Shadow Mount V2.0

Mounted the shadow mount to our Ruger 22/45s Lite to improve acquisition of the optic red dot. Only real issue is removing the rear sight, but with my universal rear sight removal tool the task was simple. Be sure to use blue Loctite (not supplied!) on the cleaned mounting ports and hardware. Great product, helped improve "dot" acquisition time!!

Shadow Mount Review

The Shadow Mount is awesome! You have two options of mounting the optic to have the optic either further back or forward to the muzzle. I have a vortex Razor I put on and it is lower than any other mount I have thus far. The fit and quality is top notch! Buy with confidence!

Shadow mount V2.0

fits great, it dropped my Vortex red dot much closer to the barrel.

Solid build... maybe too solid?

This plate does a nice job and is very strong. This also makes it cumbersome and not as light weight as others in the market. However, I feel that this playe could take a heavy beating and still work as expected. If you are looking for something with a smaller footprint,look for something else. If you don't care about that and want something that will survive the apocalypse then go with this one.

The shadow mount has solved the problem with compatibility with the vast electronic sight configurations & the low style mounts that I have used in the past.
