INSTALLATION
The Serendipity was originally designed to attach to 1911 style handguns for competition
shooting by drilling and tapping the frame and mounting the sight directly via the integral
mount.
The mounting legs allow for a maximum slide width of .950” (A).
The mounting legs allow for a maximum slide height of 1” (B).
The mounting pads can be machined to accomodate frame widths
between .750” and 1” (C).

STOP!!
Make sure your firearm is unloaded and the magazine and ammunition
has been removed before proceeding!
1. Before mounting the sight, you must remove the front and rear iron sights
from your slide.
2. With the firearm together and iron sights removed, slip the sight over the
front of the slide. Make sure the lens is toward the front and the switch
toward the rear. It may be necessary to spread the mounting pads apart in
order to slide them over the dust cover.
3A) The top of the mounting pads should be parallel to the slide / dust
cover. The clearance between the bottom of the slide and the top of the
mounting pads should be a minimum of .010" - .020" or about the thickness
of a business card. Make sure the slide does not contact the mounting pads
when cycled.
3. The mounting holes are countersunk for our specially made 5-40 mounting screws. NOTE! If oversized
mounting screws are used, the mounting holes will not be covered under warranty. Since the mount is designed
to be a drill and tap guide, you will need to clamp the sight to the dust cover in the exact position desired for
mounting. The suggested position is as follows:
Slide
Mounting
Pad
Clamp
Clearance
3B) Horizontally, the mounting pads
should be positioned just in front of the
slide stop. You may want to align the
tail of the sight with the rear edge of the
slide. Whichever position you choose,
you need to make sure the rear mount-
ing hole on each side will be drilled into
the dust cover and NOT the frame rail /
bridge area.

3C) The tail of the sight needs to be
centered over the rear of slide. Also,
make sure there is adequate clearance
between the top of the slide and the
underside of the sight. The slide should
not contact the sight when cycled.
