Like I tell my wife, it's all about the angle
Nice to know they’ll stand up to moderate abuse.
However because your test didn’t involve Georgia red clay, the results leave much to be desired. Re-do, but no need to throw anyone down a well.
Unless they really have it comin’
“Conspiracy theories are just spoiler alerts these days.”
There is no easy way to fall down a well. Really bad things usually happen as a result, so I'm glad to hear the dude wasn't seriously injured.
Great job @karmapolice and thanks for sharing. Always nice to hear a good news story, and I needed some good news about the Acro as well. This embodies all the reasons I waited for and purchased the Acro. Heck, this is flat out why I buy and use Glock, Surefire, and Aimpoint products. Still have my fingers crossed on the battery life stuff.
First- thanks for all the comments, I didn't do anything special but my job. My buddy did most of the initial assessment and job and did a great one at that. Second Fire Rescue and medical personnel did the hard work of getting the injuried party out of the well and to further care. He was luckly not seriously injured.
So today Glock inspected the pistol and everything was as it should be with the gun, no hidden stress fractures etc. The first four days of this week I was at GPSTC (Georgia Public Safety Training Center) taking Semi Auto III.
For those unfamiliar Semi Auto III a close version of Rogers Shooting School that is available to any Georgia peace officer who meets the precourse requirements. It’s all steel and you shoot drills in the morning and after lunch you take the test which consist of 100 plates to be hit in different combinations from the ready, holster, freestyle, strong hand only, and support hand only.
There are three ratings 80-89 Basic, 90-95 Intermediate, and 96-100 Advanced. You compete with all the students and the relay each day after day one is based on your test performance. I maintained booth two relay one all subsequent days and was second to one of the lead instructors and all around great guy and shooter David Knight (USPSA Grand Master, One of five to ever clean Rogers, FAST coin, and more).
I ran the Glock that was run over Gen 5 34 with the ACRO and X300U from a Safariland 6390 RDS holster with the OTD nub mod on a Jones tactical belt with good ole esstac kiwis. Day one I scored a 92, day two a 93, day three a 98, and a 94 on day four (was clean up until one stage I bombed 😆 not completely but it wasn’t pretty), this secured me an Advanced rating.
Also I was the first student to shoot all four days with a Red Dot equip pistol, several failed in the past and or students switched back to an iron sighted gun during the course. One of the other instructors Alex Rozier was also in the class and got Advanced and shot a 95 on the last day with my other 34 with an ACRO. Also one of my fellow Deputies shot a 98 on day three as well and other high scores to get an Advanced rating, I’m super proud of him!

That is some serious Wile E. Coyote stuff right there in the photos. Glad everything turned out alright.
Now I'm curious though - what was your mounting procedure for your MOS plate? I'd actually assume that'd be the weak point in that whole setup.
I utilized the factory Glock MOS screws that comes with the gun for mounting the plate rather than the B&T/Aimpoint ones that came with the ACRO plate. I applied approximate torque spec of 13-15 inch pounds to those screws to mount the plate. I mounted the optic to the plate with an approximate torque value of 26.5 inch pounds and then I shot it a bunch!
I shot on the GPSTC Rogers range, just an awesome resource for Georgia Officers!
