Pistol Optics Questions


Recommended Posts

I want to put an optic on my Glock 45, but it’s not cut for one.  Not wanting to buy a whole new slide or gun, so thinking getting the slide cut for this.  I value the expertise and knowledge of folks here.   Questions are:

1.  What optic should I get it cut for?  I have Holsuns on a couple other pistols and like them a lot.   
2.  Is there a reasonably priced, local person (by local i means northern middle Tennessee, or close to Nashville)who y’all recommend? Someone on another board recommended a place in Texas, and they can do it for around 125 plus shipping.  Thanks.

 

the place in Texas does full slide milling as well, which looks Kinda cool, but not sure I’d go that far, probably not.
lol.

Something else you might want to consider is the Leupold DeltaPoint Micro.  It does not require the slide to be milled as it replaces the rear sight.  In addition to being a red dot, it also functions as a rear sight so you do still have a manual backup.

One of the things I really like is that it works with my existing pancake holsters with no modifications.

Follow up,question: once the cut is done, is it necessary to get the cut parts coated?  Seems like they would rust otherwise…

most places I have seen offer coating service for the cut areas or complete slide.  For the cost I would rather just pony up the money and get it coated and not have to worry about it rusting.

I know Royal Range does slide milling, don't know anyone who has had it done there but they do it.  Personally I would go with the RMR/Holosun footprint, seems to offer the most options.

another plus for this footprint is Im already familiar with the Holosun and the way it works.
