Just for reference, the correct way to use a red dot sight is to focus your eyes on the target and move the dot onto the center of the target with both eyes open.

So having seen a bunch of RDS's on pistols in all the SHOT show info I've been reading, I have to ask...
Does the additional weight on the slide add to more felt recoil?
I realize they are really light, but aren't pistol slide weight/springs/caliber all "tuned" to work together? I haven't seen where adding one makes a difference in reliability in most black pistols, but something more finicky like a 1911 could see some issues right?
RDS's are fairly new to me on rifles and I've never even seen one up close on a pistol, so humor me.![]()
Time flies when you throw your watch.
Who are the smiths out there who can mill the slides on a glock/M&P?
I know of Bowie tactical, onesourcetactical, and I believe there was a third person who had an even shorter turn around time.
Thanks!
My two have been done by Bowie but my Brah "Mr. Parker" had his done by hatfields gunsmithing in Virginia in quick time.

I know it was done right because he had a stuck case last Sunday and cleared it using the RMR to rack the side against the control box at the range with all the force needed to clear that case.(didn't even put a mark on the RMR)

I saw this at the Springfield Armory booth at SHOT yesterday:
On a side note, the woman you can see in the pic behind the 1911 was working the booth. SA did not follow the trend of having hot women work the booth.

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

If it is strictly for fun and no lives are at risk, do whatever you want, as it simply does not matter.
