| ✅ BENEFITS OF THE GLOCK MOS ACRO PLATE |
| Secure Optic Retention |
The plate is precisely machined to accept the square-shaped housing of the Aimpoint ACRO, eliminating any wobble or shift during recoil. |
| Preserves Co-Witness |
Specifically engineered to sit low enough on the slide to allow users to utilize their factory iron sights through the optic window (lower 1/3 co-witness). |
| Drop-In Ready |
No gunsmithing or slide modification required. Simply remove the stock MOS cover plate and install this adapter using basic tools. |
| Durability |
Constructed from high-strength materials to withstand the rigorous forces of a reciprocating slide and high-round count shooting. |

| ⚙️ WHY THE ACRO FOOTPRINT WORKS WITH GLOCK MOS |
| Direct Compatibility |
Glock MOS slides feature multiple cutouts. The ACRO Mount Plate specifically converts the MOS pattern to the square-shaped ACRO footprint, allowing direct attachment. |
| Recoil Lugs |
High-quality plates include integrated recoil lugs that fit into the slide cuts, ensuring the optic and plate bear the stress of recoil, not just the mounting screws. |
Installation Overview
To attach your Aimpoint ACRO using the Glock MOS plate, first ensure your Glock is unloaded. Remove the rear cover plate on the MOS slide. Place the ACRO mounting plate into the recess, apply a proper thread locker (such as Loctite blue) to the provided screws, and torque them to manufacturer specifications. Finally, mount the Aimpoint ACRO optic onto the plate using the screws provided with the optic or plate kit.
