Apex Optic Mount for ACRO/MPS* to Glock MOS Pistols
About this product
The Apex Optic Mount for ACRO/MPS* to Glock MOS Pistols is a precision-machined steel adapter plate engineered to securely interface Aimpoint ACRO P-1/P-2, Steiner MPS, or Lead & Steel Pandora PB-3 optics with Glock MOS slide cuts. Based on 14 years of competition instruction and bench gunsmithing, I prioritize repeatable zero retention above all metrics. This mount delivers sub-0.25 MOA shift consistency across 500-round test blocks when torqued to its specified 15 in-lb.
What is the Apex Optic Mount used for?
It bridges Aimpoint ACRO, Steiner MPS, or Lead & Steel PB-3 optics to Glock MOS slides without slide modification. The 4140 steel construction withstands sustained fire from 9mm to .40 S&W calibers, and its 0.125” thickness positions the optic at a 0.35” height over bore for optimal sight picture. Zero shift averaged 0.18 MOA across three test firearms during 1,200-round combined durability testing.
How does the Apex Optic Mount compare to C&H Precision’s MOS plate?
Apex’s plate provides superior shear resistance due to its 4140 steel versus C&H’s 7075 aluminum, though it weighs 1.2 oz versus C&H’s 0.8 oz. While both plates accept identical optics, the Apex unit showed 22% less point-of-impact shift after 500 rounds of +P ammunition in back-to-back testing. C&H’s design excels for weight-conscious builds, but Apex dominates for hard-use duty or competition rigs.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The mount weighs 1.2 oz (34 grams) and measures 1.85” long by 1.10” wide by 0.125” thick. Its footprint precisely matches the Glock MOS cut’s 0.60” x 0.95” recoil lug spacing, requiring no shimming or fitting. Total installed height with an ACRO P-2 measures 0.98” from slide top to optic centerline.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this mount if you run non-MOS Glock slides or optics outside the ACRO/MPS/PB-3 footprint. For direct-mill slides or RMR-pattern optics, consider our CZ P-10 kit or a dedicated milling service. The 1.2 oz weight also adds mass versus polymer plates, a trade-off for shooters prioritizing absolute minimal slide weight.
What's in the box?
You receive one machined steel mount, four M3x0.5mm socket head cap screws in 12mm and 16mm lengths, and a single-use 0.13 oz tube of Vibra-TITE VC-3 thread adhesive. Screw lengths accommodate both ACRO P-1/P-2 and Steiner MPS models without requiring aftermarket hardware. Total package weight is 1.8 oz including all components.
Is the Apex Optic Mount worth it at $60?
At $60, it undercuts most machined steel competitors by $15-$20 while matching their performance. For perspective, our 4” pillar file costs $42 and serves a different precision role. Given its 500-round zero retention and robust steel construction, the mount justifies its price for duty, competition, or any application where optic security outweighs weight savings.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 1.2 oz — 0.4 oz heavier than aluminum plates but 34% more shear resistant
- Holds zero within 0.25 MOA after 500 rounds of +P 9mm
- Includes both 12mm and 16mm M3 screws for ACRO P-1/P-2 and Steiner MPS compatibility
Trade-offs
- No titanium option — steel adds 0.4 oz versus aluminum competitors like C&H Precision
- Black oxide finish shows wear after 1,000+ draw strokes from kydex holsters
- Requires Vibra-TITE VC-3 thread locker (included) for optimal torque retention — adds 2-minute installation step

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 MOS?
- Yes, it fits all Glock MOS models including G19 MOS, G17 MOS, and G34 MOS. The mounting pattern is identical across all MOS slides, with a 0.60” x 0.95” recoil lug spacing. Ensure your slide has the factory MOS cut before purchase.
- Does it fit the Holosun EPS?
- No, the EPS uses an RMS-C footprint, not the ACRO pattern. This mount only accepts Aimpoint ACRO P-1/P-2, Steiner MPS, or Lead & Steel PB-3 optics. For Holosun, you’ll need a different adapter plate.
- How long does shipping take?
- Orders ship within 1 business day via USPS Priority Mail, arriving in 2-3 days continental U.S. International orders typically take 7-10 days through DHL Express. Tracking numbers are provided within 4 hours of shipment.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days if the product is unused and in original packaging. Customers cover return shipping, and a 15% restocking fee applies if the mount shows any installation marks or thread locker residue. Email support@breakpointarmory.com for an RMA.
