OPF-SW, ACRO is only guaranteed to work with Aimpoint ACRO P1 and P2, and Steiner's MPS. We have not tested it with the cheap Chicom sights under different guises from various companies that purportedly use the ACRO footprint. We neither endorse, nor support their use on OPF-SW, ACRO. For defense and duty, we also do not recommend P2 clones/copies.
Due to the countersink length of the 6-32 screws, the plate must be of sufficient thickness to allow the 6-32 screws to sit flush, or below flush. The only way to reduce the installed height of the ACRO is to make the dovetail section of the ACRO plate slower and out of spec, with predictable results (sights moving along the bore either immediately, or after a few hundred rounds, sights flying off the plate), we're unwilling to do that. Factory sights are too low for OPF-SW, ACRO.
Precision machined in 4140 and black nitride coated, OPF-SW, ACRO is the latest collaboration between Tangodown and Forward Controls.
Continuing the tradition of reliable duty grade, precision machined steel optics interface plates in both companies' line up, OPF-SW, ACRO is made for Smith & Wesson M&P CORE 2.0 and M2.0 pistols.
For optics interface plates, things that matter: tolerances, material, and a means to keep the sight immobile, or deny it movement in recoil.
Tight tolerances reduce the plate's movement on the slide, and the sight's movement on the plate, but that alone sometimes isn't enough. For older sights like RMR that have fairly loose tolerances, the fences on our plate are designed to cradle it and hold it immobile. Newer sights like DPP and RMRcc don't need the fences, we still incorporate them whenever possible.
Material matters. For optics interface plates, Tangodown and we only use steel, all of our plates are military/duty grade.
