The factory MOS cut moves the rear sight dovetail further to the rear of the slide. If you want to make the MOS cut (WHY??) on a non-mos slide you have to make the cut over the dovetail.

I like the MOS cut because I'm still figuring out what I prefer and what works for me in a pistol mounted red dot sight. The MOS, while far from perfect, gives me plenty of choices.
I started with an Aimpoint H1 4 MOA on a 6 Second Mount, then a Vortex Venom on a EGW dovetail mount, then a 508TX2, then a 509TX2, then a C-More 6 MOA on my .22LR pistol, and then a 5 MOA SRO. The last MRDS I picked up was a 6 MOA EPS. If it wasn't for the MOS system I wouldn't be able to try the different Holosun optics and figure out what works best for me.
Hopefully soon there will be a standardized mount, but until there is I'm happy to be able to swap optics around because of the MOS system.
Just got 3 slides I sent to LTT back - looks great. 4 week turn around.
