I have been wanting to upgrade my 17 with an RMR and threaded barrel. So placed an order at Brownells.
1. Glock 17 with RMR cut.
2. Slide parts kit.
3. Barrel.
4. Trijicon RMR.

Everything but the RMR went together with no problem. I can set the RMR on the slide, with holes lined up to the studs on the slide, but there is a gap underneath. I am assuming I need an adapter plate. I assumed the slide would fit the rmr as it said it was rmr cut...

You want a standard RMR for your G17.  Your link is for the narrower RMR CC, which has a slightly different footprint than the regular RMR.

Well. I feel stupid...

Just ordered the Adapter. Also, ordered Suppressor height sights to co witness....  Lesson learned.


Thank you all. Will post a pic when everything is together.

If you ordered it from Brownells, where you linked to, they have a 100% guaranteed return policy, so you can return it for a full refund and order the standard RMR.

Good to know. Going to see how it works and may do that... Hopefully I will like it as is...

What adaptor did you order?  I don't think you can adapt a RMRcc to a slide that is cut for a regular RMR.  I think they do make a dovetail mount to put the cc on a non-RMR cut Glock slide.  As mentioned Brownells return policy is very good.

That adaptor is used to mount the RMRcc to a Glock MOS slide.  It won't work on your Brownells slide since it has a regular RMR cut and not an MOS cut.  I know it's all very confusing.
