Milling Slides?

[BigBear]

Hello Folks,
First of all, I have NOT done my research so please excuse my ignorance... I have a G19 I would like to put a red dot on. Apparently I need to "mill" the slide to accept a red dot? From my understanding, that is drilling out an area in front of the rear site. Can someone explain that process AND know of a place around COS that would do it?

You could go that way. Or cheat and use this mount.

Send the slide off to lonewolf is the best option I have or for about 200 you can get a pretty milled slide and sell your factory part for more

If you can find a Glock 19 mos cheap and sell your current one, it might be cheaper than getting custom work done....

IIRC Danger Lee can do this type of job, they are in Elizabeth

I've been exceedingly happy with this slide on my G19.

Well made, great finish, fits on my G19 perfectly, and made it simple to leave my factory slide alone.

You can get a Lone Wolf slide already set up for the RMR for less than $200 as well.

I would (and did) pick up a milled slide instead of milling your OEM serial numbered Glock slide.
That way if you don?t like the RMR setup, you can revert back to its original configuration.
A milled slide can be found pretty cheap up to very expensive depending on how exotic you want to get.

So, using a milled slide, do you get rid of the regular sights?

Thanks for all the suggestions, etc.

I use ameriglo suppressor height sights on my RMR slide.
