COLT 1911 OPTICS PLATE DPP BLK

Description

The Colt 1911 Optics Plate for the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro is built for shooters who want to run a red dot on a 1911 without committing to a slide milling job. Rather than sending your pistol out for permanent metalwork, this plate mounts directly to the rear of the slide, bridging the gap between a standard 1911 rear sight cut and the DeltaPoint Pro footprint. That approach preserves the original slide and keeps the option open to return to iron sights.

The plate is precision-machined from aluminum and finished in matte black, which keeps weight addition minimal and avoids introducing glare at the mounting surface. Fit is specific to Colt 1911 pistols, so the geometry is dialed in for that platform rather than being a universal adapter with shim compromises. Secure mounting matters here because any movement between the plate and the slide introduces zero shift — a problem that becomes apparent at distance and compounds under recoil.

Pairing this plate with the DeltaPoint Pro positions the optic low over the bore, which supports a more natural cheek-to-sight presentation than riser-mounted solutions. For competitive shooting, carry, or simply running the 1911 with a modern sighting system, this plate removes the need for gunsmithing while keeping the mounting interface purpose-built. It is sold as an adapter plate only; the DeltaPoint Pro optic is purchased separately.
