Overview
This right-side scope mount is designed for Colt-style semi-auto frames when you want to add optic support without drilling or tapping the pistol. It replaces the grip panel on the right side and is shaped to avoid interference with thumb safety operation, making it a practical option for compatible setups. The Quad Lock installation system secures the mount at four points, and it accepts Weaver-style rings for straightforward optic attachment. It is not compatible with ambidextrous safety or ambidextrous slide release configurations, so fit should be confirmed before installation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for the right side of a Colt-style semi-auto frame, so it is not a universal fit for all 1911 configurations.
- Cannot be used with ambidextrous safety or ambidextrous slide release, which limits compatibility with some setups.
- Accepts Weaver-style rings, so ring choice is tied to that mounting standard.
- Adds a scope-mounting solution without drilling or tapping, but it replaces the right-side grip panel rather than leaving the pistol unchanged.
