CHPWS

CHPWS's new LEO series Glock GEN 6 plates have tighter tolerance with recoil fences to wedge the optic inside the optic cut.

Explicit compatibility list includes many “Gen6 ORS” models (G17, G19, G20, G21, G22, G23, G26, G34, G35, G40, G41, G45, G47)

(Some of these models extend beyond Glock’s initial launch list; this is C&H’s published compatibility list, not Glock-confirmed model availability in the cited Glock press releases. 

Footprints supported: Multiple plates, including RMR-family, DPP-family, 509T, and others depending on SKU

Materials: Common plates: 6061 aluminum, MIL-SPEC Type III hard anodized (black); 509T plate: mild steel, hard coated (black)

Included hardware: C&H is particularly explicit:

• RMR-family plate includes multiple 6-32 screw lengths (e.g., “6-32 x .365” for some Holosun models and “6-32 x .425” for Trijicon RMR/SRO/RMR HD/RCR, etc.). 
• 509T Gen6 plate includes M4 mounting screws (listed as M4 x 7mm in the included set).

Danger Close Armament Gen6 Enhanced Optic Plate

On their website it  states screws are “not needed”. But the screw for your Glock Slide is the 6-32, so use that.

Also they make plates for RMR, DPP, ACRO, “RMSC Universal (Holosun K).”

Forward Control Designs

FCD intentionally avoided a full‑width support design, which would add 0.07" of height to preserve the Gen 6’s lower optic position.

This plate eliminates that flex and load transfer that puts stress on your screws and keeps your optic zero intact through thousands of rounds.

For that reason, they used STEEL instead of aluminum. 

Maple Leaf Firearms

The one made by Maple Leaf fit snug so zero will be much more repeatable unless the slide you have had issues.

MLF makes Separate stainless plates for RMR/Holosun “C”; K/EPS; and DPP footprint (DPP/EFLX/Defender XL/ST); plus Defender CCW SKU.

JagerWerks 

Jager makes lot of premium parts, and their glock gen 6 RMR plate uses 6/32 screws and is compatible with JagerWerks torx screws; K-series and DPP use M4 and require optic-included screws.

 The ACRO plate requires screws included with the Gen6 optic “footprint cap.”

The also make it fit with Holosun K-series, DPP

In case you want to know about the plate material, it's Type III hard coat anodized; ACRO plate pre-hardened 4140 chromoly steel with black nitride. 

Aged old problems to avoid on Glock slides when mounting optics

screw length because the screws weren’t long enough can get lose after a few hundred rounds. some say around 800 rounds, but it all depend on how you tighten it and how much loctite you used. But make sure they are at least long enough to thread all the way into the slide. 

What you can do are the followings:

• Consider “gap-filling” aftermarket inserts if you see lateral movement or repeated loosening (reducing load transfer to screws is the stated goal of several designs). 
• For open-emitter RMRs, multiple online sources recommend sealing plates due to seams/gaps with polymer inserts.
