BLACK TRIDENT:

The ACRO on the Gen6 GLOCK

The AIMPOINT ACRO, favored in civilian and law enforcement settings, lacked adapter plates for GLOCK Gen6 models. BLACK TRIDENT developed a lightweight, robust adapter plate entirely in-house, leveraging rapid prototyping and thorough performance validation to meet operational needs effectively.

The AIMPOINT ACRO is one of the most popular red dot optics on the civilian market as well as in professional and law enforcement use. When the GLOCK Gen6 series launched, no adapter plates for clamp-style mounting of the Aimpoint ACRO were available.

From idea to mission-ready product – without detours. The development of BLACK TRIDENT Glock Gen6 ACRO adapter plate shows what is possible when engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing are carried out 100% in-house. While we at BLACK TRIDENT consider ourselves an established company, one thing is certain: we maintain a true startup mindset. Fast. Flexible. Fully committed. Building Equipment for Warfighting, not for Showrooms. 

From rapid prototyping via 3D printing to a fully in-house manufactured metal product, only a matter of hours passed. Load simulations using 3D force analysis followed, along with further refinement to achieve a low-profile, lightweight design. Thousands of live-fire rounds to validate performance under real-world conditions? No problem for BLACK TRIDENT.

The ACRO adapter plate is the result of this approach: precise, lightweight, and robust – developed directly from real operational requirements. Get it HERE.
