This video reviews the KGM Universal Optics Rail for AK pattern rifles, developed for Ukraine to allow mounting of modern optics on existing Cnov pattern firearms. The rail attaches to the gas tube and uses the rear sight block as a locking surface. While initially skeptical, the presenter found the mount surprisingly stable for basic shooting, allowing for field stripping without removal. However, testing revealed that a significant drop onto the optic caused the mount to lose zero, and reinstallation did not fully restore it, indicating a potential durability concern under harsh conditions.
This guide details how to install a red dot optic on a Glock firearm without permanently milling the slide, using the GlockStore Universal Optics Mount. It covers the process of securing the mount in the rear sight dovetail and attaching various optics. The video features Lenny Magill, founder of GlockStore, demonstrating the installation and discussing its advantages and disadvantages, such as the increased bore axis.
The Strike Industries Universal Optics Mount for Glocks offers a non-permanent solution to mount red dot sights on pistols without factory optic cuts. It replaces the rear sight, providing a mounting platform for various micro red dots. While it allows users to experience pistol optics without permanent slide modification, it does eliminate backup iron sights and results in a higher optic profile compared to milled slides.
