chp5 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I want to retrofit my old G17 Production pistol for CO and I don’t want to have the slide milled. I’d rather just buy an aftermarket optic ready slide for a dedicated CO upper. I bought the Holosun EPS 6 MOA for this purpose. It’s has the Holosun’s K footprint and includes an RMR-to-K footprint adapter. I bought a Brownells optic ready slide, but it uses the Zev RMR cut posts that do not allow me to use mount the EPS with the adapter. You can read the explanation here if you’re interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HOLOSUN/comments/103fgjk/eps_full_size_wont_mount_to_rmr_cut_zevpost_style/ So the Brownells slide won’t work. What do you guys recommend for an aftermarket RMR optic ready G17 stripped slide? I’m not interested in paying $375 for a striped slide however! Thanks.

Stuey Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 So I have the same slide, but using a different optic on it. When reading the comments, there is someone selling an adapter plate to fix your problem. This seems to be a cheaper fix than buying another slide.

dapribek Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Sounds strange, but eBay has exactly what you’re looking for. There are a ton of 17 slides with the RMR cut. If you have any issue with the slide, just return it for a full refund. I built 2 -26s and 2-17s this winter and only had to return one of the 17 slides I purchased. Hope this helps!

truespode Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I found a good deal on Grey Ghost Precision Blemmed site. Just click on their Treasure Trove and see if they have any you like for your gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find an adapter plate to solve the issues. Because of the height of the Zev post things, any plate would be thick and rise the optic way high.

dapribek Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 No, I don’t know the makers of the slides. If you do 2 searches, one for stripped Glock 17 slides and one for Glock 17 slides, you’ll find quite a few. Be sure to include the generation you’re looking for. Hope this helps.
