Arise Manufacturing makes two of the most distinctive optic mounting solutions in the competition shooting market — the Low Rider and the Aegis. Both are precision-machined in Texas using a patent-pending 4-post mounting design that delivers rock-solid stability across all supported pistol platforms. If co-witness height and optic stability matter to you, Arise has engineered a purpose-built solution.
The Arise Low Rider is designed to achieve the lowest possible optic mounting height on your pistol slide — bringing the red dot as close to the bore axis as physically possible for the most natural point of aim and the fastest target acquisition. The 4-post mounting system spans the full length of the optic footprint for a rigid, zero-shift connection between slide and optic. Made in Texas. Available in multiple optic footprint configurations:

The Arise Aegis is a patent-pending complete optic mounting system combining a precision plate with an integrated shroud that wraps around the body of the optic — protecting it from lateral impacts and providing additional structural rigidity under recoil. The shroud and plate are a matched system — the shroud only works with Aegis plates. The shroud cannot be purchased separately unless you already own an Aegis plate (contact Arise support for add-on shroud orders).
Aegis plates are available for:
Every Arise Manufacturing plate is machined in Texas — not imported, not cast. CNC-machined from quality aluminum stock to tight tolerances for consistent fit across all supported platforms.
