Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Acro Witness Cut' for Glocks?

The 'Acro Witness Cut' is a specialized slide modification for Glock handguns that allows the Aimpoint ACRO P-2 optic to be mounted significantly lower than standard cuts. This is achieved through a combat cut and milling the slide, enabling co-witnessing with factory height iron sights.

How does the 'Acro Witness Cut' allow for lower optic mounting?

It utilizes a 'combat cut' to reposition the rear sight dovetail forward of the optic's footprint. Additionally, the slide is milled lower, and the post beneath the ACRO P-2 is modified to further reduce its height, allowing it to sit closer to the slide.

Can I co-witness iron sights with an ACRO P-2 mounted using the 'Acro Witness Cut'?

Yes, the primary advantage of the 'Acro Witness Cut' is its ability to achieve co-witnessing with standard factory height iron sights. This is made possible by the extremely low mounting profile achieved through the custom milling process.

Does the 'Acro Witness Cut' work on Glock MOS models?

No, the 'Acro Witness Cut' is designed for non-MOS Glock models. For MOS Glocks, an Acro plate is available, but it will result in a higher optic mount and will not allow for the same level of co-witnessing as the custom cut.
