Glock MOS

Gone are the days of having to send a slide off to get milled. The time it takes to send in the slides to be milled, and varying quality of the milling work and optics ready slides notwithstanding, there was a lack a standard regarding the sight height, it’d be a coincidence if two slides milled by two different shops share the same sight height. The GLOCK MOS concept has changed the industry, but have found the failure point to be the factory MOS adapter plates.  GLOCK ‘s MOS may not sit as low as some, but in our opinion, what MOS offers more than makes up for it, namely a uniform sight height, ease of installation, parts commonality and availability. Standards, commonality, availability of parts are all good things.

OPF-G, RMR (Optics Platform, GLOCK, for RMR) is a GLOCK MOS Adapter Set 01 and Set 02 compatible plate for mounting Trijicon RMR or SRO on GLOCK Gen 4 and Gen 5 slides, G17, G19, G20, G21 G34, G35, G41, G45, G47 (width 25mm/1 inch.) and G40 that uses Set 02.  GLOCK’s OEM MOS plate’s width matches that of the slide, but OPF-G, RMR is already wider to fully support the RMR, thus it is compatible with all MOS equipped GLOCK slides.

OPF-G, RMR’s shape follows its functions, same as all of Forward Control Designs products.  They outlined the following objectives:

1. Sight is to be fully supported in the front and rear by recoil lugs/fences, with minimum movement.
2. Eliminate the need to use an additional sealer plate.
3. Correct length sight to plate, and plate to slide screws.  Screws are to be Torx.
4. Adapter plate is to be machined in steel.

OPF-G, RMR accomplishes all of the goals outlined above.  Machined in 4140 steel, and black nitrided,  OPF-G, RMR’s thickness is unchanged from that of the GLOCK MOS plate, it doesn’t change the sight’s mounted height, nor does it require different iron sights. OPF-RMR is shipped with plate to slide screws (M3-0.5mm x 6mm, same as what GLOCK MOS plates uses), and sight to plate screws (6/32 x 3/8), a VC3 packet.

OPF-G, RMR supports the full width of the RMR and SRO, a sealer plate is not necessary.  Trijicon’s position is that if the user is unsure, use the sealer plate, and the plate is so thin, if it is used it doesn’t make any difference to the thread engagement.  Trijicon’s guide line on whether a sealer plate is required: https://www.trijicon.com/frequently-asked-questions/category/rmr-faqs

OPF-G, RMR is designed to sandwich the sight in its front and rear fence, we make the spacing as close to Trijicon’s dimensions and tolerance as we can.  Though we hold a 0.003 tolerance, Trijicon’s tolerance is 0.005.  In practical terms, this means while some RMRs will move inside the fences by a very small amount, others will need to be forced into the space.

Trjicon RMR and SRO share the same mounting footprint, OPF-G, RMR is also compatible with SRO.

OPF-G, RMR is compatible with G17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 40, 45, 47, 49 and 40.  Both RMR and OPF-G, RMR are wider than G17, G17, G45, G47 and G34, and have a slight overhang on both sides of the slide.  On 1.08″ and 1.12″ wide slides, the overhangs are gone.  The front two corners for the plate don’t match the wider slide’s contours, this is but cosmetics.  For more info, please visit this page: G20, G21, G22 Compatibility

Forward Controls Designs solution is to maintain the optic in a static position relative to the lateral load path by adding fore and aft recoil lugs about the optic.  The front lug resists the dynamic load imparted by the slide inertia during the slide’s rearward travel (ejection cycle) while the rear lug resists the dynamic load imparted by the slide inertia during the slide’s forward travel (feed cycle). Therefore, OPF-G, RMR  maintains the optic in a static position relative to the fasteners and thereby effectively reduces (if not deletes) the dynamic lateral load imparted upon the fasteners at the fastener shear plane.
