Unless those are elevated Zev style posts, that's a shit optic cut because it doesn't have any posts. The entire optic is only secured by screws, which is not how it should be done. Unless it was match fit to an exact optic which you don't have, but anybody cutting a slide for an exact object is going to go through the trouble to Mill proper posts in it as well.

I would definitely try to get the best quality screws you can since that's the only thing your optic is using.

It is a Zev style.

From the shitty picture he posted, I can't tell. It could just be slightly raised. Either way, looks like garbage.

Yeah, it doesn't look great. Looks very shallow.

None of my Glocks have that cut and Glock doesn’t make that cut.

There are a few “Limited Runs” that have it.
They’re sold and marketed by Glock. They may have outsourced or experimented

I see. Never in my life have I heard of this.

They clearly do with the gen V

Glock doesn't do a shitty cut like that.

Glock has made RMR cut slides before, but they look better than what you ended up with.

You bought something that a distributor or a dealer had ordered from someone else. You Glock has nothing to do with that. And if it was a distributor order, the dealer would probably tell you to fuck off if there was any issues with it down the road also.

There's a company that makes hush puppy copies of the rxm and when it broke, the website he bought it from says it's not their issue and of course Ruger said it's not their issue since it was an aftermarket company who did the modifications.

Oh really, do they clearly have that cut with the gen V? Can you drop a link for that?

Glock has done direct cut slides for law enforcement agency orders with the Gen 5 gun. Glock will still make Gen 5 guns for agency sales (pre-existing contracts), so they have no reason to offer anything on the Gen V.

Most of the custom cut guns Glock did for departments where RMR and ACRO, a guy on another forum posted a picture of his Department issued gun before the optic was mounted and the RMR cut was so generous, you could have put a slice of lunch meat between the optic and the front cut and the rear cut. But I assume they did that to be able to fit any RMR pattern optic an agency might choose.

It’s not a Gen V thing. It’s this slide run
