Optic ready slides for a G17?

[damndave]

I'm looking at different RMR footprint optic ready slides for a gen 3 g17. Any recommendations and why? There are just so many to choose from. Pics would be great too.

Best option without worrying about parts being out of specs causing ftf or fte have your slide milled by BattleWerxs. They maybe having a BF sale.

Brownells has slides you can buy:

Or any other reputable shop...

It is a "luck of draw" with 3rd-party slides - in terms of specs, fit, reliability and durability.

I got a 34 slide from them, put in Glock parts and KKM barrel. Allowed me to put on a Holosun ACSS rds. Been perfectly reliable and accurate. The edges are a bit sharp and gets old when doing dry fire exercises though. But this way I still have the 17 Glock complete slide, easy to compare between the 2.

If you get it milled make sure the shop coats properly.

If you're looking for aftermarket slides, I've had good luck with MDXarms out of riverside ca.

Real fast shipping too.

There are some slides out there for alarming prices: $600 - 900 range. Some with nice slide cuts and nice slide cerakoting. Maybe I'm missing something special in those slides.

I've had very good luck with Grey Ghost Precision slides and barrels.

Another vote for Brownells slides.

Brownell's slides have a zev-style post that's make them incompatible with certain optics without an adapter plate.

Hate to say it check Ebay. I've had good luck with Glock 20 slides.

i have one on my G19, works great. bought a complete upper for about the cost of milling.
buddy just did it to his as well.

no issues to report

my buddy swears by Suarez....he has several of their slides and loves them.

I bought a zev duty slide. It is nice and subtle compared to a lot of the other ones on the market. Also it has nubs for the rmr to sit in for extra strength.
