Gen 6 Enhanced Optic Plate
Installation Instructions

DCA precision-machined adapter plates for Glock Gen 6 slides. Select your optic footprint below to jump directly to your installation steps.

⚠ Safety First

Ensure your firearm is completely unloaded and cleared before performing any work. Remove the slide from the frame. Remove the barrel and recoil spring assembly. Work on the bare slide only.

Tools Required

  • Tx 10 bit or driver
  • Optic mounting screws (included with your optic or plate)
  • Medium-strength thread locker
  • Torque wrench or driver (recommended)
  • Clean, lint-free cloth

RMR / RMSc Universal / DPP / DPPV

For optics using the RMR, RMSc Universal, DeltaPoint Pro, or DeltaPoint Pro V footprint.

Step 1

Attach Optic to Plate

Our plates are designed for a tight fit and may require you to flex the plate slightly to install the optic onto the plate.

Note

If using an RMR, we recommend using a sealing plate.

For optics using the Aimpoint Acro, Holosun 509T, or Steiner MPS footprint.

Important

Step 1

Attach Plate to Slide

Seat the optic plate into the optic cut on your slide. Align the screw holes in the plate with the threaded holes in the slide.
