I’m looking into upgrading my Glock 19 and I’ve come across the OEM Glock 19 slides with RMR cuts. I want to hear your thoughts, experiences, and advice on this topic.
Why an RMR Cut?
I’m considering the RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) cut primarily for improving accuracy and speed when aiming. The idea of using an optic has always intrigued me, especially for competitive shooting and personal defense scenarios.
Pros and Cons of OEM vs. Milled
I’ve read that going for an OEM slide means better fitting and reliability, whereas getting my existing slide milled can be more cost-effective. What have you experienced?
OEM Pros:
Manufacturer quality assurance
Perfect fit for optics
Warranty protection
Milled Pros:
Potential cost savings
Customization options
Pricing and Availability
What are some reliable retailers or sources where one can buy the OEM Glock 19 slides with the RMR cut? I’ve seen prices vary greatly depending on the model and retailer, so I’d love to hear your recommendations.
Advice Needed
For those who have already made this jump, do you think it’s worth it to purchase an OEM slide, or would you recommend milling the existing one? Any personal experiences or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
