The adapter plate includes a first seat in a top surface of the adaptor plate and a second seat in the top surface of the adaptor plate. The assembly also includes a first iron sight configured to mate with the first seat and a second iron sight configured to mate with the second seat.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An assembly, comprising:
 a firearm slide;   an adaptor plate configured to mate with the firearm slide, wherein the adaptor plate comprises a first recess in a top surface of the adaptor plate and a second recess in the top surface of the adaptor plate;   a first sight configured to mate with the first recess; and   a second sight configured to mate with the second recess.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a reflector sight configured to be attached to the adaptor plate. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptor plate comprises a stud and a first anchor. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the firearm slide comprises:
 a recess configured to receive the adaptor plate;   a catch configured to mate with the first anchor; and   a slot configured to mate with the stud.   
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first sight comprises a second anchor. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the second anchor comprises:
 a first anchor portion extending from a bottom side of the first sight; and   a second anchor portion extending from the first anchor portion.   
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the first anchor portion extends in a lateral direction away from the bottom side of the first sight, and wherein the second anchor portion extends substantially perpendicular to the first anchor portion. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first sight and the second sight are iron sights. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the reflector sight is configured to secure the first sight and the second sight in position when the reflector sight is attached to the adaptor plate. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptor plate further comprises a joint disposed between the first recess and the second recess, the joint configured to receive a reflector sight. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the joint comprises joint sidewalls extending at an angle from the top surface of the adaptor plate to form a male dovetail. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first recess and the second recess are disposed on opposite sides of the adaptor plate. 
     
     
         13 . A firearm system, comprising:
 a firearm slide having a recess formed in a top surface thereof, the recess including a base surface, a first slide wall, a second slide wall opposite the first slide wall, a catch disposed adjacent to the first slide wall, and a slot disposed in the second slide wall; and   an adaptor plate configured to be received within the recess, the adaptor plate comprising:
 a top surface and a bottom surface, 
 a stud extending from a rear side of the adaptor plate and configured to engage the slot, 
 an anchor extending from a front side of the adaptor plate and configured to engage the catch, and 
 a plurality of recesses formed in the top surface and configured to receive sights. 
   
     
     
         14 . The firearm system of  claim 13 , wherein the adaptor plate further comprises a joint disposed on the top surface between the plurality of recesses. 
     
     
         15 . The firearm system of  claim 14 , wherein the joint comprises joint sidewalls extending at an angle from the top surface to form a male dovetail configured to receive a reflector sight. 
     
     
         16 . The firearm system of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of recesses comprises a first recess and a second recess disposed on opposite sides of the adaptor plate. 
     
     
         17 . The firearm system of  claim 13 , further comprising a first sight configured to be received in one of the plurality of recesses, the first sight comprising a leg extending from a bottom side thereof. 
     
     
         18 . The firearm system of  claim 17 , wherein the leg comprises a first portion extending laterally from the bottom side and a second portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first portion. 
     
     
         19 . The firearm system of  claim 13 , wherein the recess further comprises a rib extending between the first slide wall and the second slide wall, and wherein the adaptor plate comprises a rib channel on the bottom surface configured to engage the rib. 
     
     
         20 . The firearm system of  claim 13 , wherein the recess further comprises an ejector projection, and wherein the adaptor plate comprises an ejector notch on the bottom surface configured to engage the ejector projection.
