Frequently Asked Questions

What is the A-Cut system on the Glock 19 Gen 5?

The A-Cut is a proprietary optic cut developed by Aimpoint and Glock. It allows red dot sights, specifically Aimpoint's ACRO series, to be mounted lower on the pistol slide. This integration facilitates co-witnessing with iron sights and enhances stability without needing adapter plates.

What are the advantages of the Glock 19 Gen 5 A-Cut COA combo?

The primary advantage is a factory-integrated, low-profile red dot mounting solution. This allows for co-witnessing with iron sights, potentially faster target acquisition, and improved stability. It also eliminates the need for aftermarket slide milling or adapter plates, offering a ready-to-go package.

Does the A-Cut system allow for other red dot brands on the Glock 19 Gen 5?

Currently, the A-Cut system is designed specifically for Aimpoint optics. This means that unless Aimpoint licenses the A-Cut footprint to other manufacturers, users are generally locked into using Aimpoint red dot sights with this specific cut.

How does the A-Cut optic mount to the Glock slide?

The A-Cut features a unique mounting system. The optic seats into a groove cut directly into the slide, locking at the front. The rear iron sights are then screwed in, acting as a secondary point of contact to secure the optic and prevent it from moving under recoil.
