I'm not a big handgun guy but I'm bored with shooting and am looking to try something new. I always liked the looks of a Glock with the custom slides and a RMR installed so I decided to put one together today. I purchased a new gen 4 19 today and the other parts I think I want.
I need help/advice with what sights work correctly and input on anything else I am missing or may need. I have an Octane 9 I may use but I don't see it being practical for use all the time so I'm not sure if suppressor sights are a must or what it will do to the co-witness aspect of the RMR. My parts so far are: ZEV dragonfly slide ZEV threaded dimpled barrel ZEV pro magwell ZEV fulcrum trigger (ultimate kit?) RMR G19 I was planning on taking the remaining parts needed off the factory slide to finish it out unless it's not recommended. The trigger was in stock so I already installed it and used the race disconnecter. I'm not sure it was the correct move or not so any input on that is also appreciated. |

Roland builds are using 19s. Sight radius is also not a huge factor if you primarily plan on using an RDS. Not sure of the OP, but 19 frames fit my hand better. Quoted:

Why a 19 over a 17 if it's getting a reflex sight? Not sure of the OP, but 19 frames fit my hand better. Until I got my 43 I carried a 19 for many years and it's a good "fit" for me. If I decide I don't like the setup it wouldn't hurt my feelings to have another one. The other deciding factor was if I do decide to run it suppressed I figured the shorter OAL would be better. |

Attached File Ameriglo suppressor sight (.315) or zev co-witness sights (.300) work well with the zev slide. Yes all the internals of your slide will work with the zev slide, but mind you, if you don't use zev's saftey plunger and spring, your trigger will still be heavy. The "fulcrum" kit usually includes the safety plunger and spring along with 2 firing pin springs, the "ultimate" kit includes a lightened firing pin. Sounds like you bought just the trigger bar/shoe if you had to install a connector (fulcrum kits come with the trigger, connector, and ejector). Let me know if you need help with anything else. |

Red dots basically negates sight radius. A 19 is a wonderful RMR platform, a 34 or 17l with an RMR is basically a waste of good money. I have 3 Glock 34's running optics and I beg to differ! |

The trigger kit I bought came with firing pin and other parts you mentioned. What I'm not clear on is the connector. The kit came with a solid connector installed that appeared to be just like the stock one and another one in a bag with holes in it marked as a race connector. I removed the solid one and installed the race connector but I'm not sure if I should have. I'm ignorant on what that will change. |

So I'm sure you'd agree that your scenario seems to be a bit unique. For the rest of us with limited funds able to dedicate to that level of redundancy, discerning choices need to be made. |

I've had bad luck with Zev triggers. In my experience they disable the striker block. I'd recommend SSVi or Overwatch Precision over Zev. Also I've heard deus ex machina (which looks just like the overwatch trigger/bar) disables the firing pin block also. |

I've had issues with their trigger system not working in certain frames. Zev's answer is that the frames and built from a mold that may have variations in tolerance, they can/will send you parts to change out that will work with your set up. I have quite a few different pistols so I can swap parts till it works. But not many have 7-8 zev trigger kits laying around. Also I've heard deus ex machina (which looks just like the overwatch trigger/bar) disables the firing pin block also. Quoted:

It wouldn't reset without a NY spring, and even with that reset was weak. It dropped the striker on release, which is how I found out about the striker block being disabled. What should have been a click as the striker hit the block was instead a boom. |

They wanted me to pay to send my gun to them for fitting. No thanks. I'm not paying an FFL to send it via USPS and I'm not paying the stupid rates for FedEx or UPS for their part not working in my gun. To clarify, mine had a lot more problems than just the safety.

Attached File I got everything in but my barrel and sights. The shop I had order the barrel said before he submitted his order someone else bought all the distributor had. It appears to be on backorder through Zev too. Anyone know of a reputable place that may have a stainless, dimpled and threaded 19 barrel in stock? |
