Ruger 57 Optic Plate Adapter |
Purchased this plate to mount a Burris Fastfire 3 optic on my new Ruger 57. It worked like a charm. Installation was exactly as demonstrated in the video. All accompanying hardware installed exactly as intended requiring NO modifications or unexpected trips to the hardware store. I would highly recommend this product used in conjunction with the Burris Fastfire 3 optic. |

Other Reviewers are not intelligent.... |
Not sure what exactly is wrong with the other reviewers, but I can simply say they are WRONG. Ordered this optic plate, and mounted a Vortex Venom on my Ruger 57. Install was a breeze, no issues whatsoever with anything. Took 2 minutes max to install. Have over 3,000 rounds with the Ruger 57 + Optic Mount + Vortex Venom and have had ZERO ISSUES.
Sounds like people didn’t follow directions, or plain and simple should have had a gunsmith do their installs since they clearly couldn’t handle it.
Ruger 57 isn’t some $2,000 Gucci Gun. Plate was affordable, made for an affordable optic, on an affordable gun, and everything worked perfect. |

Worthless |
The screws are to long for the plate - was able to grind the screws down to fit only to find the plate would still not fit flat into the slide. Once I mounted the sight it was loose and sloppy fitting ......all I ended up with is marks on my new pistol and a peace of junk I can’t return.... |

Don’t know why people complain about it. |
Installed it with no problems at all, my red dot installed on it with no problems at all, would recommend it to everyone.
Some people just like to complain about everything. |

Junk |
Screws to long to mount optic, and the plate is to wide for the base of the
optic even though ruger says it will fit. Tried to modify screws so they would fit and the base plate stripped out. |

Ruger 57 optics plate |
I have the same problem with the optics plate. The screw on the left side fit,the right side hole seems larger in circumference,so i only have 1 screw holding my red dot on. I think ruger needs to rethink this optics mount plate & use metal and the correct size holes and screws that are not to long. I need to get another 1 but will not spend the 40$ just to have the same issues. |

Poor quality |
Purchased two of these and stripped screw holes on both. Tried to contact Ruger via webpage after the first and didn’t get a reply. As one other review states the Vortex Viper screws are too long. Expensive part poor quality. Doesn’t work as advertised |

Garbage |
I put a Vortex Venom on this plate which is the optic that you are required to remove in order to replace battery. Striped out first time I took it off and tried to put back on. I’ve read other review that said theirs striped while shooting. This thing is very soft |

For $40 it should at least come with screws for the optic !! |
Note to anyone buying this for a Vortex or Burris optic - you are going to have a HASSLE trying to mount the optic. 1> The screws that come with the optic are too long so youll have to trim them. Try that with hardened black steel or even try holding them to trim them.. lol. 2> The Viper optic which I purchased included screws - however - the thread pitch drilled on the plate did not match the thread pitch of the screws Vortex provided. Calls to Ruger came up empty - no one could tell me what the thread pitch is on the plate so I wasted an hour back and forth to hardware store rummaging their bins to find a screw that SORT OF works. I finally found some chrome screws that fit - looks really bad on a black handgun but at least my optic is secure. A little advice - when you charge us $40 for a $2 piece of aluminum , the least you could do is include five cents worth of freakin screws to allow the product you sell it for to FIT. Geesh. |
