Frequently Asked Questions

How do you mount a Holosun 507K on a Glock 43X MOS?

Mounting a Holosun 507K on a Glock 43X MOS requires a modification service. The factory MOS cut has rear posts that interfere with the 507K. GlockStore offers a 'Slimline MOS Retrofit' where they CNC mill these posts and shorten a screw to ensure a flush mount.

What is the GlockStore Slimline MOS Retrofit service?

The Slimline MOS Retrofit is a gunsmithing service offered by GlockStore that modifies your Glock 43X MOS slide. It involves CNC milling the rear posts from the MOS cut and adjusting screw lengths to allow for a lower, more secure mounting of micro red dot sights like the Holosun 507K without adapter plates.

Why is a modification needed to mount a Holosun 507K on a Glock 43X MOS?

The standard Glock 43X MOS slide's factory MOS cut features two rearward posts designed for specific optics. These posts interfere with the mounting surface of the Holosun 507K, preventing it from sitting flush. A milling service removes these posts for proper fitment.

What are the benefits of the Holosun 507K's reticle for self-defense?

The Holosun 507K offers a choice between a 2 MOA dot, a 32 MOA circle, or a combination of both. The circle-dot reticle is particularly advantageous for self-defense scenarios as it allows for faster target acquisition compared to a simple dot alone.
