Hi, all.
All of my defensive pistols, and the majority of pistols I own, are Gen 3 Glocks (plus a G43 and G48). And they all wear Trijicon HD XR iron sights. The Sig Romeo X Pro and Compact are the first red dot models that really make me want to try a red dot out. I would like to explore the world of red dots for the first time without having to modify any of my existing Glocks (yet). So I'm thinking an aftermarket slide that's pre-cut for the Leupold DPP footprint (Sig Romeo X Pro) would be a smart move, and then I can use my existing barrel and slide parts from my practice-dedicated G19. I was wondering of you could recommend a quality slide that takes OEM parts I could purchase to try this out, as well as any other recommendations you may have specifically related to proper mounting in the Leupold DPP footprint. I was thinking I'd like to keep my rear iron sight dovetail. and mount the red dot in front of it, but the Romeo X may make that obsolete with the embedded rear sight. Thoughts on that? Note that I have read extensively here several threads on best mounting practices, but if anyone has specific experience that would be welcome. Thank you.
Chris
