Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different optic cut styles for Glocks?

Glock slides can be milled for several optic cut styles: 'Co-Witness' allows iron sights to be seen as a backup. 'No Co-Witness' removes the rear sight for an unobstructed red dot. 'Combat Cut' moves the rear sight forward of the optic. 'Slimline MOS Retrofit' is for specific slimline models to mount optics directly.

What is the benefit of a co-witness cut on a Glock?

A co-witness cut on a Glock allows you to see your iron sights through the optic's glass. This is highly beneficial for self-defense scenarios, as it provides a reliable backup aiming method if your red dot sight fails or is obscured.

What is GlockStore's optic milling service?

GlockStore offers a fast optic milling service for Glock slides, with a turnaround time of 10 days or less. This service allows for the professional installation of various red dot sights, enhancing shooting speed and accuracy.

Which optic cut is best for competition?

For competitive shooting, the 'No Co-Witness' cut is often preferred. This style removes the rear iron sight entirely, providing a completely clear and unobstructed view of the red dot, which can lead to faster target acquisition.
