Red dot mounts

Post by Hank629 »

Good day all!
I'm looking into putting a Red dot on my old XD but I don't want to mill my slide. What are your opinions on the mounts that slide in place of the rear sight? Are these any good or should I just pay to have my slide milled?
Thanks in advice! 8)

Cheap way to experiment with it. Presentation is way off compared to iron sights or a milled dot, and is a source of frustration for many.

If it's for a range toy, sure, go for it. Otherwise, I'd pass.

You can't truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

If I were gonna do that, I'd go with an EGW. Everything I've used from them seems to be quality.

Have you thought about looking for a replacement slide such as this:
