Hopefully this is the right thread to ask this question. Scenario is an optic install for my Glock 48 non-MOS. I want to get it milled for a Holosun 507k.
I am seeing at least three options on what to do with the rear sight. Here is a set of options from a typical vendor (Battlewerx).
Is there any obvious choice here? This will be for carry.
Based on what little I think I know (not a lot) the 507k optic body can serve as a rudimentary backup rear sight based on its shape. Since milling is a one-way trip, and I won’t (?) need a rear sight, I’m thinking option 3?

I just ordered a Holosun 507C x2 for my first entry into dots. (Green in this case) it will go on a G19.5 Mos
Is there a cliff notes version of the best plate to buy and if I need anything else? Is the CHWPS still the best way to go?
Thanks in advance.
I recommend option 1, since the k series can already have a low co-witness with regular height irons. You wont really lose anything keeping the stock iron on the rear. Just my 2 cents and through process I had on my 43. Even the stock plastic sights worked fine for a low co-witness with a slide milled for my 507k and my 48 mos. Personal preference though as always though maybe you dont need it.
New to MOS, having only done direct mill before, and have a couple questions:
1) Will the FCD RMR/SRO plate work with a 507Cx2? I know the lugs and bolt pattern are the same between Trij and Holosun, but not positive about body shape being compatible for the tightly fitted FCD plate.
2) Sight suggestions for low witness, assuming solid black. GL-429 or…?

Anything I post is my opinion alone as a private citizen.
I have a G5 G17 MOS collecting dust in the safe. I’m thinking it would be a good host for an Acro P-2. However, direct milling for the Acro seems better. Could/should I have the slide direct milled for the Acro? Or wait for aftermarket slides to be available? Any suggestions?

I milled off the rear lugs and shaved the front lugs down to .028”. Buffed it all down and coated the exposed metal with Duracoat. Then I had to cut the Holosun screws. The left side got cut to .400” and the right (extractor side) got cut to .395”. I also coated the exposed tips of the screws. I am really liking the sight picture with stock height sights. Now I’m just waiting on the rear sight Don over at Ameriglo suggested so there is no overhang.
Also still looking for Black Oxide M4x.7x10mm Torx/Torx+ with a .250” head diameter stock screws which seem to be unicorns!
