@C. Stockwell, it's just gonna be a range toy. I do have several glocks to spare so I bought a couple frames and mated a gen 2 g17 & 19 slide to them so I could hang a light. why I didn't use any of my 3's or 4's already with rails is another post. so I bought 2 new Swenson slides to top the now useless gen 2 frames. wish I bought them pre cut now, unfortunately....yeah, so now just experimenting, no real purpose at this point. play time.
batteries, don't even know what size they use in these mos optics but the red dots on my rifles are lasting years. I expect this to do the same. I'm intrigued with holosun and their solar products. if they make what i'm looking for I would investigate that more unless I started seeing negative reviews.
For range toy purposes, go with a Holosun that uses CR2032 batteries. CR2032s last for years, so you won't have to worry about the battery going dead on the range as long as you change the battery once every year or five.
You can get a factory slide cut for about $150 to a specific red dot. So that's hands down the cheapest AND most effective mounting method for that product.thanks, got some ideas. I've got no experience with this.. when I picked up the slide I wish I got the one cut...but hindsight, you know.
we're gonna need to talk again about the optic. anyone want to jump in and tell me what you all are using?
What was his priceAnd if you want someone "here" who will do a slide cut for an optic. Dave Santurri in North Attleboro does them. He did mine and turn around time was just a couple of days.
