I wonder if I can get this milled for a RMR? 🤔
I’m seriously thinking about buying one of these Umarex licensed CO2 guns and seeing if I can get the slide milled for a Chinese knock off RMR. I wanted to do it before with one of the blowback airsoft guns but the consensus was that the slide wouldn’t cycle due to the extra weight of the optic. That shouldn’t be a issue with the fixed slide model. If I can make it happen, it should be a cool backyard trainer. Attached File |

The slide is very thin due to the internals. The back plate is actually a spacer for the piston inside that fires and allows the slide to recoil. I would assume fixed slide models are the same, just without the backpressure. My Umarex Glock has a Pro Arms RDS mount, which uses the screw through the backplate spacer from the underside of the slide. It replaces the rear sight like a typical dovetail, but it is held in place by that screw. Idk what "consensus" you found, but those people don't know what they are talking about. It cycles fine.

View Quote Yes, that's the plate. It required some fitting for my optic. The optic I have is some no-name RMR-ish clone I found on Amazon. It shipped straight from commie-land and has like four brightness settings. It works for what it is. It would die on a real firearm. |

So who’s running a RMRcc? Thinking about sending one of my G17 slides off for an RMR but leaning toward a RMRcc since it’s smaller.

Okay, time to get a Gen 3 Glock 19 milled for a Holosun.
Is the refinish from the smith necessary? I've had pretty good luck doing cold blue from permablue. If I buy the refinish, the price puts me in the same league with buying a pre-cut slide from AIM. |

moving parts was my plan if I went with a new slide. I actually prefer the stock Glock serrations and so forth, and I know that the existing slide has mated properly with the other parts.
I will get the original slide cut and then try the home reblue. if it shows a problem, I can always refinish with Brownells offerings or send it out later |

Anyone used Jagerwerks?
USPS says my side was delivered, but I figured they would send you something confirming they received it as well. I know the lead time is like 12 weeks, so I'm not worried about the time it takes to get back so long as they have it in hand |

They aren’t black oxide finished, but they’ll have to do for now. I have the optic directly mounted to the slide. My range trip last week things didn’t go too bad. I only shout around 200 rounds, but the optic stayed out. I’m hitting the range tomorrow. I’ll see how things hold up. I’m thinking the G48MOS isn’t going to be replacing my G19 any time soon. I have to admit, I’ve never had this much of a problem with any other gun / optic combo. |

I had two G48s done recently, one by Jagerwerks, the other by Battlewerx. I’m very happy with both. The Battlewerx optic cut is a little deeper and it co-witnesses with standard height sights, the Jagerwerks one has their sights installed and it co-witnesses also, though those sights appear slightly taller.

I’m a couple thousand rounds into a 19X/RMR and I’m getting pretty good with the presentation, but if I don’t dry-fire religiously, I get rusty quick.
I’m still not convinced that it adds any utility to a carry gun for me. It’s honestly becoming a pain in the ass. For reference, I’ve been Aimpoint or die on carbines 2007 and don’t even have a set of buis anymore. |

When I get off the 19X and go back to a 17 it feels like it’s running in slow motion. More controllable and tracks better for me. |

Any suggestions for a gunsmith shop to machine a springfield champion for a holosun? Been looking at moving to an optics ready striker fired gun for my carry but I really do like and prefer my 1911 style stuff. Probably could find a local Smith to do the work but suspect it’d be better done by someone that does a ton of them.

If you want a direct mill, you'll have to use a Holosun 507k or RMR cc or whatever it is. If they direct mill it, make sure they mill it on an angle, otherwise you'll run out of elevation adjustment. It's around 1 or 1.3 degrees, don't quote me on the exact amount, but if they are worth a damn, they'll now. Just ask them to make sure they know haha. Otherwise you'll need a shim. This one was direct mill with a Glock sight in front of the red dot. Eta: the chambers plate is in stock right now: https://www.store.chamberscustom.com/products/chambers-custom-rdms-plate |

Battlewerx did my personal G45 and one of my G48s. I couldn’t be happier. It is close but the Battlewerx cut seems slightly lower than the Jagerwerks cut and will co-witnesses with factory height sights using the 507k. The Jagerwerks cut might co-witness too, but they installed new sights for me on the gray slide gun below and they appear (I haven’t measured) to be slightly taller.
