Thanks for the responses. Another question... I'll have to change the existing sights for taller ones if I need to use them, I assume. Any recommendations on that?
And a mounting kit is recommended also. It relatively inexpensive so I'd probably get that too. Thoughts?
I prefer all black sights and about as low as I can get but be useable. Ameriglo 429s are about right.
On my G17 -my original RMR equipped pistol - the one that I quit counting after 18k rounds through it (in 2015) I just had a line scribed on the rear of the RMR and a gold bead front sight installed. Admittedly, it’s my favorite.
It makes for a clean look to the gun and moves the RMR further away from the ejection port.
Edited to add: I've had to 2 RMRs back to Trijicon that we’re on the G17. One 3 times, one twice. They were early RMRs. Twice it was for losing power in between shots and the other 3 times, the sights lost their ability to hold elevation. With Trijicon’s excellent service, they replaced them both with Type 2s. No problems since!
Edit 2 - Just for comparison, the G17.4 has a LOT more rounds / holster presentations through it than the G19.5MOS in the previous post. Note the difference in the durability of the Gen5 finish compared to the Gen4!
