Crimson Trace Picatinny Low Mount And Riser, for CTS-1400

• Low-profile mounting height: Keeps the CTS-1400 close to the rail for a compact setup that suits shotguns and other long guns where a lower sight line is preferred.
• Picatinny rail compatibility: Fits most Picatinny rails, making it a practical way to move the sight between firearms that use the common M1913 interface.
• Docter footprint fit: Supports the Docter mounting pattern, so it works with the CTS-1400 and other compatible red dot sights that share the same footprint.
• Aluminum construction: The mount adds useful strength without excessive weight, helping preserve handling balance on lightweight carbines and shotguns.
• Riser-style versatility: Gives the sight a secure rail interface while maintaining a simple, durable mounting solution with few parts to manage in the field.

About the Crimson Trace Picatinny Risers Series

Crimson Trace Picatinny Risers are a family of aluminum mounts built for CTS-series red dot sights that need a straightforward interface with Picatinny rails. Within the Crimson Trace lineup, this series serves shooters who want to adapt a compact reflex sight to different firearm platforms without changing the sight itself. The range includes models for the CTS-1000, CTS-1250, CTS-1300, and CTS-1400, with height and configuration matched to the intended optic.

The series is defined by a simple mechanical approach: a durable aluminum body, direct rail attachment, and model-specific compatibility rather than a one-size-fits-all design. That matters in practice because sight height has a direct effect on cheek weld, presentation, and how naturally the dot appears when the firearm is shouldered. Some versions are offered as standard Picatinny Mount and Riser models, while the CTS-1400 also has a Picatinny Low Mount and Riser option for users who want the optic to sit lower over the bore. The result is a practical mounting family for hunting optics, defensive carbines, and shotgun setups that rely on a compact red dot sight.

About the Crimson Trace Picatinny Low Mount And Riser, for CTS-1400

The Crimson Trace Picatinny Low Mount And Riser for CTS-1400 is designed for shooters who want to install the CTS-1400 on a Picatinny rail while keeping the optic in a lower position. That lower mounting height is especially useful on shotguns and certain rifle setups where a tall AR-style sight line is unnecessary and can make the gun feel less natural to mount. By keeping the red dot closer to the bore, this mount supports a more compact profile and a more direct sight picture.

The mount is made from aluminium, which gives it the stiffness needed for a secure optic interface without adding much mass to the firearm. At 50.00 g, it contributes little to overall carry weight and helps preserve the handling characteristics of lighter field guns. Its black finish keeps the appearance subdued and consistent with most modern optics and rail-equipped firearms.

Compatibility is a key part of this model. It fits most Picatinny rails and works with the Docter footprint, making it a practical match for the CTS-1400 and other optics that share that mounting standard. In use, that means simpler installation, easier replacement, and less guesswork when pairing the sight with a rail-mounted platform. For shooters building a clean, low-mounted red dot setup, this mount focuses on the essentials: correct fit, low added weight, and a stable interface between optic and firearm.

About Crimson Trace

Crimson Trace was established in 1994 and built its reputation around firearm-mounted aiming and illumination systems. The company is known for laser sight lines such as Lasergrips, Laserguard, and Rail Master, as well as the Lightguard range of firearm-mounted lights. A defining Crimson Trace feature is Instinctive Activation, which uses pressure pads positioned to activate with a normal shooting grip, reflecting the company’s emphasis on practical handling under real use conditions.

In addition to lasers and lights, Crimson Trace also offers riflescopes and rangefinders, giving it a broader presence in sporting and defensive optics. The company operates a facility in Columbia, Missouri, United States. Across these categories, Crimson Trace is associated with purpose-built firearm accessories that prioritize straightforward operation, compatibility with common platforms, and configurations suited to both range use and field carry.
