Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of GlockStore's new optic cut for the Holosun 509T and Aimpoint Acro?

The primary advantage is its design to mount the optic as low as possible on the slide, significantly improving pointability. This contrasts with many standard red dot mounts that position the optic higher.

How does GlockStore's dovetail clamp mounting system improve optic security?

The dovetail-type clamping system utilizes multiple contact surfaces and an Allen screw to secure the optic, offering a more robust and stable attachment compared to traditional two-screw mounting methods.

Why are enclosed red dot sights like the Holosun 509T preferred for concealed carry?

Enclosed sights are less prone to accumulating lint, dust, or debris that could obstruct the emitter and cause the dot to disappear. This reliability is crucial for concealed carry applications.

What issues can arise from using adapter plates on Glock MOS slides for optics like the Holosun 509T?

Stacking adapter plates on a Glock MOS slide often results in the optic sitting too high, which negatively impacts pointability and can make proper sight co-witnessing difficult or impossible.
