Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Aimpoint Acro P-2 mounting system unique?

The Aimpoint Acro P-2 features a robust clamping mount system, unlike traditional two-screw mounts. This provides more surface area contact with the slide, resulting in a more secure and stable attachment for the optic.

How does GlockStore's custom slide milling benefit Acro P-2 installation?

GlockStore mills the slide with a specific footprint for the Acro P-2, allowing it to sit lower. This 'combat cut' brings the optic closer to the bore, improving pointability and allowing for a front-mounted rear sight dovetail.

Is there a solution for mounting the Aimpoint Acro P-2 on Glock MOS pistols without milling?

Yes, GlockStore offers an 'A-Plate' designed for Glock MOS slides. This plate allows the Aimpoint Acro P-2 to be mounted directly onto the MOS system without the need for custom slide milling.

What is the typical turnaround time for GlockStore's slide milling service?

GlockStore advertises a turnaround time of 10 days or less for their slide milling services, including cuts for optics like the Aimpoint Acro P-2. They have completed over 18,000 such cuts.

What is the significance of the 3.25 MOA dot on the Aimpoint Acro P-2?

A 3.25 MOA (Minute of Angle) dot on the Acro P-2 means the aiming point covers approximately 3.25 inches at 100 yards. This size is considered effective for self-defense, offering a balance between speed and precision at typical engagement distances.
