Is S&W M&P 2.0 factory optic mount better than Glock MOS?

[Todd.K]

I don’t know anything about the .45 compact models and gens, sorry.

But I’m sure you could glue or weld the back of the grip in place.

The plastic plates are the weak point, but it seems like the plates are always the weak point.

They're polymer?!

Didn't know that. Don't like it.

The Beretta 92X uses steel. A high, thick slab of steel.

They are, and very thin. We can make reliably make 1018 and 4140 plates to 0.10 or so, anything thinner gives us concerns.

More thread engagement, past minimum thread engagement, has diminished or zero return in this application.

I don't think SW slide's optics footprint is superior to Glock's. Both provide means to stop the plate from moving along the bore, rotating and moving laterally. The plates make the difference at this point.

When will we see an FCD M&P plate?

[Duffy]

OPF-SW, ACRO (CORE 2 and M2 only) has been around for couple of months, we're working on RMR plates. We rejected the first prototype, would like to see it lowered and hold the RMR tighter.
