"milled" means specifically cut for a given platform. If you have a Trijicon AND a RMR milled slide, then a "RMR" slide cut footprint is what you want for the optiic, and will not need a mounting plate.

 

Unfortunately "RMR" is thrown around like a generic description for slide mounted optics, whereas different optic manufacturers use different base foot prints.


Thus the confusions.

 

Yep.....

Do u have a recommendation?

 

Are you asking for a company to mill your existing slide or purchase a new, separate slide with the milling already complete?
If you want someone to do the work, there's: Maple Leaf Firearms (I have a G19 complete and a G26 in progress, both Gen 5), Agency Arms, Jaegerwerks. Those are some of the bigger ones, there are several other shops out there.

If you want a separate, new slide: Zev Technologies, Grey Ghost Precision.
Big Tex Ordnance has Glock OEM slides, but you'd still need to get it milled, if you didn't want to use the MOS plates.

 

I went with ZEV for the slides I put on a 19x and a 17.

 

For an aftermarket slide that is milled, it is hard to beat ZEV or Zaffiri Precision. Most aftermarket slide manufacturers will mill their slides for the Trijicon RMR footprint.

Unfortunately both ZEV and Zaffiri are currently out of stock for Gen 5 G19 slides

 

Suarez Internstional. Either made from scratch to fit the RMR footprint, or milled onto your slide.

Rather than mill an OEM slide or buy aftermarket parts, I bought an entirely different G19-style pistol (Shadow Systems) and have been pretty happy with it. Just a thought.

 

I don't know much about Rockey Brass, but some guys like them... they have a red-dot ready G19 slide for less than $200....
