounted red dot lets you aim with both eyes open and pick up the aiming point faster than iron sights, then hold it through recoil — which is why most competitors move to one. The plate is the part that makes it work: it bridges the Glock 23's mounting interface to the footprint of your chosen optic and keeps it sitting low and rigid over the bore.

Fit depends on two things matching at once: the Glock 23's slide cut or rail and your red dot's footprint. Some plates also build in a rear sight so you keep a co-witness iron without raising the optic. Confirm both the cut and the footprint on the individual product page before ordering.
