I’m always on the hunt for new, innovative products that don’t break the bank and that do it better than other offerings on the market. Enter the Pivot Lock Pro offset red dot mount—the debut product from DP Shooting Solutions—and one that’s likely to gain quick traction among competitive shooters, hunters, and tactical professionals alike.
Purpose-Built Adjustability
The Pivot Lock Pro isn’t just another red dot mount. It’s a precision-machined, fully adjustable offset mount designed to let shooters fine-tune the cant angle of their red dot sight relative to their primary optic or setup. Whether you’re running a traditional magnified riflescope, an LPVO, or even a thermal, the Pivot Lock Pro gives you complete control over the red dot’s orientation, allowing you to tuck it in tight or have it hang out wide of your primary optic.
Think about running something like a thermal as a primary optic. The startup time on thermals is anywhere from 10 seconds up to 30 or 40. Having a red dot mounted offset gives instant aiming abilities. Another example would be a traditional riflescope. It can be difficult to find objects that are close on high magnifcation. This allows you to have both a riflescope and a red dot on the same gun for ultimate versatility.
Most offset red dot mounts lock you into a fixed 45-degree angle—great for some, awkward for others. The Pivot Lock Pro’s adjustment system allows for micro or macro angular adjustments, ensuring your dot lands exactly where you want it, regardless of optic size, height, cheek weld, or shooting position.
Adjusting the angle is as easy as removing one hex head screw. Once the screw is removed, the pivot section allows you to pull it apart. Inside, you’ll find two stainless steel pins that can be rotated to fit into any number of holes to adjust for the perfect cant or angle (Just look at the pictures). This is a stong robust system that due to the pins can’t move or change on you later but remains adjustable.
Built Like a Tank, Designed for Precision
The Pivot Lock Pro is Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in Type III hardcoat anodizing. It secures directly to any standard Picatinny rail and has the option of two different plates that accept most red dot optics. Plate 1: Doctor/Noble, C-More RTS, STS, SIG RX Pro, DeltaPoint Pro, Shield RMS/SMS. Plate 2: Trijicon RMR
The design features an integrated recoil lug and robust locking mechanisms to eliminate unwanted movement once set—making this mount suitable for high-recoil platforms as well as duty-grade rifles.
The entire system weighs just 1.6 ounces, making it one of the lightest adjustable offset mounts on the market without sacrificing strength or function.
Why It Matters
The ability to adjust the cant angle of your offset dot may not sound groundbreaking at first—but if you’ve ever struggled with scope clearance, a too-high or too-low offset, or an awkward transition angle, you’ll immediately understand the value. With night vision, thermals, or high rings, standard mounts just don’t always line up the way you want. The Pivot Lock Pro puts that control in your hands.
Whether you’re building out a competition rifle or a do-everything hunting rig, this mount offers a level of adaptability that most red dot mounts simply don’t.
Final Thoughts
The Pivot Lock Pro is more than a red dot mount—it’s a clever solution for customizing your shooting experience. It’s built tough, installs easily, and delivers a new level of versatility to modern rifle setups. With an MSRP of $129.99, it’s priced competitively for a premium component—and if this first product is any indication, DP Shooting Solutions is a company worth keeping an eye on.
