I have mostly been carry a G19 with an Acro the last six weeks, and most recently with a TLR-7. Something interesting about the Acro is wing/claw type holsters, that often do better with a light, print more for me with an Acro. The reason being the claw pulls the butt of the pistol in, but that has the effect of pushing the edge of the Acro out, making it protrude. Right now, my favorite AIWB for the 19/Acro/TLR-7 combo is a George from Tony that he originally did for me with the TLR-8.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I can really appreciate the benefits of the closed emitter design, but that thing sure looks big on a G19 (says he who has an SRO on a 19.5). I am committed to the red dot, really like the big window of the SRO, do OK with the smaller Holosun 507, but really wish the technology to "add" the sealed feature to existing sizes/footprints was economically feasible, and available. Right, another "Soon".
Uh-h-h . . . thank you. No.
I will admit the rotator cuff surgery has forced me to become an (almost) entirely left-handed only (i.e., the "very much weakest hand) shooter for the past couple of months. Certainly all for the better, though. Every once in a while, and with a .22, I sneak in a magazine right-handed to make sure the red dot hasn't really shifted, because I was consistently shooting about 2-4 inches to the right at only 10 yards (with the left hand). That's pretty much down the less than an inch, but then there's that nagging near snatch with the left hand, and still the .22. Working on that also. Have a lot of years of not practicing with that hand to overcome.
I'd been carrying a Glock 19 gen 4 with a 1MOA RMR and TLR-7A for about a year and a half. I switched to an ACRO P-1 on September 1st. I was curious how it would conceal compared to the RMR, and while it certainly prints more, I'm willing to deal with that since my clothing style is pretty boring and consistent. I'm currently using a Vedder holster and it conceals pretty well with the Carhartt shirts that have become my preference. It has a small wing but it's not enough to make the ACRO protrude excessively.
So far I'm very happy with the ACRO (I've had the optic since around April 2020 but it was mounted to one of my range guns) and I think it's worth the battery changes and concealment effort.
