When precision and reliability matter most, the mount that holds your optic can make or break performance. That’s why Kinetic Development Group (KDG) has set a new industry standard with its SideLok™ Red Dot Mounting System—a patented, tool-less solution engineered for speed, repeatability, and uncompromising durability.
For years, shooters, law enforcement, and military professionals have battled the same problems: shifting zero under recoil, cumbersome torque-based installations, and slow optic changes in the field. The SideLok system eliminates those frustrations entirely delivering a true “set it and forget it” experience.
Precision Meets Simplicity
The KDG SideLok™ system is built around auto-locking cam technology that automatically secures the optic mount to any standard rail—no tools, torque wrenches, or thread locker required. A simple push locks the mount firmly in place, while a quick release allows for instant removal and re-attachment without loss of zero.
Key advantages include:
Performance Where It Matters
From law enforcement officers needing mission-specific configurations to competitive shooters where seconds decide the outcome, the SideLok delivers reliable, repeatable performance across all environments. The system’s precision fit and tool-less operation mean shooters can swap optics or configurations on the fly—without worrying about shift or alignment.
“Our mission has always been to create transformative, engineering-driven products that enhance the platforms professionals rely on,” said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing at Kinetic Development Group. “The SideLok system is a perfect example of how innovation can remove barriers between the shooter and their equipment.”
Raising the Standard for Modern Mounts
Traditional red dot mounts depend on exact torque specifications and frequent re-checks—creating unnecessary downtime and uncertainty. SideLok’s automatic pressure-setting design guarantees consistent tension every time, giving shooters confidence that their optic is locked down and mission-ready.
As optics technology continues to advance, Kinetic Development Group remains focused on pushing the boundaries of mounting solutions that match that innovation.
