So I was finally able to realize my goal of obtaining a Glock with the MOS slide. I ended up trekking down to Pantel Tactical in Renton where they placed my order for a Glock 19 Gen 4 MOS 9mm pistol. As an aside, I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the customer service, selection and staff knowledge that I encountered at Pantel Tactical. It was a very pleasant experience. The only bummer is that I'll have to wait for my Glock to arrive sometime next week and then make the trek again to pick it up. The deal I received made it very worthwhile though.

So now I am biding my time with the intention of purchasing a Trijicon RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) sight to mount atop the milled out MOS slide. As it turns out, the Trijicon RMR's are nearly as much, if not more (depending upon the model) as the damn pistol. So I'd like to pose a question to anyone familiar with these set ups, or anyone just inclined to add their two cents. Should I wait it out to save my pennies and buy the extremely expensive but tried and true Trijicon RMR or is there an alternative sight out there that could arguably be as reliable as the Trijicon but without the prohibitive cost? I know I've seen people running Doctor sights atop the MOS slides as well as Meopta and Leupold Deltapoints. There are probably others as well. So is there a cheaper option that will perform and last as well as the Trijicon RMR?

If I do go with the Trijicon RMR, I have already determined that I will go with the RM06 because of it's 3.5 MOA dot and the ability to manually adjust the brightness of it. I'm certain that some of the other Trijicon RMR models would work well too but after doing a little research the RM06 seems best suited to the needs of a pistol sight.

Please chime in with any advice, suggestions or certainly any deals you might offer me on an MOS suitable optic you may have lying around and don't use any longer. Thanks for enduring the long winded query.
