As i have a HW45 and was thinking of putting a red dot sight on it, can anyone recommend one that fits without having to bodge or modify it please.Originally Posted by Rumplestiltskin

Thanks guys ...... very helpful.
Went and bought myself an HW75 today . Red dot on order. So, with any luck, I'll be transferring from the audience to the firing line at this weekend's MVAC pistol HFT.
Ta again.

The Hawke Red Dot RD25 comes with split mounts which work fine on my HW45.
If you want to fit something else, split mounts are available separately, but they are expensive.

1mm doesn't sound much, and prob wouldn't make huge difference at pistol ranges, but it's certainly enough to look VERY odd and put me off, so went back in the box and on the shelf.
RD30 AGSR (the version with vertically split mounts) now ordered, but means that my 1st try at Pistol HFT (MVAC this Sunday) will be 'pure' - open sights. Prob won't hit a thing (the sheep better watch out!).
