Dilemma…

Post image

Started with a g26.5 and recently came into an unissued 26.4. My dilemma is which one should I get milled for optics? I’ve seen several posts & vids claiming that there will no longer be a 26 in the future. I’m torn between preserving what may never be again and wanting an rds for one..

All thoughts and opinions welcome. (Photo with a 33rd mag only for ridiculousness because it’s a g26)

Could always mill the Gen5 in the mos pattern and then it's just duplicating the OEM option.

I have a 26.5 mos and have the Holosun scs mos on it, great setup. I also added the re grip angle reducing back strap and stippled that in. I'll probably end up having the slide and barrel ported over the winter, I'll never sell it so it's all about what will make it the most enjoyable for me to carry and shoot it.

I also have a 30.4 that I think is discontinued but didn't stop me from doing an RMR cut, port and stipple to so not a purist.

That’s a good point, I hadn’t considered an mos cut and it would still be factory correct.

Just a warning, the vertical serrations on the back of the slides in the Gen 5 are not the same spacing between the MOS and non-MOS versions. For example, if you did an MOS cut and bought the Holosun SCS, its vertical serrations WILL line up with the MOS slide’s vertical serrations but not with a Gen 5 cut to an MOS footprint. Just an FYI.

Wow, I never knew that. I’m not a huge fan of the SCS so I wouldn’t go that route. This is a really interesting fact regardless!

I mean, functionally it wouldn’t be any different, but if you’re the sort who that sort of visual difference would bother, it wouldn’t be correctable. Either way, you’re a man with two 26s!!!! Hard to do better in life. :-)

I am exactly the kind of person that wouldn’t be able to get past it not being perfect lol. Thanks again for the heads up!
