So I have a 19 I picked up that I want to put a red dot on. I already have a threaded barrel and slide guts with a recoil spring. My options seem to be either cut my slide or buy a slide and have it cut. I do like forward cocking serrations so the lone wolf slide seems like a decent price and includes those.

The benefit I see to the lone wolf is that if for some reason I don't like the setup I can sell it and keep my factory top end. If I do like it I could sell my factory top end to recoup some of the cost. I see top ends listed for 350$, do they actually sell for that??

Any input?

I just bought a brand new oem 19 slide and threaded barrel off the EE for $275 it was first listed are $350 the slide was stripped except for suppressor sights. I kept my original and use it as my edc and the new one is just a range toy.

Buy a rear sight mount and try that first before having a slide milled. $40 versus $150 you may not recoup if you're unsure youll be satisfied.

Nice! Seems like you got a hell of a deal to me. Who did the work?

I ended up with a barrel from a used can I bought think it's a gemtech. Couple other parts here and there. Need to start adding up sights and what not to see how the numbers break down.

I've shot lots of pistols with red dots and this is something I definitely want to try.

I went with Ameriglo non-night sights for my RMR cut G26. They were $40 for the set from LW iirc. For $160 onesource cuts the rmr pocket and installs suppressor height sights .

Thanks! I did it all including the stippling which I just learned.
