What is the current groupthink for best slide length for a Glock with a red dot? In going through various threads over the past 5 years, it seemed like initially the impression was that the G45 felt the best, but objective performance was best with a G34. However, lately it seems like the G45 is preferred.
I’m trying to decide on my next purchase. Concealment isn’t an issue, as the gun will wear an ACRO and X300 and live in my nightstand safe, but will also be regularly be carried in a Safariland ALS holster, so draw speed is a factor. Locally, a G17, G19, G34, and G45 are all available. My primary CCW gun is a G19 with an ACRO, but it’s a recent transition and so far it’s the only red dot gun I’ve shot
For those of you with red dot experience, have you found one slide length that outperforms the others? Or is it a personal preference thing where if you ask 5 people you’ll get 6 answers?
