Aftermarket Adapter Plates
If you have been searching online for adapter plates for your particular slide mod, then you have probably come across CHWPS, DPP, EGW, and many other mounting hardware for various optics.
Gun manufacturers usually do a good job by including these adapter plates when you purchase a optic ready pistol, and some require the user to buy them separately.
