A miniature red dot on a pistol-pattern host gives you what irons cannot: one aiming point, on the target plane, with both eyes open. Our customers fit these to airsoft and training replicas, to competition guns, to pistol-calibre carbines, and — in Northern Ireland — to handguns. At Xtreme Tactical we stock the full range of pistol dot sights from Holosun, Trijicon, SIG Sauer and more, with £5 tracked UK delivery.
Everything here turns on footprint. Full-size slides and plates are usually RMR pattern; slim slides take the smaller RMSc pattern. For a sealed emitter that shrugs off rain and pocket debris, our enclosed red dot sights are the ones to look at. Prefer a green reticle? See green dot sights or gold dot sights. Mounting to a slide with no cut, or to a rail? Browse red dot mounting plates and red dot sight mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a pistol optic fit my slide?
It depends on your slide's footprint, commonly RMR or RMSc. Check your optics-ready cut or adapter plate against the optic's footprint before ordering — our footprint compatibility chart and the RMR vs RMSc guide do the matching for you.
Which optic for a slim slide?
The K-series and EPS Carry class of optic is built for narrow slides, where a full-size RMR-footprint sight will overhang. Our guide to compact pistol red dot sights walks through the trade-offs.
What do I need to know about UK paperwork?
Fitment and licensing are separate questions, and the second depends entirely on the host rather than the optic. Rather than summarise it here, we have written it up in full: do you need a licence for a rifle scope, red dot or torch in the UK.
Will there be an import bill?
No — we dispatch from our own UK warehouse. Why buy UK stock instead of importing sets out what a US import actually costs.
