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 Here is my Accu Shadow with the Dovetail plate mount!

It protrudes little on each side of the slide. You can check the mount width on CZC website. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoeShooting Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I have to say, I think this dot wins the competition. It literally has everything a competition shooter could want The only thing I'd change is instead of a hex key for the elevations and windage adjustments just a flat head screw so you can adjust it with a piece of brass But I'm going to buy a few more abd just replace all my dots with this one Amazing work. Amazing quality. This is a great example of someone actually taking the time to address shooters needs instead of just pumping out dots at 700$ per to make money Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hello, I installed the Alpha 3 8MOA today. I will sight it in this week and see how it does on my major 9mm pistol. I did have to clearance the Atlas mount so the Alpha 3 would fit. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people compare to some of the other dots on the market, it's easy to see that many brands chose to use much cheaper glass to save costs.

I asked this further upthread, but do you have any plans to make an optic with a wider window like the Romeo3XL? I would buy like five of those.

C-Money Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I searched the thread but can't find out if the only option for MOS mounting is the factory C-More plate. Has anyone mounted the Alpha3 on an MOS Glock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
