ALG officially announces 6-second mount for Glock pistols

**williejc** · 01-12-15, 13:04

I'm reminded of saddle mounts once offered by Redfield and others used to mount scopes on 870 and 1100 shotguns. The two trigger pin holes through the frame accepted the mount's threaded cross pins, which then could be tightened by turning a nut. Too much torque on the nut flexed the receiver and hindered function.
For me this system never worked. I understand that the APL design differs.

I have larger hands it doesn't really effect me the way i use the light

Thank you! I'm thinking that the support hand during two hand shooting looks workable. I'm concerned about one hand manipulation though. Currently I can activate my X300 with my trigger finger pretty easily when shooting with one hand. The photos make it look like it may require a shift in grip to do that with the 6SM.

Any reason, aside from the obvious OAL difference, that this won't drop onto a 19? All the other dimensions on the 17/19 are the same correct?

I imagine a compact frame mount would be the next logical step for a v2, if that's the only modification needed to the design.

Not seeing the point in putting something this big and bulky on the smaller gun?
