Update for my experience:

I bought a Suarez L-mount to make sure I liked the idea, which I did, so I sent my slide off to Jagerwerks to have my slide cut. I sent it off on Friday of last week and they received it on Monday. I got a shipping notice Wednesday and it delivered today, a day earlier than the estimated Saturday (tomorrow) delivery. I have to say, I'm very impressed with their workmanship and turnaround. I sent my entire slide assembly and the RMR and they installed it and then laser aligned everything, all for $125 shipped back to me. The only thing I wish I had done was purchased one of their sealing plates, as the one I received from Suarez is not compatible with their cut.

Seriously, if you want to get your slide cut, send it to Jagerwerks.

My G19 slide arrived there today. Going with the Breacher cut w/ RMR. Can't wait to get it back.

What's the mounting situation and what holster do you use for the compact?

I have them on both of my carry guns. Typically carry the compact most often.

Both were milled into the slide and have sights placed forward of the RMR. Holster is a T Rex Arms sidecar, which accommodates the full size or the compact.

They're running a Black Friday deal on slide cuts only through Saturday. Add "Turkey80" as a coupon code and the slide cut alone will cost $80 shipped back to you with a one week turnaround. If you want something like a carbon cap or forward dove tail for the rear sight, that expense is added on top of the $80. I just got a package for my 17 with a forward dovetail for $90. That's a screaming deal for top quality work.

Anyone have suggestions for carry holsters? I had to trim a bit off my Raven to get around the RMR and it seems to have lost just a touch of retention. I would prefer it to be tailor-made I think.

I took the RMR of off my FN for a few months to get more practice using irons only. I then put it back on last week and re-evaluated. Close up, it's pretty much a wash, but I do love the dot for long shots.

And which Dueck Defense RBU are you using...? I'm guessing you modded the M&P version? Thanks.

I've had the slide back for a little while now, but finally got the chance to put everything together.
