So, I have an extra G19 slide collecting dust(I swapped a 19c barrel and slide onto my current HD pistol…Don’t give me $#!+ about compensated guns, I’ve done the research and shot them in low light/retention…they work fine). I also have 2 Polymer80c frames waiting to be completed. I WANT(not need…20/13 vision…just want…) a red dot on a G19. Who would you send your slide to for RMR milling/fitting. I know that there are some distributors selling “ready to go” slides(Glock Store-Lone Wolf). From what I’ve read they are not as tight as a custom fitting, more akin to using the adapter plates on MOS Glocks. Suarez(no matter your opinion of him) sells a complete slide/RMR package or will fit an RMR to your supplied slide(or their slide and take yours as a “core”). ATEi will take your slide in and do any thing you want(slower turn around time), and then there’s the “Atom” slide from Unity Tactical. I really like the “Atom” because the rear sight dovetail is ahead of the RMR, giving you a solid chunk of metal ahead of the optic, but I also like the the AETi serration mods…
I’m stuck. I know my best option is to contact ALL of the possible Smiths/Retailers and try to find just what I want, but I figured I’d come here first to see what everyone’s opinions were of the available options.
If you were going to mount a “No Nonsense/Reliable as possible” red dot on a Glock, who would be your choice to do it?
