Red dot sight instillation! NO MORE MILLED SLIDES!!!

[@SuperVidtech]

Just installed it on my Glock 27 with the Holosun ...easy install no issues thus far..

[@olliemoto253]

This is what I needed to know. I have a 27 and wanted to hear a review... Which Holosun did you mount?

[@Moresco24]

Easiest way to sight in the red dot ?

[@Empire350z]

Will it work for glock19

[@viciousKev]

​@@Moresco24 start out shining a loght through the barrel at the wall and sight it to the light first

[@adaboy4z]

I installed one on my G19 but hated the non uniform look. I wanted my red dot more forward with room for rear sites. It's a cool little convenient mount.

[@luisperez-cg8dc]

Loved the video very detailed. It’s my 1st time for a red dot on a pistol.

[@godsson778]

Thanks for sharing this video I just added the DPP Titanium glock plate and Holosun 407K green dot to my CCW I'm in love can't wait to take it to the range. Also used a Bore sighter from Amazon to zero my green dot. I saved so much money not having to send my slide off.

[@davida.mourino9749]

thank you for your valuable time and knowledge you offer to us newbies thanks for time

[@davidfrank2824]

I'm glad I came across your video. Since I know the future I know you walked away from this setup because of issues that you were having. Until the other day when I was on Amazon I had no idea this was even an option to get. I was just going to buy a new slide not having my original One touch. I know you might not get this since it was 2 years ago since this video. I will say I enjoyed it and I hit the subscribe button looking forward to watching more from you.

[@jeffofalltrades8489]

@davidfrank2824 I actually dropped this brand and got a similar product with much better specs. Check out my channel. I even did an extreme test on it. The product is Dove Mount. If you watch the videos, I have a discount code as well!!

[@jeremydarkcountrysteckman9496]

I've got the glock 20 in burnt bronze battle worn finish its beautiful and I don't want it milled I'm going to check it out thank you just got a new sub

[@rey11able]

Unbeatable value for the price and performance!

[@JettBlast]

Strike Industries, Scorpion Universal Reflex Mount for GLOCK Version 2 (G-SURF) is what I installed. I put a Gowutar A17 2 MOA Green dot. Very solid mount and includes an ambidextrous charging handle. Placed a suppressor height night site to co-witness with the rear sites built in thto the Green dot site.

[@Themanfuhreal]

how much did that setup cost?

[@PlugNuster]

The problem with these things is the height over bore. For a short sight radius that's a big deal. But it's still pretty cool.

[@oSerpicox]

Great video man really appreciate your instillation and succinctness.

[@TooManyChoices1]

I’d only use one of these that have the rear back up sight built into it. But I’m just building a new upper that comes milled if I want to add an optic. Good excuse to build another gun lol.

[@WyTDeViL86]

Just saved me a few hundred bucks... cheers!

[@stephenmahon6714]

Gonna order one in the morning for my Glock 48 ….. thank you

[@XRinger]

Jeff, when I installed my "DPP Titanium" plate (aluminum version) on my new G3c, I saw the advice about filing down the bottom of the dovetail. Then I pushed the dovetail into the slide a little bit, then looked at a light on the other side of the slide, to see the 'fit' of the dovetail. The bottom of the plate dovetail was over 1 mm away from the floor of slide cut. No need for the file job. So I didn't file the bottom at all (Is the G3c really Glock sight compatible?), but took some of the black coating off the sharp edges of dovetail. When it would go in about 1/3 into the slot, I used a plastic hammer to finish centering it up. It looks great. Did a crude zero with a Laser practice bullet. Will fine tune the POA=POI at the range next week. Since the G3c has the slide sight cut closer to the rear-end of the slide, the Glock DDP over-hangs in the back. Not a lot, just enough to see it's the wrong plate.. :) The one I needed was out-of-stock. I might get a Glock someday when they become legal in Massachusetts. Maybe in a few more years..

[@Thewesmen67]

Come to Texas

[@miroslavm2553]

I was naive too to believe that this would work okay, even though red dot is sitting very high. I had the same plate, I put it on my Glock 19 and just like you I had a Vortex Venom but this configuration just can’t hold zero. Don’t waste your time and money.

[@loquat44-40]

It depends on what possible use the glock or other gun is intended for if this is a adequate method for installation. For casual rolling of tin cans etc., what the creator has shown is good. If it is for self defense from 2 or 4-legged predators co-witness is essential. Gabe Suarez is the one that pioneered this technique for american civilians and police. He is very clear about the importance of backup sights. one for if the optic fails and two it allows one to find the dot quickly. A minor third point is that one wants the optic as low as possible. I just picked up a used oem glock slide milled out for an EPS holosun red dot and optic is mounted low; so low that the factor oem plastic sights allow co-witness. Makes a better profile for CCW. There a downside to optics and that is at night at close distances. Then other means have to be used for alignment of the pistol with the target.

[@russconklin3414]

Jeff, you used Lock Tight "Red", the Blue would be the right choice, Red is forever.

[@Peylix]

He used Blue. Locktite thinks it's funny to use a red bottle for Blue Locktite and a blue bottle for Red Locktite.

