The Kinetic Development Group Sidelok Aimpoint Acro mount is a tool-free quick detach system purpose-built for Aimpoint Acro red dot sights and other compatible optics. If you run a modern micro red dot—whether an Acro C-1, C-2, P-1, or P-2—the Sidelok eliminates the fumbling with hex keys, levers, or awkward adjustment knobs. A simple push-button engagement gets your optic on and off the rail in seconds, making it ideal for shooters who swap optics between platforms, run multiple gun setups, or need fast optic changes at the range or in the field.

Where the Sidelok really shines is in its repeatability guarantee. The mount maintains zero when remounted in the original position—a critical feature for anyone who relies on their zero holding up after an optic swap. An integrated safety mechanism prevents accidental movement or detachment, so you're not worried about your dot walking off the gun during hard use. At just 0.4 inches of height above the Picatinny rail and under three ounces, the Sidelok adds minimal weight and doesn't obstruct your sight picture or co-witness line.

Built from black anodized aluminum, it's a solid, no-frills mount that plays well with modern AR setups, pistol-caliber carbines, shotguns with rails, and any platform that accepts standard Picatinny hardware. The Sidelok represents a smart middle ground between traditional fixed mounts and lever-operated QD systems—fast to use, genuinely secure, and refined enough for serious shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Sidelok hold zero after I remove and remount my optic?

Yes. The Sidelok is designed to maintain zero and guarantee return to zero when remounted in the same position as your original zero. This makes it reliable for shooters who regularly swap optics between guns or need to remove the sight for cleaning or transport.

What Aimpoint Acro models does this mount fit?

The Sidelok is compatible with Aimpoint Acro C-1, Acro C-2, Acro P-1, and Acro P-2. It is also compatible with Steiner MPS optics. Always verify your specific optic model before ordering.

Does the Sidelok require any tools to install or use?

No. The Sidelok's push-button design eliminates the need for hex keys, levers, or oversized knobs. Mounting and dismounting your optic is entirely tool-free, making it one of the fastest QD systems on the market.

Is the mount low enough for co-witness sights?

Yes. At 0.4 inches above the Picatinny rail, the Sidelok provides absolute co-witness height, allowing you to use backup iron sights underneath if your setup requires them.
