Which GLOCK MOS plate do I need?

The one that carries your optic’s footprint. Standard-frame MOS slides ship with MOS Plate 02 (Trijicon RMR pattern) in the box, and the 10 mm and .45 slides with MOS Plate 06, its large-frame twin. The other factory plates are sold separately, and aftermarket plates cover the footprints GLOCK doesn’t.

Plate screwsSupplied with the pistol — the MOS plate screws are in the box with the cover plate.

Standard and full-size frames

25.5 mm plates for 9 mm / .40 / .357 Gen4 and Gen5 MOS slides. Most MOS pistols now ship with plate 02 only; the rest are ordered separately.

No plate at all

These mount straight to the MOS pocket, which deletes the plate and the joint most likely to work loose:

No route onto a MOS slide

No plate tracked here bridges these:

GLOCKs this doesn’t cover

GLOCK Gen6 ORSReplaces MOS on Gen6. Polymer spacer plates screw the optic directly into the slide, so the optic sits lower and there is no metal plate to work loose. Early field reports include optics rotating on the polymer without visible witness-mark movement — check zero often and re-torque on a schedule.
The slim GLOCKs — 43X and 48No MOS plates: the slide is cut for the optic directly, and the two slim cuts are tapped for different screws. GLOCK taps the Slimline MOS slide M4 × 0.7. A Holosun K optic will bolt on, but the #6-32 screws in the Holosun box will not thread into it — you need M4. Tapped M3, not the M4 of the earlier Slimline MOS. The two slim GLOCK cuts look alike and take different screws — this is the single most common cross-threading mistake on slim GLOCKs.

Shield RMSc vs Holosun K covers the footprints those slides take.

For your pistol and optic

Pick your GLOCK and your optic for the exact plate, both torque figures and a build sheet.

Something on this page wrong? Say what it should be. Corrections from someone who owns the pistol are why this is worth more than a spec sheet — and nothing here changes without a source, so bring one.
