Glock Updates to the Slimline MOS Cut: MOS-K

As of late 2025, Glock begun it’s update from the factory RMSc optic footprint to the 2-boss Holosun K footprint. The popularity of the Holosun 407 and 507K optics were no doubt a significant influence on Glock’s decision. From Glock’s website:

How does this effect Night Fision customers? There is no impact on the sight dovetails, but the plate you select will change—if you have an MOSK or MOS-K marked 43, 43x, or 48 and you want to mount an optic with a K footprint, you don’t need a plate! You can skip that step and mount your optic as directed to your pistol. If you have an older model with the 4 recoil bosses of the RMSc footprint, and you want to mount a Holosun K footprint optic, you’ll need a plate.

The standard SLIMLINE MOS cut fits the Shield RMSc footprint and uses M4 screws.

Some SLIMLINE models will instead feature the MOS-K cut. The Slimline MOS-K is modified to accept either Holosun K or RMSc footprints without the need for adapter plates. The optic cover plate screws provided are specifically for the optic cover plate and are not to be used with the optic. Optics should be mounted using the M3 screws provided by optics manufacturers.

You can identify which cut your pistol has by referencing the pictures or by checking the item number sticker on the handle of your pistol case. The standard cut will have “MOS” and the MOS-K cut will include “MOSK” near the end of the item number.”

You can skip that step and mount your optic as directed to your pistol. If you have an older model with the 4 recoil bosses of the RMSc footprint, and you want to mount a Holosun K footprint optic, you’ll need a plate. Because the plate thickness is not substantial, you can select a slightly lower blade height for your Holosun K optic (220-227) than our recommended 260-267 to really tuck your co-witnessing sights as low in your optic window as possible. If it isn’t a Holosun K, stick with our recommended 260-267 for the battery deck of most other optics that share that footprint.
