Glock GEN6 Images (Page 9 of 9)

OPF-G6, ACRO going to production now. No movement between the sight and plate, no movement between the plate and slide. The way we make ours is unique, we make use of the rear locking tab in front of the rear sight, and ours conforms to the ORS's hourglass shape cutout, both are not easy or fast to machine, but we get a solidly mounted plate that doesn't move unduly since the hourglass shape does a very good job preventing movement along the bore and laterally, and the plate can't rotate. Attached File Attached File It's a nice day in TX, 2000 rounds go fast. Attached File |
Picked up a 45.6 COA. Blue label on these is a steal.  Pretty impressed with the pistol. While the trigger is nothing special, it’s accurate. 10 shots ragged out the X on a B8 at 15 yards. I always tend to throw one a little left with my Gen 3, 4, and 5 guns. That wasn’t a thing with the Gen 6 grip. I like the beaver tail. I always get tank tracks on my strong hand from the earlier guns; high grip and meaty hands. Also noticed my ES and SD were really low with my plinking load. 147gr RMR HMW over 3.0gr of Titegroup loaded at 1.10” saw a 10 shot average of 849.6 FPS with an ES of 26.3 and SD of 8.6. For comparison out of my 19.5 the same load was 841.7 FPS, 52.3 ES, and 13.1 SD. Groups were noticeably better, despite the 45.6 having a stock trigger and the 19.5 having the GPT. |

I'm excited. Hopefully they roll out soon. |

We had first articles for SHOT, but we decided to focus on RMR first. The way we make ours isn't easy, it's the only way to not have force transfer to the screws when dropped, a pretty important part for a small group of users that may not apply to others. We're working on DPP now, the engineering was done in Jan of 2026 as well, just has to wait its turn on the machines. |

And this is why I use your plates and recommend them to every officer we have that runs a pistol and optic combination that you make a plate for. Quite literally its the only pistol optic mounting system that I fully trust and never feel the need to "check", because I've never had anything with your plate shift, move, or lose zero, ever. Can't even say that for my Staccato HD HOST setups, which are generally regarded as pretty good. BTW, please make a plate for those

Thank you! We have the Staccato HD RMR, RMR HD and ACRO plates already designed months ago, they're just waiting for available machining time to be made, we're laser focused on getting Gen 6 RMR, ACRO and DPP plates to the market since we took our time to tweak and perfect these, we're late to the market. It was a conscious choice we made. We had Gen 6 ACRO plate prototypes for SHOT, but still took 4 months to make it tolerant of M4 screw dimension variances and better accommodate the rear locking tab on every Gen 6 ORS that nobody seems to have done, we put 2k rounds down range to confirm neither the optic nor the plate moved and the solution retained zero. We didn't rush anything to the market despite persistent demands, it is precisely because of these demands from duty users we had to get these right the first time. The tardiness to market hurt our Gen 6 plates market share, but there was no choice for us, we couldn't (and didn't) rush the development and testing of these plates. Aaron's tests are similar to ours (we realized it after the video was released on Patreon in late May), we put 2500rds down range and dropped the test guns more than a dozen times. Both our and Aaron's testing far exceed the normal use envelope and pace even a SWAT operator would find exhausting, but that's the point of these tests, our plates aren't designed just to accommodate recreational or occasional shooters, which they will but they're meant to satisfy far grueling demands. |

As a non Glock guy, the Gen 6 is almost their so called perfection. The texture is almost perfect. The palm swells actually make the Glock not feel like a block of shit. To me, the trigger is slightly better than a Gen 5. I can take or leave the beavertail. About the only thing they could have done, is gotten rid of the stupid hump that makes Glock point different than any other semi auto, but the Kiral Defense back strap fixes that by 98%. What remains to be seen is if the optics mount is better than the MOS system. Reliability probably isn't in question as it's a Glock. Attached File |

The Glock Store does not like the plates (but I am sure they are still selling them). They are milling the slide so you end up with an RXM type mounting system. I knew someone was going to be doing this to get the optic as low as possible. Removable pins installed - Attached File Much lower than the factory set up - Attached File They have a short video up on IG - https://www.instagram.com/p/Dct5SPyI9kr/ I do not like running tall sights so I like how low this gets the optic. |
