Crimson Trace Radiance Picatinny Rail Mount for Optics
Crimson Trace CorporationThe Crimson Trace RAD Picatinny Rail Mount is a precision-engineered, low-profile mounting solution designed to seat CT RAD and CT RAD Pro red dot optics directly onto standard Picatinny rails with minimal height addition.
- Machined from lightweight, durable 6061 aerospace-grade anodized aluminum
- Tailored fit for CT RAD and CT RAD Pro red dot sights
- Compatible with the Docter footprint for added versatility
- Fits most MILSPEC M1913 Picatinny rail systems reliably and securely
- Low-profile design keeps your sight height close to the bore axis
- Anodized finish resists corrosion and withstands demanding field conditions
Who This Is For
This mount is ideal for shooters who run a Crimson Trace CT RAD or CT RAD Pro red dot on a rifle, carbine, or shotgun equipped with a Picatinny rail, and want a dedicated, rock-solid mounting platform that maintains a low sight picture without the bulk of riser mounts. It's also a smart choice for those transitioning from a Docter-footprint optic to a CT RAD setup on an existing rail system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount work with optics other than the CT RAD and CT RAD Pro?
Yes — in addition to the CT RAD and CT RAD Pro, this mount is compatible with optics that use the Docter footprint pattern. However, it is not a universal mount and will not fit red dots with different screw patterns such as the RMR or ACRO footprint. Always verify your optic's footprint before purchasing.
Does this mount significantly raise the height of the optic above the rail?
No. The CT RAD Picatinny Rail Mount is specifically designed as a low-profile mount, keeping your red dot as close to the rail surface as possible. This helps maintain a natural cheek weld and a lower center of gravity compared to riser-style mounts, making it well suited for standard rifle and carbine setups.
Is any additional hardware included with this mount?
The mount is designed to work with the hardware associated with CT RAD and Docter-footprint optics. It is recommended to confirm that your optic's mounting screws are compatible and to use a thread-locking compound when installing to ensure a secure, zero-retaining fit under recoil.
