I just made this choice and I went with the nitride. Who are you having mill the sight? I went with Battlewerx.

A Lizard Green slide, paired with holster and belt from just the right critter . . .

. . . would certainly show you had a certain level of class.
Would matching boots be over the top . . .
My total for the milling work, the finish, some suppressor height sights and return shipping was ~$250.
I am pretty excited about trying out this RDS stuff.
I'm sending a G45 slide to be milled next week (waiting on the optic), I'll be going with nitrite. I think it's the more durable option.
Isn't the exposed metal stainless?
How much is going to even be visible?

So I'll most likely get it cerakoted, graphite black.
I'm hoping the surface of the ceramic coating will be slightly less slickery than the nitride, as a side benefit. I think the black slide coatings on Glocks is great, but not as rough as the silver PVD (?) finish I've felt on the earlier Glock 43X/48 slides. Being as how the 48 is so skinny, it's harder for me to get a purchase on it now, since it is so slick. Plus I don't really want to wait another 8 weeks (this is my carry gun) for the nitride, just to cover the milled opening which is covered by the optic anyway. I'm not too worried about cosmetics, my Glocks are just tools; I mean, I take care of them, but they are just tools and I expect tools to have wear marks.
Thanks for all the inputs; it's been a pretty interesting discussion.
