This collection contains optic plates for the Glock 17 MOS. The plate goes into the factory optic cut of the slide and takes the red dot on top. Every plate is made for one footprint or a group of footprints, so you choose it by the footprint of your red dot. For the Glock 26 MOS, Glock 19 MOS, Glock 34 MOS and other Glock MOS models, see Optics ready plates for Glock 26 MOS, Optics ready plates for Glock 19 MOS, Optics ready plates for Glock 34 MOS and Optics ready plates for other Glock MOS models.

Red dot without a plate
The Holosun SCS MOS and Vector Optics Frenzy 1x16x21 for Glock MOS fit the optic cut directly, without a plate.
Installation
Remove the cover plate from the optic cut, put the plate in and screw the red dot onto it. Use threadlocker on every screw. No milling and no gunsmith are needed.
