UpYoursPal Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Ordered the 6 moa this morning. Can't wait! By chance, are there any plans to make an optic with a wider window, similar to the Romeo3XL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serevince Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Anyone have this slide mounted on a Glock? Slide is cut for a RTS2, any modification required? Thanks Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Vince Yes. If slide is cut for RTS2 and there is not room in front then the FTP Alpha3 will not fit. It’s slightly longer in front. You will need to modify the slide or shave off some of the optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTP_Shooting_Sports Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Just a quick note that to confirm the Alpha 3 is slightly longer than the RTS2 on the front so if you are using an optics ready gun, you may need to machine the front of the slide cut to make extra clearance when using an RTS2 plate. If you choose to shave the Alpha 3 instead, the warranty would be voided so I would not recommend that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hello, what mount are you guys using for the Alpha 3 on an open pistol? Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDIllon Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) On a open gun, it should work with any over slide mount that is drilled for RTS2. They generally don’t have a length problem. JD Edited April 9, 2021 by JDIllon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has a blast shield, you may need to clearance the bottom of the blast shiled as some will make contact with the Alpha 3 which is slightly longer. If the mount will work with the Romeo 3 Max, then it should work with the Alpha 3 even with a blast shield. They all use the same mounting pattern.

Or buy a dovetail plate mount. CZC CZ custom or Cajun gun works or Henning all make them. I have my Alpha3 mounted on a dove tail mount on my Accu Shadow SP01, it works great and you do not have to have you slide milled.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o27 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Im located in Denmark, Europe so milling will be the local gunsmith. Thankfully he happens to one of the top 3 in the country. But probably starts with dovetail, despite milling definately is more appealing also pure aesthetics. A bit torn between the Alpha 2 or 3, concerned that the 3 will look massive compared to the 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
