This collection contains red dot sights with the Aimpoint Acro footprint. The Acro footprint is used by enclosed pistol red dots. The current model is the Steiner MPS with a 3 MOA red dot.
Plates for the Acro footprint exist for many pistols, for example the CZ, Glock MOS, Walther PDP and Sig P320. Footprint adapters convert the Trijicon RMR to the Acro footprint. See Footprint adapters.
Mounting the red dot
On an Optics Ready pistol, you need an optic plate that takes this footprint. See Optics ready plates. On a pistol without optic cut, you need a red dot mount that takes this footprint. See Red dot mounts.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put a Aimpoint Acro red dot on my pistol?
Yes, if there is a plate or mount with the Aimpoint Acro footprint for your model. Pistols with a factory optic cut take an optic plate. Pistols without one take a red dot mount in place of the rear sight. See Optics ready plates and Red dot mounts.
Can I install the red dot myself?
Yes. Screw the red dot onto the plate or mount with the screws that come with it. Put a drop of threadlocker on each screw and tighten it to the torque given by the maker.
Does an Acro red dot fit an RMR plate?
No, not directly. Use an Acro plate or an adapter from RMR to Acro. See Footprint adapters.
