List of plates for the current M&P optic ready guns

[Geezerhood]

I searched the web for about an hour and gave up. Probably user error.

If someone could please post a link to the list or post the list here showing what plates come with the current S&W M&P optics ready guns I would greatly appreciate it!

Do you have an optics ready pistol? If so, check your owner's manual.

Don't have one? Go here:

Grab an optics ready 2.0 manual (M&P 2.0, Competitor) and look in the TOC. You'll find the list of plates and red dot sights.

Thanks. I found that list as you described.

I was hoping the newer production models would come with a plate for the Holosun "K" footprint that does not require the K to RMR interface plate to keep the mounting as low as possible, but unfortunately it appears, they do not.

The only option I found with a quick search is a $50+ plate from C&H Precision. I am going to be buying a couple of new M&P CORE pistols soon and want to mount Holosun EPS MRS sights on both so I will have to factor in the extra $100+ for the plates unless S&W starts offering one soon.

One of the planned purchases is the M&P 5.7. It looks like the Holosun K footprint sights will mount directly to the slide of the 5.7, so no interface plate from S&W or anyone else of any kind is needed to mount the EPS. I wish all the current production CORE slides were changed to that configuration. From this article:

Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 Optics Footprint
The M&P 5.7 has a modified RMSc footprint. Which means it has two recoil lugs in the front and none in the rear. This means you can mount a Holosun 407K, 507K, or EPS carry on it.

No adapter plate is needed but you will need 6-32x1/2 screws..... ​

The "skinnier" slide models, like the 5.7, and micro compacts (Shields, Bodyguards) are cut for the modified RMSc.

The wider slide models (full and compact) have a large, rather generic cut to accommodate a variety of footprints. Plates are needed to provide the correct recoil post locations, and fill in any gap for shorter red dots.

Here's a link to a page with various red dot footprints.
