Any non-striker guns cut for RDS?

Curious question- Are there any traditional style DA/SA or DAO hammer guns on the market that designed to accept a RDS?

Thanks!

CZ shadow 2 now has an optic ready. I believe CZ customs also has their bull shadow and A01 available in optic cut.
Sig offers a few.

Sig offers RDS cuts for their 226, 229 and 220 models, dunno if it's for all sights or just their own.

Langdon sells their (very nice) 92s ready for RDS

And lots of folks will cut a slide. I had a cut done on a 20 year old gun, very happy with it. Here's some with hammers:

Also: as far as "footprints" (what sights fit what screw holes and cuts) there's... no one source and WAY too many are listed for one and only one sight (e.g. Sig will only list theirs usually), though there are only a handful of actual footprints. But a start of a good source is here if you want to poke around:

I suspect that in the next 2-3 years just about every manufacturer will ensure that there is an optics ready variant of each of their pistol models. We are very close to it now. I think it’s s good thing... it doesn’t hurt to have the slide cut for a RDS as I have flexibility to forego an RDS or to add one if I desire. It very much reminds me of rifles and threaded barrels. If you wanted to run a can on your rifle 15-20 years ago, you’d need to get it threaded. Now, a lot of rifles, even entry-level rifles, come standard with threaded barrels.

Kimber does a 1911, others may as well, and many places will cut your slide for you.

You can also remove rear dovetail sight and purchase a dovetail plate for RDS. I have one for my CZP07 and it works very well with a Burris Fastfire ll

SCCY sells their 9mm DAO with a RDS installed

Interesting,, didnt know they could do that with the FP Block raising up... I suppose there is a cut out to allow the clearance but have to wonder how thick the plate is.

Langdon is crazy nuts for the 92. Some really, really good improvements to it lately. Here's a whole article on what they did, specifically mentioning the drop safety block.
