Glock RMR

[Saminator67]

I am looking into having a glock slide machined for a Trijicon RMR. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good gunsmith near central Indiana?

 

[NHT3]

that would be AllenM here on the board.. He's done a couple for me and always outstanding work

Allen M. In Avon? Otherwise I'd personally go with Suarez Intl., as they are the leading force behind RMR'd pistols!

I have had a Glock 21SF milled for an RMR and had front serrations and slide cuts done plus cerekote by ZRTS in Noblesville. Top notch guys and great work.

 

[Saminator67]

I didn't even think about having any other work done to the slide. Now that you mention it though, that's worth looking into as well

You can also look to Havlin's Firearm Finishing if you're wanting to stay local. He's north of Brownsburg in Fayette. Havlin's Firearms Finishing

he's "Squirt239" here on INGO. If you do contact him, do so via his website.

Zr tactical in noblesville did mine and they did a good job

 

[Saminator67]

Awesome, can you still see over it with those low sights, or is it better to have suppressor sights as a backup?

 

[JollyMon]

Suppressor night sights are on the way. You cant see over an rmr with the stock sights

What suppressor sights did you go with? I have a 19 mos that I am looking looking for sights for. I am leaning toward the Trijicon. Can't decide if I want the white outline on the front sight or not.

I've been Researching the RMR Glocks a while now and kinda want to try it out now. Just trying to decide if I'd rather send my slide off for milling or buy an MOS

I would highly recommend a milled slide vs. MOS. The MOS was Glocks "fit everyone" answer to pistol rds'. The RMR sits considerably higher on the MOS than with a milled slide so you're farther overbore than you need to be. My two pence, and YMMV.

One of the reasons I chose the mos is because I don't necessarily want to be married to a specific rds. I am currently leaning toward the vortex viper, but who know what in the future. I do understand that they ride higher, but I figure it just means I will need to train more.

JollyMon,

are you you planning to do any refinishing on the milled area? Or just mount the RMR as is?

 

[JollyMon]

I just mounted the RMR as is. I plan on getting it refinished, but havent done it yet.

Is that the right thing to do... prolly not... but I wasn't too concerned about rusting in the short term.

I had the m&p core for a little with with an rmr on it. I really liked the supressor sights that co witnessed. For someone that has shot iron sights my entire shooting life it is significantly easier to pickup the dot on your draw with it being co witnessed. I ended up selling the m&p because i didnt like the trigger. Loved the sight. It made long shots a breeze. Also glad to see you are going the custom route and not buying the glock m.o.s. Good luck and post pictures after you get it back.

If I can't figure out how to program mine (Vortex Venom cut) I was looking at BattleWerx, good price on machining ($100) plus a Cerakote refinish for another $60...

Really working on programming and machining it myself since I finally found prints, lol.

i would second ATEI, Doug does awesome work. I'm from Michigan and always see his work highly praised on the michigangunowners forum. Awesome Instagram account too.
