Notes
Direct milling for the ACRO footprint removes the adapter plate, lowering the optic and improving return-to-zero over plate-mounted setups. A 4-inch Compact version is also offered.
Background
The enclosed-emitter ACRO exists because open red dots choke on rain, snow and blood; Walther milling the slide for it directly is a quiet admission that duty optics are no longer an accessory.
