Situation:
I would like to mount an Aimpoint ACRO micro red dot sight (MRDS) on my Gen 3 Glock 26.
I like the idea of having the slide milled specifically for said optic, as opposed to some “adapter plate” solution. I don’t like the idea of one more failure point introduced to the whole system - I don’t like screws and things that want to jiggle loose and need to be monitored by me.
Actually the idea I like the most is buying a slide from Brownells ready to go but they don’t seem to sell one for Glock 26 and Aimpoint ACRO.
I would be willing to sacrifice the dovetail for the rear sight, actually eager, if it somehow made a superior milling or shooting possible. I would not use, or host, iron sights on a Glock 26 equipped with an MRDS.
Questions:
Has anybody here equipped a Glock 26 with an Aimpoint ACRO?
Has anybody used a gunsmith (ideally in New Hampshire) for this same project - with an experience and finished product great enough to recommend them for my project?
Has anybody found a company that sells a Glock 26 slide ready-to-go for that Aimpoint ACRO mounting footprint? (I’ve seen them for Glocks 19 and 17 but never for 26 — my query here is specifically for the 26).
Thanks in advance for sharing wisdom and experience.
