Moving the Riton 3 TACTIX MPRD 2 between pistols

Page last updated September 29, 2026. Data compiled September 2026 by the site administrator.

You already own it. Here is what changes from one slide to the next: the plate, the screw thread at each joint, the torque, the tools and any thread trap. 38 kinds of slide, covering 150 pistols, grouped by how the optic mounts and then alphabetically. Nothing is ranked. The Riton 3 TACTIX MPRD 2 page has its specs and the per-pair answers.

The screws are not the same on every slideAcross these slides the optic's screws go into 3 different threads (#6-32, M3, M4), and the screws from one pistol's box are often wrong for the next. Check the thread for the slide in front of you, and start every screw by hand.

24 of the 38 blocks have a figure marked not on file: no maker publishes it where this site could find it, so the plate maker or a gunsmith is the source. How the data is checked.

Mounts straight to the slide

Canik METE optic cut (RMSc plus RMRcc or RMR)

Direct Direct mount

4 slides: Canik METE SFT, Canik METE SFx, Canik METE SF, Canik METE SFT Pro

Optic → slide: M3 or M4, by optic baseCheck your slide's thread, then buy screws to match.
Optic torque: 10–15 in-lb, per the optic or plate maker
Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

Thread trapThe METE's optic lid interface comes tapped M3 or M4, depending on which base is fitted, and Canik sells a screw set for each. Your slide is tapped M3 or M4. No date or serial-number rule from the maker says which a slide has, so there is no shortcut. To tell which, turn an M3 screw in by hand only: if it catches and runs in smoothly, the slide is M3; if it wobbles and never bites, the slide is M4. Never put a driver on a screw that won't start by hand.

GLOCK Slimline MOS (43X / 48)

Direct Direct mount

3 slides: GLOCK 43X MOS, GLOCK 48 MOS, GLOCK 43X / 48 Rail MOS

Optic → slide: M4 × 0.7Supplied with the optic.
Optic torque: 10–15 in-lb, per the optic or plate maker
Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

GLOCK Slimline MOS-K

Direct (cross-fit) Direct mount — cross-compatible

Slide: GLOCK 43X / 48 MOS-K

Optic → slide: M3Buy M3 screws. The ones in the optic's box are cut for M4.
Optic torque: 10–15 in-lb, per the optic or plate maker
Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

Thread trapTapped M3, not the M4 of the earlier Slimline MOS. The two slim GLOCK cuts look alike but take different screws; mixing them up is the most common cross-threading mistake on slim GLOCKs. This slide is tapped M3, while a Shield RMSc optic typically ships M4 screws. Start one by hand before using a driver.

RMSc-pattern direct cut

Direct Direct mount

25 slides: Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum, Smith & Wesson CSX E-Series Optics Ready, Springfield Armory XD-S Mod.2 OSP, Canik METE MC9 / MC9L, Shadow Systems CR920 / CR920P, FN Reflex MRD, Beretta APX A1 Carry, Ruger MAX-9, Ruger Ruger-5.7 Optics Ready, Taurus TX22 Compact, Staccato CS, Palmetto State Armory Dagger Micro, Palmetto State Armory 5.7 Rock Optics Ready, Mossberg MC2sc Optic Ready, IWI Masada Slim, Archon Firearms Type B / Type D OR, Girsan Witness2311, Tisas Carry DS / Duty DS, Stoeger STR-9MC, SCCY CPX RDR / DVG-1 RDR, Avidity Arms PD10, Rock Island Armory STK100, Bersa BP9CC OR, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus Carry Comp, Canik METE MC9 Prime

Optic → slide: M4 × 0.7 usually; some slides M3 or #6-32Supplied with the optic.
Optic torque: 10–15 in-lb, per the optic or plate maker
Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

Thread trapNo screw thread is on file for this slide, and slim cuts from different makers are tapped M3, M4 or #6-32. Start each screw by hand. If it binds, stop and check the pistol's manual or ask the maker.

S&W M&P 5.7 direct cut

Direct Direct mount

Slide: Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7

Optic → slide: #6-32 × 1/2 inBuy #6-32 screws. The ones in the optic's box are cut for M4.
Optic torque: 10–15 in-lb, per the optic or plate maker
Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

Thread trapDocumented as #6-32 × 1/2 in for Holosun K optics, a different thread from either GLOCK slim cut despite the similar footprint. This slide is tapped #6-32, while a Shield RMSc optic typically ships M4 screws. Start one by hand before using a driver.

S&W M&P Shield optics-ready cut

Direct Direct mount

3 slides: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus Optics Ready, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield M2.0 Optics Ready, Smith & Wesson M&P Equalizer

Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

Thread trapS&W doesn't publish this thread. Shield Sights and TACRIG both sell #6-32 screws for these slides. This slide is tapped #6-32, while a Shield RMSc optic typically ships M4 screws. Start one by hand before using a driver.

SIG P322 optic cut (RMSc pattern)

Direct Direct mount

Slide: SIG Sauer P322 / P322 Comp

Optic → slide: M3 × 0.5Buy M3 screws. The ones in the optic's box are cut for M4.
Optic torque: 10–15 in-lb, per the optic or plate maker
Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

Thread trapSIG lists M3 × 0.5 screws for the P322, the same as early P365 slides. This slide is tapped M3, while a Shield RMSc optic typically ships M4 screws. Start one by hand before using a driver.

SIG P365 optic cut (RMSc pattern)

Direct Direct mount

7 slides: SIG Sauer P365 Optics Ready, SIG Sauer P365X, SIG Sauer P365XL, SIG Sauer P365-XMACRO / XMACRO Comp, SIG Sauer P365-AXG Legion, SIG Sauer P365-380, SIG Sauer P365 Fuse

Optic → slide: M3 × 0.5 or M4 × 0.7, by slideCheck your slide's thread, then buy screws to match.
Optic torque: 10–15 in-lb, per the optic or plate maker
Tools: Torque wrench, Driver bits, Calipers, Degreaser, Witness-mark paint or lacquer
To mount: $150–300approximate street prices, September 2026

Thread trapSIG tapped early P365 optic cuts M3 × 0.5 and later ones M4 × 0.7, and sells a screw set for each. The model name doesn't tell you which slide you have; SIG's screw-set page shows both. Your slide is tapped M3 or M4. No date or serial-number rule from the maker says which a slide has, so there is no shortcut. To tell which, turn an M3 screw in by hand only: if it catches and runs in smoothly, the slide is M3; if it wobbles and never bites, the slide is M4. Never put a driver on a screw that won't start by hand.
