A Complete Guide to Vector Optics Red Dot Footprints and Compatibility
Mounting a red dot sight correctly requires knowing the footprint — the specific pattern of holes and recesses on the bottom of the optic that matches a plate or mount on your firearm. This guide explains how Vector Optics defines its footprint names, how those relate to common industry standards, and which models fit each pattern.
How Vector Optics Classifies Footprints
Vector Optics uses its own naming system for footprints, but each corresponds to a widely used mounting standard from other brands. This means you can match plates and mounts from other manufacturers when the pattern is the same.
| Vector Optics Name | Compatible Industry Standard |
|---|---|
| MOJ | Trijicon RMR® |
| MGT | Shield RMSc / SMS |
| VOD | ACRO® |
| RUM | T-1™ / T-2™ micro-dot |
| GIN | C-More® RTS / STS |
| TEK | Docter / Noblex® |
For some red dots designed for specific pistols, Vector Optics uses SDM (Slide Direct Mount) so no adapter plate is needed.
Universal Adapter Options
To bridge different footprints and firearm types, Vector Optics offers several universal adapters:
| Adapter Model | Compatible Footprints | Application |
|---|---|---|
| SCFRM-21 Universal Adapter | MOJ / MGT / GIN / TEK | CZ 75 Shadow®, CZ 75 SP-01®, CZ P-10 C® |
| SCFRM-29 45° Offset Mount | MOJ / MGT / GIN / TEK | Picatinny rail offset |
| SCFRM-GK10 2-in-1 Adapter | MOJ / MGT | Glock® firearms & airsoft |
| SCFRM-GK11 4-in-1 Adapter | MOJ / MGT / TEK / GIN | Glock® firearms & airsoft |
These adapters make it easier to reuse optics across platforms without needing separate plates for each footprint.
