Talked with ATEi and was quoted for a simple RMR cut with a black anodized finish for the cut - 6 to 10 weeks.

I just got a slide for gen-4 G-19 with an RMR cut from Brownells for about $210
Excellent quality & price and no need to wait.
Simong.
I was in similar situation except I was looking at a M&P. I got a new in box S&W M&P CORE (1.0 not 2.0) complete top end for $350 tax and delivery.
I’ve been waiting very impatiently for the Unity Tactical ATOM slides to come back in stock.
The Agency Syndicate slides are out for gen 3 and 4. They are a bit pricey but they use the modular AOS system.
I've been talking to a few machine shops and a couple of things stood out to me that I had not considered previously. While they make sense after the discussion, the old saying: you don't know what you don't know kind of stood out to me.
One was that Cerakote coatings have a thickness and can complicate tight fitting millings.
The second was that after the milling, I thought that the only place recoated was somehow just the bare metal cut and not the whole slide. So you get a a nice Gen 5 Glock with a new, more durable coating and then they blast all that off there and apply a black nitrite coating. Is that what you really want to do?
I'm basically down to a Zev slide since they make Gen 5 slides. There are two options, an Omen or an Orion. The Omen has window cut, which look like a stop entry point to me but I much prefer the simple milling or an Orion with no windows but not my choice for aesthetics.
For a carry gun which way do you vote: Omen or Orion?
Just need one last push before I place an order.
I welcome pms on a good place to buy a trijicon rmr rm06 type 2 - today. I missed both the Palmetto state and the Primary arms sales which sold out in minutes. (at least that is my perception)
You may want to consider why nobody has said, "Yeah, go for the Zev."
Among other reasons, I personally I think Zev is so cheesy I couldn't carry any of their slides, and both of the Gen 5 slides look like dog shit.
There's plenty of places that will mill your slide. I'd go that route before I bought a Zev. And you don't need to get it recoated/Cerakoted, unless you just want a different color.
And I'm not a fan of windows or any unnecessary holes in the slide. Then everyone says, "What about Beretta?" That's a different design. When crap gets into your Glock slide, it has nowhere to go.

Wright Armory in Mesa, AZ has milled 2 HK VP9’s for me. Turnaround on each was a week including shipping time.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
I would take the Zev Omen, which is a more simple design, if it didn't have those windows. The Orion is over the top for me too. I mostly like the finish and it's gtg out of the box.
Simong, I even think that those Brownells slides are on sale right now.
Lt Dave, maybe, I just need to find a place with better turn around time. I ordered my next G19 yesterday, this one with front serrations from the factory and that look / function is what I am after. The Gen 5 slides are much slicker than my G3s and G4s so I wanted simple,, function front serrations.
The gun and the Trijicon RM06 type 2 were both ordered yesterday. Should be here by Weds. Either want to order a slide today or find a place to ship the gun to, once it arrives. I'm finally moving forward. Thanks for all of the help everyone.
