Aligning Glock dovetail optic mounts accurately is crucial for optimal shooting performance. Start with a visual inspection of the dovetail cut and optic mount, ensuring there are no defects or obstructions. Clean both parts thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Use appropriate tools, such as a dovetail sight tool or pusher for precise control, a torque wrench for consistent screw tension, and leveling devices like bubble or digital levels to ensure perfect alignment.

Place the optic mount into the dovetail cut and use a non-marring mallet to tap it gently into place, ensuring it's initially centered. Utilize the dovetail sight tool to make fine, incremental adjustments, ensuring the optic mount is perfectly aligned with the slide. Once aligned, secure the optic mount screws with the torque wrench to the recommended torque settings, ensuring a secure and stable fit. This methodical approach ensures that the optic is properly aligned, providing accuracy and reliability.
