it has to come from the factory precut for the red dot that I like.

You mean pre-cut for an adapter plate that, in turn, accepts a red dot you like?

I think it's an absolute shame Glock doesn't offer slides milled to directly accept a Trijicon RMR / SRO and other MRDS's (e.g, Holosun) which share the same footprint.

Yes, adapter plate. That’s plenty good enough.

The vast majority of my shooting is done with red dots and I carry one as well. A G26, 2 Sig 320s and a Ruger Mk IV.

I shoot pistols with iron sights occasionally but just for grins.

 

[A-Train]

Still learning to use them but I do.....

The thread title says dots, but the posts keep referring to RMR. I only have 2 RMR, but another 3 fixed mounted dot sights.

Good point! I meant any dot in the original post, not just a Trijicon RMR. Going by that definition, I also have a Browning Buckmark Countour that sports an Ultradot. With my horrible eyesight, my 50 yard groupings with a dot look like my 15 yard grouping with irons. A red dot makes that much difference for me. Without one, I feel like I am wasting ammo anything past 15 yards

I have two others out on loan, one in the bedside safe and a couple of unmounted MOS slides and loose optics.

I just don’t find them advantageous and they darn sure aren’t going ever going on a carry gun for me.

Interesting...would love to know the reason(s) why they "darn sure" won't ever grace a carry gun in your world, sir.

Oh snap!! This is what I was hoping to see when starting this thread

Very nice. That SRO is sitting pretty proud on that Wilson Combat, but she sure is sexy.

 

[bac1023]

I do, but I don’t use the red dots on them. Don’t like optics

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Currently none. But I'm toying with the idea of getting my 19x milled to rmr it.

 

[Glock&Spiel]

I currently have 6 RMRd pistols (4 Glocks and 2 Sigs). They work so well for me that I’m thinking of converting the remaining 8 Glocks I have. It’s expensive and I’ll probably do it over a period of a couple of years. Who has an extensive red dot pistol collection and do you regret pouring an ungodly amount of money into them?

I don't own any. Pistols are there to be "sidearms" and I find them impossible to carry concealed with appendages.

JagerWerks ... rear iron sight forward.

 

[nikerret]

One Gen4 and one slide sent out for milling. Using a Trijicon RMR. I bought a G19 MOS and loved the dot with my ageing eyes. Then I tried a milled version of the same pistol. While it doesn't look like much difference, it certainly lowers the optic for better performance. The only thing that concerns me is breaking the original finish.

Everyone else’s RMR looks wider than the slide, yours doesn’t. Is it a regular RMR or the new RMRcc?

Because the dot is often difficult to pick up unless you are able to fire from a consistent position everytime. If I have to line up the sights to find the dot then what’s the point.

And because having a chunk of metal protruding from the top of the slide makes the handgun more bulky and uncomfortable to carry.

Just because some folks carry one to Walmart and back on the weekends AIWB doesn’t mean that it’s comfortable to carry concealed all day everyday.

No, the photo shows a regular Type 2 Trijicon RMR on a Glock 19 Gen 4 MOS using the plate for Glocks and a Trijicon very thin sealing plate. As far as I'm concerned that sealing plate should come with the Glock mounting plates. But the one pictured (rear hump & finger bumps removed then stippled by Cold Bore Customs) definitely sits higher than my friend's milled version. That's why i sent my second slide to Jaegerwork's for milling specifically for a Trijicon. Sure glad they are using a quality finish. I've heard of many options used, from leaving the cut bare to black nitrite. It's an excellent place for moisture to gather.

Excellent choice! By the way, it's JagerWerks in case anyone is interested.

ETA: The JagerWerks Glock RMR cut is on sale for $80 + $10 rear iron sight forward. And black nitride is only $20 (I paid $50).

 

[Para-bellum]

All my pistols have holosuns on them. Except for my p07 which will be getting milling for one after Christmas. And my shadow 2 does not have one yet either. I’m trying to decide if I want to go SRO or deltapoint pro....I haven’t seen an SRO in person yet so I’m waiting to be able to use one before making my decision. I believe it’s the future for pistols.

'Zackly. Red dots have their place, but they are a PIA to get outta a pocket lol. It would be nice, but highly impractical on a handgun.
So are lights. I've been wanting a rail light also, but even the smallest of them is still too bulky on the EDC (imho, your mileage may vary).

Pocket carry I can see. The kydex holsters that are made to accommodate the RMRs carry exactly like their non optic counterparts. The draw is the same, carries the same, you can’t tell the optic is there. The only difference is finding the dot on the draw and that’s a matter of practice
