RDS on G26/4
Hallo Folks,
My wife recently handled a G19X with a red dot sight and she is impressed to say the least.
Can one put a RDS on a G26/4 without hiccups, or does it require machining?

Re: RDS on G26/4
You can use a Toni Systems plate without issue, but it does raise the RDS up a few millimeters. The only real down side it that you will need a suppressor height front sight if you want some sort of BUIS.
HOWEVER!
There's nothing wrong with machining the slide, lots of people do it and there seems to be no detriment mechanical reliability - IF IT IS DONE PROPERLY BY MRST. It allows a lower RDS mount.

As per Captain Hook, first place would be to get it to MRST and let the guys work their magic
My 26 will be going in as soon as finances allow

Re: RDS on G26/4
Won't a dot have a detrimental effect on such a short slide as the 26 ? I'm just wondering...

This look very promising:

Does anyone know whether or when this will be available in SA?

Re: RDS on G26/4
It would actually have a beneficial effect on short slide guns like the 26 as the short sight radius is no longer applicable (well, unless you keep some backup suppressor height co-witnessing sights on it).
For a RDS I see MOS or milling being the recommended way of installation. I also recall the Holosun 507 or 508 being popular options as well as the Shield RMS (less durable though).

Re: RDS on G26/4
The G26 slide is already lighter than the rest (19,17,34), so a little extra weight will just get it closer to "normal".
I guess the hotter ammo requirement has to do with the recoil spring setup. The shorter and lighter slide should need less impulse to cycle, all other things being equal.
