TandemKross Shadow Mount V3.0: Advanced Optics Mount for Ruger Mark Pistols
The TandemKross Shadow Mount V3.0 for Ruger Mark III, Mark IV & 22/45 (TK26N0510BLK1) is the latest evolution of TandemKross’s popular optics mounting solution for the Ruger Mark series pistols. This third-generation mount provides a low-profile, rock-solid platform for mounting micro red dot sights such as the Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407/507 series, and other popular optics. The V3.0 version features several design improvements that enhance stability, ease of installation, and long-term durability.
The Ruger Mark III, Mark IV, and 22/45 pistols are excellent platforms for optics, but the factory rear sight dovetail is not ideal for modern red dot sights. The TandemKross Shadow Mount V3.0 replaces the rear sight and provides a dedicated, secure mounting surface that keeps the optic low and properly aligned with the bore. This results in faster target acquisition and improved accuracy, especially during competition or defensive shooting scenarios.
