The TruGlo TG-TG8952D (also listed as TGTG8952D or TG8952D) is a pistol red dot sight adapter plate designed to expand optic compatibility on handguns.
Key Purpose and Compatibility
It converts a Docter/Vortex/4-post footprint (common on some slides cut for TruGlo TRU•TEC Micro, Vortex Viper, Docter, or Burris FastFire-style optics) to a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro (DPP) footprint, including Shield-pattern compatibility in some descriptions.
- Bottom side: Mounts to a pistol slide cut for the Docter/4-post pattern.
- Top side: Accepts a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro red dot (or similar Shield/DPP-compatible optic).
Features and Specs
- Material: CNC-machined steel for durability under recoil.
- Finish: Black with Nitride FORTRESS FINISH for corrosion resistance.
- Includes: Mounting hardware/screws.
- Height/Thickness: Approximately 0.15" (low profile to maintain sight height).
- Design: 4-post mounting system on the adapter side.
This adapter lets you use a DPP optic on a slide originally milled for a different footprint without permanent machining or additional plates. It is part of TruGlo's series of pistol red dot adapters:
- TG-TG8952A: RMR to DPP/Shield
- TG-TG8952B: RMR to TruGlo/Vortex/Docter/Burris
- TG-TG8952C: TruGlo/Vortex/Docter/Burris to RMR
- TG-TG8952D: TruGlo/Vortex/Docter/Burris (4-post) to DPP (this model)
It is not for RMR-cut slides (use other variants in the line for those). Always confirm your slide's exact optic cut before purchasing. It is lightweight, compact, and intended for direct mounting on compatible handgun slides.
