Moving the Leapers UTG OP3 Micro between pistols

Page last updated . Data compiled September 2026 by the site administrator.

You already own it. Here is what changes from one slide to the next: the plate, the screw thread at each joint, the torque, the tools and any thread trap. 21 kinds of slide, covering 78 pistols, grouped by how the optic mounts and then alphabetically. Nothing is ranked. The Leapers UTG OP3 Micro page has its specs and the per-pair answers.

The screws are not the same on every slideAcross these slides the optic's screws go into 3 different threads (#4-40, 4-40, M3), and the screws from one pistol's box are often wrong for the next. Check the thread for the slide in front of you, and start every screw by hand.

20 of the 21 blocks have a figure marked not on file: no maker publishes it where this site could find it, so the plate maker or a gunsmith is the source. How the data is checked.

Steps and safety: installing a red dot, from the makers' manuals. Mounting an optic is gunsmithing; confirm the pistol is unloaded first. Screw length is never listed here because it depends on the whole stack: each pair's build sheet has a calculator that works from your own caliper readings.
