Frequently Asked Questions

What is GlockStore's slide milling service turnaround time?

GlockStore guarantees a 10-day or less turnaround time for their slide milling service, which prepares Glock pistols to accept red dot optics. This includes the milling process and optic installation.

Why is it important to send the specific optic with my Glock slide for milling?

Sending the specific optic ensures a precise fit because optic footprints can vary significantly between manufacturers and even models, sometimes by up to .060 inches. This prevents issues and guarantees optimal performance.

What are the benefits of deep slide cuts for red dot optics?

Deep slide cuts allow the red dot optic to sit lower on the firearm, closer to the bore's centerline. This improves the pistol's 'pointability' and allows for faster target acquisition, which is crucial for self-defense and rapid shooting scenarios.

What does the Holosun Circle Dot reticle offer?

The Holosun Circle Dot reticle features a 60 MOA outer circle and a 2 MOA inner dot. This combination allows for rapid target acquisition at close range due to the large circle, while the dot provides precision for longer shots.
