    So I ended up with a Trijicon MS04 as part of a purchase of an ACOG and just purchased a GSG-1911 that I was planning to put it on. Ideally I'd love to have the slide milled and install it that way, but (1) Not sure if it's possible on this firearm (anyone?),

    If you have some pictures of your gun that would help, but generally I need to actually have the slide in hand to determine this for sure.
    From the pictures I found here it looks like your MS04 can be mounted on this slide with a different rear sight behind the MS04.
    I can also fabricate a filler plate that will go in place of the sight if you move it to another gun.


    and (2) Not sure I want to spend $175 to put a $300 sight on a $350 pistol.

    If no adapter plate is required to allow the mounting screw holes a place to exist, then I charge $125 for one off jobs like this.


    I'd assume I'd end up having to sell the sight with the pistol once the milling work is done or at least sell it to someone who has same or similar sight to put on it. If I ever end up with a 'real' pistol I want to put it on, I too would then be left with a milled slide I can no longer put an iron site on.

    See above.

    So, with all that said, (A) Am I thinking straight on this?, and (B) Just how awful would the dovetail mount be if my intended use is to kill cans / clays and shoot at targets (not competitive target shooting, just recreational stuff)? What makes them so awful and can anything be done to make them tolerable for plinking and shooting for fun?

    I understand I'm posting in a forum that seems to have far more serious intent, but this is not a duty pistol, so please keep my intended 'fun' use in mind.

    Also, I'm having a hard time trying to find a Trijicon mount for the sight I have. I believe mine to be the micro-sight (seems identical to jpoint?) So, is this the dovetail mount I need?

    That looks like it might be the correct mount based on the pictures I found of this gun. A custom mount can be fabricated for your slide for sure. I've made them for CZ's before. PM or email me for details.

    From a size perspective the RMR is certainly more pistol friendly. And, there are a number of Concealed Carry and now a duty holster available for RMR equipped pistols.

    I don't have any experience the Aimpoint so I can't say how they might differ in actual use.

    Does the RMR style lend itself better to use on a handgun than the T1 style?
    I am curious if there is any difference between the "reflex" style window of the RMR and the "tube" style window of the T1.

    The handgun in question is a TacSol/Ruger MkIII with a receiver mounted rail.
    It is my suppressor host and "test bed" of sorts for certain concepts, like CTC laser grips.
    I would like to try a red dot style sight on it 1) for added fun and 2) to see if the concept has validity for me on a defensive handgun.

    MrMiller,
    The picture you found is basically the model I have except different grips and minus a short tactical rail underneath the barrel. Thanks so much for the reply and I am interested. I will PM you.
