When I get my G17 done, it'll likely be by these guys:

I'm looking for someone to mill a G19 and G17 slide for RMRs. Can anyone suggest somewhere local? I'll send it out if needed. I usually go to Lou at BEC but he's not interested.
Sorry to revive an old thread.
But I'm also looking for a local shop to get my glock 19 milled for an RMR.
Any new spots around ?

Have people here actually used an RMR for a long time? Because everyone I know who has had one and actually used that gun regularly has seen them fail and swears to never buy one again.
You're putting a lot of money into mounting a sight onto a pistol that might be better spent on ammo and a training class.

I am selling my RMR G19 because I am over the novelty of looking cool.
What a waste of money just to look cool.
I'd just buy a bright tshirt that says "I'm cool"..
And maybe a TRUMP hat

Thanks, but I would rather chew tin foil and swallow glass then wear a Trump hat.
When I was single I used to light money on fire with out really thinking about it. The RMR pistol fad has past for me, I do OK with regular old sights and would rather keep the bulk down.
You shoot 300 yrds with iron sights too ?

I'll revive this DOA thread, since I'm exploring this option for a carry gun. There are plenty of guys "on the job" out there running an RMR, and just like pistol mounted lights, red dots on rifles, and even factory ammo occasionally, shit fails. That being said, failure rates on the RMR, especially when the slide cut is made to fit it tightly, are becoming more rare every day. Gone are the days(at least they should be) of the dovetail mounts, and the slide surface mounts that relied solely on 2 little screws to hold the sight against recoil, and the sight sitting higher, thereby increasing the mechanical advantage of momentum. With slide cuts recessed substantially, and profiled to fit the sight (something the new Glock MOS lacks), the sight is subjected to a lot less violent movement, believe it or not. I'm gonna figure out a way to play with this set up, probably on a range/full size pistol for a while, with the ultimate goal being to get one on my G19 for carrying around with me.
Anyway, back to the spirit of the thread, I'll probably be looking for someone to cut a slide for me in the near future. I've heard good things about BG gunworks, has anyone had Brad do one?
You already know this, but for the sake of conversation...
I have decided to keep my RMR G19, because ADD, and will be picking up an LED RMR to replace the barely useful dual illum RMR I currently have. I looked at the MOS G17, but the more I looked at it, the more I realized my TSD (GAY!) slide would mount the RMR at a better, lower position. I took out my dremil for a real shitty job fitting the gen3 frame to my hand, and I love it. I am going to follow in my man Stu's footsteps and put some rubber bands on the grip instead of stippling or skateboard tape. I installed a TSD (GAY!) mag well that, after a shitty job smoothing out some of the edges I didn't like, I dig and I swapped the plain suppressor sights out for a set of 3 dot tritiums. I have an OC Customs trigger and a Vickers mag release sitting on my desk waiting to be installed. The gun is going to be so heinous that it will make the internet cringe, but I like it so the internet can pound sand.
But what I'm saying is that dremeling the frame is possibly better than stippling depending on the depth you went. Either way it's probably fine. I'm just trying to make sure the internet knows you are superior, which is fact.
If you want to stir a glock owner's jimmies, this is the sure fire way to do it. I'm surprised no 1911 trolls are educated enough to know this. Wait- no. I'm not surprised. 1911 owners are <language> dipshits.
Because we like guns that actually shootInsted of puting fancey junk soghts on your plastic tubberware guns why dont you guys buy real guns, like kimber 1911s.
