WILL NOT FIT RED DOTS
I got bot the 17 and 19 slides and neither will fit any of a half dozen standard size red dots including RMR, Leopold, Vortex, etc. WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A SLIDE THAT WONT FIT STANDARD RED DOTS?????? 2 THUMBS DOWN
Great Idea but so far, bad implementatio
Finish is decent. Issue is with the machining on the safety plunger hole. Had one where the plunger got stuck when first inserted it. Great customer service, they shipped me another slide. Same problem. the upper portion of the hole is too tight. Seems the thickness of the nitride finish is all the difference it needs. I have polished the plunger to a mirror finish and it now inserts, but still binds in the 'fire' position. While taping the bound plunger out, the finish on the edge has already chipped. Waiting on a call back from tech, but I'm 2 for 2 on these not working.
