Optic Mount for S&W M&P C.O.R.E. to ACRO/MPS* Optics

Description

Designed specifically for S&W M&P Classic and M2.0 C.O.R.E. slides, this optic mount provides a rock-solid foundation for your Aimpoint Acro P-1, Acro P-2, Steiner MPS, or Lead & Steel Pandora PB-3. Machined from a single billet of steel right here in Arizona, it’s built to handle the punishing combination of high heat, blowing dust, and suppressor use that defines the desert shooting experience. The black oxide finish resists corrosion and glare, keeping your setup low-profile and functional even under the harshest conditions.

One of the most practical features for a working pistol is the built-in maintenance window. You can remove and reinstall the factory extractor pin without taking off the optic mount. That means less downtime and fewer zero shifts when you need to clean or service your slide between range sessions or classes. No wrestling with plates or losing your point of impact—just quick, reliable access.

This mount is strictly for slides with the factory S&W C.O.R.E. cut pattern. It replaces the standard cover plate and gives you a direct, secure fit with no adapters or shims required. The steel construction adds durability without excessive weight, and the included mounting screws are matched to the threads for proper engagement. For best results, clean the slide surface before installation and torque the screws to 15 in-lb. Over-tightening can cause issues, so stick to that spec.
