Strike Industries LITESLIDE® MRDS Adapter Plate – For Glock® 43 / 43X / 48 (Gen 3–5 Slimline) – Black – RMR®-Footprint (G43RMR) – UPC 793811766325
Turn your slimline Glock into a modern, optic-equipped EDC with the Strike Industries LITESLIDE® MRDS Adapter Plate. Purpose-built for the Glock® 43, 43X, and 48 (Gen 3–5 slimline format), this black adapter plate interfaces with the Strike Industries LITESLIDE cut and gives you a secure mounting surface for RMR®-footprint micro red dots. The result: faster sight acquisition, both-eyes-open situational awareness, and repeatable zero—all in a lightweight, carry-friendly package. Model G43RMR (UPC 793811766325) delivers the fit, finish, and durability serious EDC users expect.
Why an MRDS on a slimline Glock? A red dot lets you focus on the target while the dot appears in your field of view, speeding up your first shot and improving precision on follow-ups—especially in low light or non-ideal shooting positions.
Key Benefits
Direct, secure optic mounting: Designed around the Strike Industries LITESLIDE® for G43-series pistols to give your RMR-footprint optic a solid, repeatable seat.
Carry-ready profile: Low, clean geometry that helps minimize printing and protects the optic body during daily carry.
Faster sight picture: MRDS improves target focus and reduces sight alignment time compared to traditional irons alone.
Lightweight & durable: Precision-machined with tight tolerances to keep weight down and withstand EDC abuse, training, and recoil cycles.
Install-friendly design: Purpose-built for the G43/43X/48 slimline pattern to simplify setup with included hardware (varies by lot; see your package insert).
Compatibility
Firearms: Glock® 43, 43X, 48 (slimline format), Gen 3–5 when using a Strike Industries LITESLIDE® that accepts this plate.
Optic Footprint: RMR® pattern (e.g., Trijicon RMR / RMR Type 2; many Holosun C/ T models like 407C/507C/508T use the same footprint).
Sights/Co-witness: Co-witness capability depends on your front/rear sight height and the optic’s window height. Tall/“suppressor-height” sights may be required for lower-third or absolute co-witness.
Note: This plate is intended for LITESLIDE-equipped G43-series pistols. For factory slides or other footprints (e.g., RMSc/Shield), select the correct Strike Industries plate.
Feature Highlights
Optimized fit: Engineered specifically for the Strike Industries G43 LITESLIDE® optic cut to maintain alignment, torque, and zero.
Low-snag geometry: Beveled edges help reduce holster drag and clothing snag points.
Tight-tolerance hardware: Proper-length screws and posts (per package) help resist shift under recoil; use thread locker per SI specs.
Protective finish: Black finish blends with most slides and resists sweat, oil, and daily wear.
Serviceable design: Easy to remove for cleaning, optic swaps, or battery changes (optic-dependent).
Installation (Quick Start)
Unload & clear the pistol.
Degrease slide/plate/fasteners; check threads and posts are clean.
Seat the adapter plate into the LITESLIDE® pocket—confirm flush, no debris.
Mount the optic to the plate using the correct-length screws; apply a small amount of blue thread locker (follow optic maker’s guidance).
Torque to spec (follow Strike Industries and optic manufacturer torque values).
Function check: Rack the slide—verify no striker/safety plunger interference, verify dot remains on.
Confirm zero at your preferred distance (common: 10–25 yards for EDC); re-check after first range session.
Pro tip: After 100–200 rounds, re-torque and witness-mark screw heads to monitor any movement.
Best Practices for EDC Red Dots
Battery & brightness: Start with a fresh battery and a setting you can see in daylight without blooming at night.
Iron sight plan: Use backup irons as a reference; confirm co-witness before carry.
Maintenance: Keep the lens clear; a cotton swab and lens-safe cleaner prevent micro-scratches and artifacting.
Holster fit: Verify holster clearance with your optic/plate combo—adjust or choose an optic-cut holster as needed.
Use Cases
Concealed carry & duty backup: Faster dot acquisition and clearer aiming under stress.
Range & training: Build consistent presentation—train to find the dot naturally with both eyes open.
Competition (micro/CCW divisions): Small-frame dot performance with minimal slide weight penalty.
Prepared citizens: Enhanced precision for low-light and unconventional shooting positions.
