Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of GlockStore's GS C and K adapter plates over factory Glock MOS plates?

GlockStore's GS C and K plates are designed to be thinner than factory plates, allowing optics to sit lower for improved pointability. They also offer a more precise fit, filling gaps around the optic for a cleaner, more integrated appearance.

Why is thread locker essential when mounting a red dot sight on a Glock MOS?

Firearms experience significant vibration during firing. Thread locker prevents the small screws used for mounting adapter plates and optics from loosening over time, which is crucial for maintaining zero and ensuring reliable performance.

What is the difference between Holosun's C and K footprint optics for Glock MOS pistols?

Holosun C footprint optics, like the 507C, are generally larger. K footprint optics, such as the 507K, are smaller and often preferred for concealed carry. GlockStore offers specific plates (GS C and GS K) to accommodate each footprint precisely.

Can I mount any red dot sight on a Glock MOS pistol?

No, you need the correct adapter plate for your optic's footprint. Glock MOS pistols come with factory plates, but GlockStore offers specialized GS K and GS C plates for specific Holosun and Trijicon RMR footprints, ensuring a better fit.
