Default Red Dot on 952 ?

I would like to add a Burris red dot to a 952-2, it has a Wilson adjustable rear now. Anyone know of a mount to do this ? I do not want to drill holes or permanently modify the pistol.

anybody have any ideas ?

Contact BME mounts. That is what I used on my 952. The web site doesn't current list the one I have but if you contact him he is a very helpful guy.

Also one of the Burris mounts for a Bomar or Kensight sight cut might work too.

My 952-2 DOES NOT have a Bomar style rear sight, it uses a Wilson Combat rear sight, no dovetail that I see, a screw holds it to the slide.

Here is a link to my sight:

I have two 952-2's, one very early 2004 and one mid-2008 production; both have original sights marked "LPA", both have a dovetails milled approx. halfway on the sight recess, just behind the slide serrations. I can provide pics this evening if that helps. I also have a 952 no-dash that has the Wilson sight but does not appear to be dovetailed. I hope this helps.

Sorry. Didn't know some of the 952-2s had Wilson rear sights. Mine has an LPA/Bomar style rear sight. My 845 has a Bomar but my PC 1911 and 945 both have Wilson sights.

Anyway a photo of the mount , mount package and original rear sight that came off my 952-2 are attached.
