    Red dot newb (need help to install)

    I bought a SIG P320 M18 and wanted to put a red dot on it. After researching I decided to go with a Swampfox Liberty. From what I read I thought it would install without an adapter but apparently I was wrong. I reached out to Swampfox and they sent me a link to where I can get my gun milled to accept the red dot. Not what I want to do.

    So I'm wondering if anyone knows which adapter plate would work for what I need. Appreciate any help.
    I will stand for truth even if I stand alone.

    The last time I had faith in the News was when it was with Huey Lewis.

    May not be what you want to here but..
    Can you send back the Swampfox and buy something that will work?
    I'm thinking if Swampfox doesn't know of an adapter, there isn't one.
    We've all bought things that didn't work and suffered the consequences.

      It looks like Swampfox uses the Trijicon RMR pattern. Sig used the Leupold Delta Pro Point pattern. You will need an adapter plate to go from DPP to RMR

        There’s adapter plates to go from DeltaPointPro to RMR.

        This adapter fits slides cut for the RMR footprint. It allows attachment of DeltaPoint Pro footprint optics. Max slide cutout depth of 0.185". *Does not fit slides with threaded screw posts. You will need our other version instead. Click HERE.   Fits these slide cutouts: Trijicon RMR/SRO/RCR Holosun 407c/507c/507COMP/5


        It will cost some more money, and raise the optic height a bit, but its not milling and not sending the optic back!

          Sending it back or exchanging it would be the best solution. Holosun probably sells one that fits. SIG Romeo Pro also fits.

            Sorry to do this to you, but I audibly laughed when I read this. Rifle/long gun optics and handgun optics are very different breeds. I would not put a swampfox on anything facing any kind of major recoil.


            But this is not just to make fun of you, I wanted to provide you 3 different options. These go in order from most recommended vs least recommended:

            Option 1: Return and replace the Swampfox-
            Depending on where you bought it from, you might be paying a restocking fee, but just call it the cost of a learning experience.

            Sub-Option 1 (A): Buy a Sig Romeo-X Pro.
            Sub-Option 1 (B): Buy a Holosun SCS 320.
            These both direct mount to the gun without modification. The Romeo-X Pro has a rear-sight built into it that you lose when you remove the optic plate.

            Option 2: If you are still dead-set on using the Swampfox or just want to continue to use any optic with the RMR footprint, buy a Springer Precision Adapter plate/system.

            Option 3: Buy a P320 Pro-Cut Slide-
            These are cut for direct mounting of an RMR, but you will need to buy a sealing plate.

            You already stated you did not want to have it milled, so this was not included, but it remains an option.
