Many of us here I’ve been shooting for a while have Gen 2 or Gen 3 Glock 19s or Glock 23s in the safe.
For about or slightly more than the cost of having one of those old OEM slides cut for an optic PSA is now selling RMR cut slides with lower 1/3 or suppressor height sights for between $159 and $179. These slides include everything except the barrel and recoil spring assembly. They also include a cover plate in case you are not mounting an optic right away.

I ordered one of the $169 models. It arrived today and so far I’m impressed. The machining and finish are well done, there are no sharp edges, and it passes Glock Armorer function checks. I install the dagger slide on my lone Gen 3 G19 as well as a pair of Gen 2 G19s. The slide fit and dry functioned on all three guns.
If this works out it may be an economical way to breathe new life into older guns.
