Cutting a 5906 slide for red dot mount

[bulletslap]

Assuming I can find a spare 5906 slide at a decent price, has anyone had one cut for a red dot sight mount ?

My old 5906 is very accurate, however my vision is not what it once was.

I have seen a few Glock slides cut for mounts and it piqued my curiosity.

I have a G19 and purchased a separate slide with a cut for an optic... I've talked extensively about doing this to any possible 3rd gen variant, with BMCM and a dove tail mount is the only reliable option... I'm sure somebody will be along shortly to elaborate..

BME Mounts makes custome scope and red dot dovetail mounts for S&W's, but they don't show one for the 5906. Perhaps they would make one?

I put a Trijicon RMR on a Glock 23c I bought at an auction and love it. I was having difficulties with cataracts and it really helped. Once I had surgery and have clear eyesight in my right eye, it's even better. I have owned a 6906 for a long time and ever since I put the RMR on the G23, I have wondered if there was enough unobstructed metal on the 6906 slide to mill it for an RMR. I did a lot of searching, and haven't found anyone advertising doing that operation. I assumed that if it was possible, someone would have it listed as an operation they would do.

The alternative would be a laser, but I've not found one that is frame-mounted other than one the clamps onto the trigger guard that I don't want to deal with. The 3rd gens have been out of vogue long enough that I guess most of the laser folks have ignored them. I even thought about trying to drill and tap holes in the dust cover of the 6906 and screwing on a rail so I could mount a laser. But every time I think about it for a while, I decide to leave it alone.

Thanks KAC !

That might be a very cost effective solution.
