Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of the Glock 19 Gen 4 for concealed carry?

The Glock 19 Gen 4 is favored for concealed carry due to its compelling combination of good capacity, a full grip for control, lightweight construction, and ease of concealment, making it a popular choice for personal defense.

How does a Brownells RDS cut slide compare to milling an existing slide for a red dot?

A Brownells RDS cut slide is a less expensive method to add a red dot sight to a Glock 19 compared to sending an existing slide for milling. It allows for piecemeal component ordering and avoids taking the pistol out of commission during the work.
