And I learned from this thread that direct mill results in a better product because there’s no plate involved, that makes a ton of sense. So if I buy an MOS I am compromising on having a gun that’s a little less optimal in exchange for more flexibility to change optics in the future. But since guns keep getting better over time, I’ll probably want to upgrade to a glock gen 6 by the time the next gen red dots come out so getting a gen 5 direct milled and then replacing with a gen 6 that’s direct milled for next gen optic, and eventually a gen 7 glock that’s direct milled for the even nexter gen optic.
That all makes sense and now I understand it. I think the counter point is if I get a Glock gen 5 MOS now, then in a few years if I want a new optic that comes out, it’s a lot easier and cheaper to just buy a new plate, and the new optic, zero it, and be good to go. And finding a direct fit holster is easier.
