Acro Footprint Red Dot Sights – Built for Duty, Defense & Performance
If you're looking for a red dot sight that can handle the harshest conditions, Acro footprint optics are a top-tier choice. Originally developed by Aimpoint, the Acro mounting system is made for fully enclosed, closed-emitter red dots — offering unmatched durability for pistols, carbines, and duty weapons.
At Mounts Plus, we carry a curated selection of Acro footprint red dot sights from trusted brands like Aimpoint, Steiner, and Viridian. These optics are purpose-built for law enforcement, concealed carry, and shooters who demand rugged reliability.
🔍 What Makes Acro Footprint Optics Different?
Unlike open emitter red dots, Acro-style optics use a sealed housing that fully protects the LED emitter. This makes them ideal for everyday carry, harsh environments, and high-recoil firearms.
Why shooters choose Acro red dots:
- Sealed and enclosed – Keeps water, dirt, and debris out
- Secure side-mount design – Minimal footprint and ultra-tight lockup
- Built for pistols and long guns – Perfect for Glock MOS, P320, and FN 509
- Military-proven durability – Trusted by professionals worldwide
- Improved lens protection – Recessed glass resists impact and glare

💬 FAQ – Acro Footprint Optics
Q: What is the Acro footprint?
A: The Acro footprint is a mounting standard developed by Aimpoint for its enclosed red dot optics. It uses a side-mounted, two-screw interface for a secure and low-profile fit on compatible slides and adapter plates.
Q: Are Acro optics better than RMR or RMSc?
A: It depends on your use. Acro red dots are fully enclosed, which offers better protection from debris and moisture. They're ideal for duty or rugged applications, whereas open emitters like RMR or RMSc may be lighter but more exposed.
Q: Can I mount an Acro red dot on any Glock MOS?
A: Yes, with the correct adapter plate. Most Glock MOS slides do not ship with an Acro plate, but aftermarket or OEM solutions are available.
Q: Do these optics work for concealed carry?
A: Absolutely. Many Acro-style optics are compact enough for everyday carry and offer fast target acquisition with minimal snag risk due to their rounded and enclosed design.
Q: Is there a difference between Acro P-1 and Acro P-2?
A: Yes. The P-2 offers improved battery life, better electronics, and a slimmer profile than the P-1. It's the current gold standard for duty-ready enclosed emitters.
