Direct-fit red dots for Ruger MAX-9 Optics Ready

In this category you can find all red dots that attach directly to the optic-ready slide of the Ruger MAX-9. No adapter plates, no dovetail mounts – the sight is secured straight to the pistol for a simple, compact setup.

The Ruger MAX-9 is built as a micro-compact carry gun, and a direct-fit red dot keeps the profile slim while giving you a fast, precise aiming point. By using the factory-cut interface in the slide, you avoid extra height and unnecessary hardware between the slide and the optic.

The MAX-9 uses a micro optic footprint (Shield RMSc / Holosun K-type), so you can choose a red dot that matches this pattern and keeps your sight picture low and natural over the bore.

Why choose a direct-fit red dot for Ruger MAX-9?

• Low mounting height for quick sight acquisition from concealment
• Fewer components between slide and optic for better durability and zero stability
• Sleek, snag-resistant configuration ideal for everyday carry holsters

How to select the right optic

When choosing a red dot, look for models listed as compatible with the Ruger MAX-9 Optics Ready or with a Shield RMSc / Holosun K-style micro footprint. All optics in this category are selected for direct-fit use on the MAX-9, so you don’t need any additional adapter plates.