[@noncompliant209cali]

I wanted rmr cut but nothing optic ready in Commiefornia so I got a Glock 19 gen 3 and I thought about getting a dovetail mount but instead I got a PSA dagger rmr slide. I think I'll eventually get the OEM slide milled but the dagger slide is good so far. I just didn't like not having backup iron sights with this mount

[@rmblwgn]

You made the right choice. Dovetail mounts are so bad

[@TooManyChoices1]

You made the right choice ! The dagger slides are so cheap and they just work. Just added a HS 507c to mine. Now I need to build a Glock 32. Wish PSA would make a .40 S&W Dagger slide 😩!

[@joshuat5140]

I agree. The dove tails are good for some people. But imo there to high up and just not as good. So I'm getting my 19 slide milled for the holosun scs. You can keep your oem sights if you want to as well. And the scs optic fits so good on the 19 and with the slide milled. Optics fit even better and lower. Since no plate is used.

[@tobylopez445]

very nice and simple video, thank you so much.

[@jeffofalltrades8489]

I'm glad you enjoyed!!

[@MrSoonermadman]

I'm all about saving money where I can but i can't lose my rear sight for a push in plate in my EDC. Electronics do fail and they WILL fail when you need them most, that's why I need to keep my rear sight. If it was for a range toy I would absolutely use it and may grab one for my ol G22 for the range. Thanks for the vid.

[@UstesGreenridge]

How has it held up at the range?

[@jeffofalltrades8489]

Holds great and holds zero nicely!

[@FRANKWOOLF2]

By doing this process you can’t use the regular sites to co-witness with the red dot. That’s why it’s better to have the slide milled

[@chrisvanbeekum2694]

If you have a well-made red dot you won’t need to code witness. Worst case scenario. He just need a suppressor height front sight.

[@richardsanchez7817]

Good work Jeff why only Clock how about sig.sauer or Springfield 357sig Thanks like your work.

[@jeffofalltrades8489]

[@PistolB97]

I thought if you use red lock tight you need to use heat to help remove them lol

[@ronalddavis]

all versions of loctite come in a red tube but the loctite inside can be different. 242 is blue for instance but comes in a red tube. also green loctite cant rememher the number of it but is used to loctite screws already assembled. by wicking action.

[@sum1sw]

Very informative, thank you so much. One question if I may, how did you make sure it is squared with the gun/slide ?

[@56igadget]

Eyeball

[@jeffofalltrades8489]

Thanks for the question! I used a measuring tool (a Caliper) for fine adjustments. I also make bullets and I use it for that application and it came in handy great to make sure it was the same gap/overlap on each side.

[@sum1sw]

@@jeffofalltrades8489 I see, thank you so much. I considerig going the same with my glock 19

[@omarcaban9917]

Nice job looks awesome ! Would that plate work on a cyelee ct2 2moa red dot , also what loctite u used?

[@Moe395]

They have sight install or remove tool for Glock slides. Would it work for the base install? Hammering just don't seem right. Just saying.

[@ronswank3438]

I may be mistaken but isn't RED Loctite HT 400??

[@jeffofalltrades8489]

It is the red bottle but no, it's blue locktite. Red would be WAY overkill for this.

[@greenman7652]

You'll have to check the specs when buying to make sure you're getting the correct one. I do believe it's the same as the 17!

[@davva360]

Accidentally ended up with one of these plates. Long story lol. Haven’t installed it on anything yet. I have a Glock 19 with the MOS slide and so far that is the only pistol optic I have. However I do like it so I may give the plate a try on one of my other Glocks as none of the others have a milled slide.

Hello Jeff , I have a Glock gen 4 model 23 40 cal , my question is how sturdy is this DPP after you shooting several rounds of ammo at the range has anyone had a problem with it coming lose? I’m debating on getting the DPP or having it milled witch I’m not to fond of cutting into the slide thank you.

[@godsson778]

I wouldn't worry about the plate coming loose it is very tight fitting plus once you torque the screw down with the locktite it's almost impossible to get it to move without beating it a lose with a mallet/ hammer.

[@michaelshanahan4965]

Suggestions? Oil slot on your slide before installing. Take apart slide and install dove tail by itself, then put back together.

[@XRinger]

Does oil help Blue Loctite? The dovetail on this type of plate (DPP Titanium) isn't a separate part. The plate and the dovetail are one piece.

[@JohnDoeEagle1]

@@kansasgardener5844 Yep, and if you don't get a pistol from the factory with a milled slide I wouldn't ever send the original off to be milled for a specific red dot. In 20 years they may not even make that model anymore so you have ruined your gun and slide. Using this method everything is universal and can be removed or changed as necessary. I also don't believe in sending off prized favorite guns and knives you have sentimental attachments to for custom work or holsters/sheaths etc etc. The last time I did that I had to chase the guy down for over 5 months to get my very rare limited production Cold Steel Trail Master San Mai III back which he had possession of the entire time while I endlessly waited. He was supposed to make a custom leather chest rig for it and me. Um yeah dude....just give me my knife back already, it is the day that never comes at this point! I finally got him to have his wife meet me to return it in a parking lot. I presumed this was to avoid confrontation and me being furious. NEVER AGAIN!!
