Miniature red dots on Glocks

**andy t** · 03-13-10, 14:22

I noticed a few posts about mounting Trijicon's RMR on MP's. I wonder if the same options exist for Glocks? Does someone make a mount that fits into the existing dovetail on the slide or do I need to have the slide machined. Also, did anyone try mounting Aimpoint H/T-1 on a Glock using their mount?
Would the electronic-less RMR be a better choise due to slide movement?

Thanks.

Short answer, YES. There are actually more options for the Glock.

Trijicon is about to come out with mounts for the Glock and M&P. Aimpoint also has them for their Micro's.

I personally like the dual illuminated RMR (as it is virtually bullet proof). As with any of this stuff, there is a negative to everything so.

Here is one of Bowie's Glocks:

I just had one of my 17's milled to accept the RMR (tritium/fiber) sight. I like it a lot.

Quite the new rage in Glocks. There is a lot of threads over on Warrior Talk and Gabe is working on one along with other posters there.

A picture of mine is on WT, same nickname over there.

Grant, those mounts that Trijicon is working on...how low will they be? I'm tempted to wait for them before I have a slide milled.

Thanks,

Anybody what is the down side to these style sights. My eyes are having a hard time picking up the front sight on my 1911 .

Can these style sights be put on a 1911,are they sturdy enough for duty use.

Thank you in advance.

As I noted on another thread, some of the older SWAT guys around here have used mini-RDS on their 1911's and Glocks for the last couple of years without any major problems. SWAT cop and gunsmith David Bowie has mentioned using mini-RDS for LE Tactical, Patrol, and off-duty CCW for 6 years without any issues. Note that for serious use, I believe I would only use one of the mini-red dot sights if it is milled into the slide and has an adequate BU capability (laser, iron sights, ghost ring effect) in the event of a RDS failure.

Below is one of the systems we have been using as a test bed:
