They serve no purpose at all besides being an empty mag indicator. The bigger the slide stop, the more likely they are to cause malfunctions. There is no utility in them at all.
Can you provide any evidence that tapping the slide stop is any less reliable than pulling the slide back when chambering a round? I have never run into issues with it in any of the four semiauto pistols I have owned.
it's not really a problem on the gen 5 guns since I can just use my thumb but on the 43x it was harder to do because I have to use the knuckle of my index finger to push up on it. Having a bigger knob to press up on is easier. I don't use them to send the slide forward.

my first choice was jagerwerks (they did my 19) but I asked them and got this response: >No- unfortunately the only optic we can machine the Glock 43X with MOS is the Holosun 407k or 507k.
chpws is the one I used.
I can't decide if I want to do it or not because the plate isn't really bothering me. That cut looks real close to the extraction channel but it looks like it's probably fine.
Why the pistol dot craze lately? It’s like the last 6 months the majority of handgun discussion is about optics.
They look gay and make the gun less convenient to carry so I’ll just stick with the the irons.
You guys can use them all you want but just know your gun looks gay.
>Why the pistol dot craze lately?
Mainly because of the one mass shooting where the good guy hit his target at 40 or so meters so PrepHoleeddit is jumping on this bandwagon now, it'll hopefully end relatively soon
Red dots do offer some advantages, but it's contingent upon the shooter putting some serious time into getting used to it. I personally am not sure if they are worth the squeeze for 90%+ of shooters.

Because the slide isn't already cut for an optic, and I don't feel like spending $140 on cutting a slide when I could spend like $500 on a pistol that already has a cut slide and then I have two pistols.
I have a couple of red-dot equipped handguns. The 34 was milled by Battlewerx.
I like them a lot, but after a few years I am not sure if I like them that much more than irons.
My dickskinners are too small for a full-sized gun, polymer or steel.
Money
>streamlight
oof why
i put a full sized polymer handgun on it instead.
i didn't write this.
you simply are not me
This is peak boomer
uhh yeah, i love vintage audio
my speakers are 20k dollar speakers kek
this is beautiful fuck
i do and it's not a good one either
but i do
Micro dots look more blown out and imprecise to my 50-year-old eyes than irons do.
Imagine being 50 years old and posting on PrepHole. It’s just sad
>Imagine being 50 years old and posting on PrepHole
it's based
itll be me soon enough
I'm retired, bored, and have more time than I need. I've posted on PrepHole since I was still young.
Go back
Instead of a dot, try the 8moa circle reticle holosun makes. You're welcome.
My irons never got too fogged up to see. Pistol dots are range toys.
VP9 / Trijicon SRO
gen 5 glock 17 isn't milled yet
Extended slide stops are the dumbest fad ever
>an object you use all the time in the basic operation of a handgun is a fad
I never touch my slide stop
Whenever the slide locks back I just put a new mag then tug the slide and it releases
The slide stop is kinda pointless

I'm left handed; they're objectively useful.
How is that?

try being born normal next time
Did you get that 43x cut for the cc?
yeah I did. I just got it back Tuesday.
What company and how close is the cut to the extractor channel? Most companies won't even do that cut

Damn thank you!

I believe that dude used irons.

T. you circa about 1994.
>pistol red dot craze
>fad
>polymer is shit
yup, it's nu-fudd hours
I have an astygmatism now. Makes red dots pretty stupid looking.
i prefer irons
why would i need one?
I don't need it to make 50 yard shots and its more work than its worth for a backup gun to a rifle or shotgun.
Because polymer is shit compared to steel and aluminum
Because the slide isn't already cut for an optic, and I don't feel like spending $140 on cutting a slide when I could spend like $500 on a pistol that already has a cut slide and then I have two pistols.
I dont like red dots on my pistol
I’m not gay sorry

>full sized polymer
cringe, compact polymer or full size steel
>rds
cringe, just get good with irons
This is where I would mount my ACRO P2 (IF I HAD ONE)
Because quality iron sights are fast and accurate when you gain skill in using them, and they don't add an extra inch to the profile of your gun.
i got it cause it looked cool.
Because I have it on my compact
