anyone selling a glock 19 gen3 slide that's milled for a red dot? something as close to stock looking as possible? prefer complete if possible.

Check the Brownell’s slides. Best value for RDS Gen3 slides out there IMO.

i've looked on there. i think it was actually your suggestion. the only ones they seem to have are with the cocking serrations all the way across the top on the front, and i kinda don't care for that look.........

they also don't have it in stock, and i did set a notice for when they're back in.....

They make one with a window over the barrel - like a Glock 34/35.

I think it looks sharp, and I greatly prefer front serrations on the slide. Especially with the RDS. Make it easier to manipulate the slide without smudging the optic unnecessarily.

I picked up one of the Brownells slides a couple of months back.  I wasnt a fan of the across the top serrations either. I rolled the dice, and got a good deal. 

I don’t have a slide, but if anyone is looking for glock 19 gen 5 complete frame, let me know.  I have one I am willing to sell.

Many better options out there than giving Gabe Suarez your money. 

Google his name = Scumbag.

IMO the Brownell’s slide is the best value out there. 

If you want something “fancier” there are plenty of other options out there. 

wasn't so much looking for fancy. i actually want plain-jane. stock looking 'cept for the optic. i googled again, and that site came up. i did see that brownells seems to have them in stock now....after i saw this site

I have a glock 23 gen 4 slide I would be willing to sell if interested

Go Brownell’s. You won’t be disappointed.

+1 for the Brownells. If you want plain have you tried lone wolf? They have plain looking slides rmr cut for similar pricing.

I also have a gen 4 g19 MOS I would sell

i don't think that'd work on a gen3, would it?

 

 didn't see much on brownells, but i saw these on midwayusa.....any opinions?

thing is that i don't want my stock slide modified. i want to be able to switch back and forth.

I have a Swenson slide - standard though, no optic cut. Slide works fine but was picky with barrels. Takes my OEM G19 and KKM barrels. Won’t take my Arc or SEF barrels.

I like the front serrations and the bull-nose.

So far seems like decent value for the $$. Don’t have a lot of rounds through it, so I can’t speak to longevity, but I built it with a standard Glock OEM upper parts kit and I have had no malfunctions and the ejects brass properly (not into my forehead).

It’s the only non-red dot G19 I have left.

Only downside I see is that it is cut for optics that aren’t my first or even second choice.

Windowed G19 Brownell’s slides are back in stock - $240:

They have Gen 3 and Gen 4 models in stock, in black nitride or FDE PVD.

These are great value - especially as a test platform. The dot sits deep in the slide - you use standard height BUIS, not Suppressor height irons.

For just a bit more than the Swenson slide above, it’s a no brainer.

Brownell’s for the win.

Thanks HE. I just ordered one for me 

getting set to order that puppy now. what kit do i need to complete it? also, what's the channel liner? i didn't see that noted before?

You’ll need a slide parts kit, a channel liner (not all kits include them), and a barrel. 

the barrel i figure i'll just swap between . looking at parts kits now. looks like the brownells kit includes that liner and the tool.

also.....i feel like i should know this....why standard height sights?  and thank you for having patience with my list of what i feel are stupid questions

nother question before i put my order in......

opinions?

https://www.brownells.com/optics-mounting/electronic-sights/reflex-sights/rmr-dual-illumination-sights-prod55663.aspx

 also, what's the differences in the size of the dots? i'm seeing 13 moa, 9 moa and a couple others.

most guns that are milled for RDS require suppressor height sights in order to use them as a backup sighting system through the window of the optic similar to a lower 1/3 cowitness on a carbine.

On a pistol, You want the iron sights to take up as little of the viewing window as possible - referred to as “low-witness”. The Brownell’s slide allows you to achieve the “low-witness” with regular height sights because the RDS is milled lower into body of the slide.you don’t need the taller sights to clear the base of the optic to be visible through the window.

I mean, you could use suppressor sights, but you then would cover half of your viewing window through the red dot with close to an absolute co-witness, removing a lot of the advantage of having a RDS on the pistol in the first place.

If you have a slide milled, or get a different slide, you will likely need Suppressor height sights.

No. That is not an ideal RDS for a pistol for many reasons - reticle is too large, inability to adjust brightness manually, serious issues with reticle washout in variable lighting conditions, it is very expensive for what you are getting.

You want a Trijicon RMR06V2 and Battlewerx sealing plate or a Holosun 407C V2 or 507C V2.

I recommend the 407C V2. Best value, very reliable, side battery tray (so you don’t have to remove optic and lose zero to change battery), appropriately sized dot, and larger window.

thank you again. i like the price on that one better, and i like that i can get a green dot. i've noticed on sights that i seem to be able to see green much easier than red.

 i really do appreciate all the help and advice sir.

Holosun makes a 507C with a green dot. I just got one a couple months ago. It was under $250.
