I want to mount a red dot on a G17 and having trouble finding enough info to make a decision which way to go. I think I'd like to have the option of going to co-witness iron sights. It seems Glock Store shows only a few sights they offer for this:
Trijicon RMR, Vortex Viper, Shield RMS
I'm guessing it is a matter of having a low profile to the sight and have it mounted in the OEM recess of have the recess machined? My other choice could be to get a spare slide, have one slide with iron, one with dot. Seems better to have both on one slide.
Are there any other dots that can work with co-witness iron sights? Also, the MOS Glock offerings seem to require an adapter plate, thereby raising the sight, is this correct?
