I have a Smith & Wesson Pro Core 40 5". Does anyone have a clue at what size I would need and if this will work with red dot optics if I add them?

These ones are usually for base model hand guns u have to have one made for any light or optic attachments.

I'm not sure what size you would need but it wouldn't fit with a red dot regardless. The holster hugs the slide all the way up and over the rear to have the level 3 retention. You might be able to add a red dot with a level 2 retention holster because they don't come over the rear sight

I didn't realize you were asking about this specific "Strikefire" mount. The email didn't specify the exact item of your question. For the Strikefire Cantilever Mount here is info direct from Vortex:Provides extra rail room for rear Back Up Iron Sights (BUIS) when using the StrikeFire red dot along with the VMX-3T magnifier. The cantilever ring will move the StrikeFire forward about one inch.NoteProvides absolute co-witness mounting height of 37 mm. Will work with most 30 mm red dot sights.Thanks!!

Kyle I think that this is a multiple variable answer. First you must understand the weapon system that you are placing this on... Probably an M4 style system. Most of these systems range in accuracy from 1-3 MOA and probably closer to 3. These are generally not a precision weapon system and thus would not be used for competition shooting. This optic is designed for CQB and if the dot which at its brightest is maybe 3MOA, covering your target is highly improbable. Even at 100 to 200 meters which I think is the maximun range on red dot sights anyways it would cover perhps a 6 to 12 inch disc. Farther than that you are shooting in the "Neighborhood" of your target. So this optic is suited specifically for closer target acquisition where this should not be a concern. So I guess to answer your question it depends on what your intended use of your weapon system is... Defending your house or shooting small disc? I think that the answer should be simple and for that this optic is perfect. If you need anything else feel free to write me back.

it works universally with any red dot site I looked at, the only consideration would be the length of your mounting rail, I have a DPMS Panther arms ar15, it works perfectly with that and a site mark reflective red dot. The 3x has an adjustable center point to allow for varying heights of red dot site. Hope this helps and good hunting!

i have it on my 5.56- so yes. I will get the measurements and get back with you tomorrow evening my dude. If it helps in the mean time, i use an EOTech, military spec one, with no interference. Talk to you tomorrow.

I use mine for my scope to clear the A2 front sight. It should work for your red dot just as well. You should get a riser that's tall enough for the optics to clear the front sight and put your eye at a comfortable height but not any taller. I have a couple heights for different optical configurations.

I put mine on a Remington 1911 R1. It was a bit too tight and I had to file a small amount of metal off before it fit perfectly. If installed properly and with the use of locktite on the hex screws, you will have absolutely no problem with it moving with recoil. My problem was that my cheap read dot sight would not maintain zero with the recoil, but it wasn't because the mount was moving. My only complaint about this mount is that it must be removed when field stripping the gun for cleaning. That then requires the red dot sight to be rezeroed after it is reinstalled. This is a bit inconvenient and a waste of ammunition.

Yes. I have these on my Compact .40 with rail. However, beware of these sights. I've had 2 front sights loose their illumination over the past year. I'm in process of getting my third front sight from the Mako Group who now handles all warranty claims. I think I'm gonna order the Trijicon directly from CZ-USA while they're on sale and just keep their replacement as a backup. Not happy with the failure rate on their front sight. My model number for the compact sights is ML-17777.

No Sir, it will not work. You would have to remove the saddle mount thats being used for the red dot

it should fit..i currently have a MP 15-22 with red dot sight and fore grip attached and it fits very nicely with plenty of leftover space.

I have this and if you do not have the pro sightmark recticle, it will be blury and or have a double image. It is frustrating at best. For someting that you want to be accurate at 100 yds, go with a decent scope like a Nikon 4.5-14 x 40 BDC and you will be extremly glad you did. I'm 56 and it is hard for the old eyes to see a 22 size hole in a target at a distance. This is my best sugestion. The red dot recticle is great for close proximity shooting, not so much for longer shooting, Target, etc.

I received my order on 9.9.14 have not used this yet. Also purchased 1" riser but don't think I need. In same order have Field Sport Red and Green Reflex Sight with 4 Reticles. Am using it without riser. Mounted this scope seems likely would work without riser. Sight I'm using does put front sight in cross but have only been out twice so far seems okay. Trying to keep lowest mount for close range. 1/2" riser would be plenty. This scope without sighting in had cross above frt sight. I'm also using M&P Sport 15

I have used this with an EoTech. Would guess red dots would be Ok, but not a magnified rifle scope, eye relief issues.

I have a 16" M4 Carbine with an Aimpoint H1 Red-dot and a 30 round mag ready for action in my safe. I dont know how that compares with your rifle/scope/25 round magazine, but it should give you a good reference point.

Your best bet is to go to the Crimson Trace website and look at which laser grip models fit which S&W; revolvers. The website is: http://www.crimsontrace.com/products/manufacturer/smith-wessonOnce you determine which model will fit your handgun, you can check Amazon for that model. If you have any more questions you can contact Crimson Trace directly and they can help you find the correct model (that is what I did and they were very helpful).

I bought mine for the Nexstar 8se so I don't know for sure about the 5". I can tell you how it mounts. It comes with a removable base with two slotted mounting holes about 1.5" on center. You remove the mount that's installed for the red dot scope and if the mounting screw holes are are 1" to 1 3/4" apart I don't see why it wouldn't mount. This is an all metal scope that weighs a couple of pounds so I don't know how it would affect the balance of a smaller scope.
