What is the draw to the Gen 4?

What is the draw to the Gen 4?

Actually, I bought the 19 gen 4 about 3 or 4 years ago. So when the red dot came out (or I just never learned about them before), I wanted a red dot! I bought one and became aware of the "r.m.r cut out" and that I did not have one. Some people say buy a used 19 gen 4 and get it cut. But there are not many 19's with the cut out. AND I WANT IT ALL to fit! So that's where I am right now.
Thanks everyone!

Welcome to GT.
Having your slide sent out and milled may be your best bet. Lots of solid companies doing it and lots of threads on GT to peruse related to the subject.

Cheers

 

Also all gen3 uppers will fit and function on a gen4 lower - but not the other way around.

So you can easily and cheaply build a RMR cut Gen3 upper that will function just fine with your Gen4 frame and optic. You can buy (rather than piece together build, research, yourself) complete uppers already built for RMR that will work fine on your frame. Many sites sell complete uppers as well as parts for DIY builds. Since you are new, I would suggest just a complete gen3 upper with RMR cut ready to plop-N-play.

OR you can buy a complete Glock 19 style gun with RMR cut for cheap: https://gun.deals/product/glock-19-...k-19-gen-3-style-build-kit-w-rmr-cutout-black-fde-ffl-req-21331-after-code-2024

 

Yepper! I'll be looking at the gen 3's!

 

Sorry! I meant to say, "I needed help finding and purchasing a Glock 19....."

Aftermarket? I recommend ZEV duty slide.

 

'Search' thyself for what you want so badly.
Self reliance is a virtue.

There are practically zero G4's with factory cut. They are very expensive.

Search MK27

 

Like FireMedic said, do some research. What you’re saying really isn’t making a ton of sense, but it sounds like you want to put an optic on your current Gen 4. There’s a lot more that goes into it, so the first step would be finding the red dot you actually want and then decide who you want to mill the slide for you. Keep in mind the process is not typically fast to have done. The other option would be to look into an MOS gun and buy that instead.

 

Thank you eveybody, yah, expensive!

 

I sent my G32.4 slide to Battlewerx for a MOS cut. Just under $200 all in, including refinish slide. They have lots of other options besides MOS (like RMR for example), I just prefer the MOS cut as I prefer the Holosun SCS-MOS optic.

They estimated wait at 6-8 weeks due to refinish. But I have others to shoot until April 😂.

Glockstore.com has some options as well, with 10 day turnaround.

 

I think the g5 fits the 4 so that'll broaden your horizons.

 

OOOOOOOHHHHHH YYYYYYAAAAAA! That is great news that I hadn't heard of!!
Thanks!

 

Looks like Primary Machine has the UCC V3 and ORS in stock in 19.4. They are very high quality in my experience.

Just as a matter of note, aftermarket support for gen3 is much better. I wouldn't necessarily let that govern, but it can be a big factor, depending on what you want to do.

 

Brownells has a nice Gen 4 RMR slide that didn't break the bank and went together well. I just posted some info on this if you are interested.
