Crap. Just when I thought I was through milling slides for red dots.
We really won't know how to mill until we see how it is mounted.

Curious title for their article:
“Aimpoint drops the ACRO”
Wonder if they read PF?

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
"Drops" as in introduces.
I wonder about their statement "Designed for direct integration onto pistol slides". Are they going to make it easy to attach to pistol slides? All pistol slides? Specific to certain manufacturers? I would love to get something like Vortex puts out so you can mill a slide specifically for the optic.
Couple of more findings:
"Mount: Integrated keyed surface mount"
"Designed for direct integration onto pistol slides"
The AllOutdoor blog posted pics of the Acro mounted to a pistol at the Eurosatory show. Its mounted to a mini Picatinny looking rail.

If the mini rail is designed to go inside the housing. Then it could still mount as low as a rmr. Bolt the rail to the slide and optic mounted to rail. Seems like that would be a very solid and consistent mount. Which would mean the milling would probably not have to have the bosses or a direct mill job off your specific optic. And no sealer plate for pistols.

Any updates re. the mounting system used (proprietary?) & availability?
Any idea where a guy would watch to see when these will actually be available? I am trying to decide whether to wait these out or go RMR.
I don't know much about Aimpoint. Are they another of the companies that announce a product a year before it hits the shelves?
