I had mentioned a while back that I was going to wind up setting up a Glock with a red dot. One of my biggest questions was do I get an MOS Glock and use the adapter plates to mount an optic, do I buy a third-party slide already cut for an optic, or do I send off my slide to get cut? Tough choice. No one seemed to have anything nice to say about the Glock MOS system, so that was the end of that. Aftermarket slides that were already cut were a bit north of $300. Heck, the whole damn gun didnt cost me that. Someone recommended Wager Machine and after reading more about them I decided to give them a shot. I had them do an RMR cut to my factory slide, cerokote the whole thing, and install the Trijicon suppressor-height sights I sent them. Total cost, soup to nuts, was $145.
Unfortunately, none of my vendors happen to have a Trijicon RCR in stock for me to fit on there to judge the quality of their machining. But, I can say the cerokote looks great and they seem to have installed he sights properly.
Only real thing left to do here is sight in the open sights, get the optic mounted, and perhaps put in a bit of a better trigger.
I don’t usually put this much….bespokeness….into a pistol, but I’d like to have at least one pistol that gives me just about every possible advantage available short of a giggle switch.
I’m very much looking forward to getting the RCR mounted and seeing how it works out.
Following. Nice color, the o.d. green is the only color that looks good on weaponry in general. You will need to get that engraved as well with your “on the watch lists” logo to match your Commander status. Having a near race gun set up, or an upfitted sidearm with as many spiciness features as reasonable will aid performance and perhaps give you an edge or a save in a spicy encounter. I noted a past news article about 3 city cops in a shoot up with an armed protestor at a federal courthouse, successfully ending the perp. The news article and release from that department cataloged that every cop on scene had a red dot /optic type sighting set up on their guns. (Personal not dept. Issue guns) interesting anecdote they referenced the “tools” they used in an atypical crime story, funny though. If your gun is going to be impounded in a police time out locker because you had to dust off an offender, have a nice and sexy gun that every one can fawn over in the evidence locker, or in exhibit displays in the court room.
Go pro so as to stay frosty.
Looks good to me. I hope it shoots better than you think it will.

The Glock Performance Triggers are supposed to be the new hotness….
James from tfb said he talked much shit about the new performance triggers until he shot the same gun back to back with stock trigger, then performance trigger and now it’s one of 3 things he would ever add to a Glock…2 was a red dot…I didn’t remember the third…
I may have to pick one up for a little T&E.
i see them on sale on botach often…i may get one myself….
