Rimfire pistol question

[danr]

Do you’all know of anyone that makes a picatiny rail (drill/tap) that will sit atop a 1911 slide for optics ala Ruger 22/45 Tactical. More specifically a Kimber .22 conversion slide. Here’s kind of what I’m going for but sits too high in my opinion.

What do you plan on bolting to the top of your pistol? A Kimber Rimfire is not like a 22/45 where the bolt reciprocates within the receiver. Your whole top-end cycles back and forth and adding a shit-ton of additional mass is going to slow it down enough to play hell with reliability.

An RDS like a Burris Fastfire or such. Should work I think. A much lower profile rail would reduce weight.

So get a red dot mount to replace your rear sight. Still might not run as smooth as you think.

There you go. Didn’t realize that was available. Thanks

There you go. Didn’t realize that was available. Also gonna do the threaded barrel extension/replace with threaded barrel to run a Dead Air Mask on it. That should help out with cycling.Thanks

Look at the Leupold micro red dot. Very small and fits in the rear sight slot.
