Red dot on a G27??

No issues

Since FBI published data showing 9/40/45 are all the same in stops and lethality, the .40 is being retired by many agencies.
Cheaper Ammo for the department
Less recoil helps with accuracy (flinch) and department quals
More magazine capacity


Why do people buy a G26/G27 that you hold with only 2 fingers?

A- it’s small.

I’m not sure why one would want a Large Red dot on a small pistol


It’s a low volume item- any red dot on a pistol.

Brownells makes the RMR slide for the high volume glocks.


If you want one on your G27, most shops that mill the slide can do your G27

Glock 35, 40 and 41 MOS versions are .40, 10mm and .45 acp.

9mm is certainly more popular due to its abundance and lower-recoil in comparison the others. Plenty of RDS out there, just be sure to choose one based on reliability and durability and it should hold up fine.

I’ve found the same thing. I’m a longtime fan of 40 S&W and there are no aftermarket RDS slides for the G27 that I could find.

I’ve got a Gen4 G35 MOS and G40 MOS which I love and wanted the same for my G23 and G27. No dice haha!!

I plan on getting my OEM slides RMR cut.

ETA: I’ve had a couple of buddies use these folks with good results. I might give them a try: https://www.ziarmory.com/product/standalone-optic-cut/

Hello, been researching red dots for my G27 and it seems like everyone has them on the 9mm versions. Hardly any slide with the rmr cut for the 40s&w’s.

If you don't want to try a Rock Slide and don't want to get an OEM slide cut, you might try a dovetailed mount plate like a RBU.
