Red Dot Site for a Glock 17

I've thought about doing it to a competition gun, but I don't think I could carry it daily for protection. Dunno, guess I'd have to try it first.

that setup takes over the rail as well as most of the area over the slide. I am not aware of a standard production [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/holsters.html]holster[/link] that would work for that setup. A custom maker might be able to put together something for you.

Is there any kind of [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/holsters.html]holster[/link] that that you can put a pistol in that has a scope mount on it. Such as this one? http://www.opticsplanet.com/mako-group-fab-defense-black-tactical-scope-mount-for-glock-48706.html

Yes, same recommendation. Just buy the mount for the Sig instead. A gunsmith installation is a good idea and worth the money and peace of mind.

After spending a couple hours shooting a Glock 17 and a Sig Sauer P226 (9MM), I decided on the Sig. Does your recommendation change if I've switched gun choices to a Sig? Will the [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/burris-fastfire-w-picatinny-mount-4-moa-dot-mat-fastfire-sight.html]Burris Fastfire[/link] mount well to a Sig 226? I'm obviously a novice here - done a fair amount of hunting as a youth but never owned a handgun. I'm looking for a site that will be fairly painless to mount (I'm guessing I'll need a gunsmith to mount it right) and care for that will help me get as close to what I'm aiming for as possible (my vision isn't what it use to be). Many thanks.

I would highly recommend a mini [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/red-dot-scopes.html]red dot[/link] such as the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/burris-fastfire-w-picatinny-mount-4-moa-dot-mat-fastfire-sight.html]Burris Fastfire II[/url] with a [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/burris-mount-fastfire.html]Burris Fastfire Glock mount[/url]. Why bother with a clumsy mount and [link=http://www.OpticsPlanet.Com]optic[/link] when you can just replace the rear sight with a tiny, quality [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/red-dot-scopes.html]red dot[/link] and mount that will still let you put it in many [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/holsters.html]holsters[/link]. It weighs about nothing, and has nearly the same feel as a pistol without a [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/red-dot-scopes.html]red dot[/link] on it at all. The dot is also much closer to the bore than any other kind of [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/red-dot-scopes.html]red dot sight[/link].

Does anyone have an strong opinion on a [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/red-dot-scopes.html]red dot[/link] for a Glock 17. I've done a bit of reading and the [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/sightron-brand.html]Sightron[/link] S33 gets great reviews. Is this type of site the way to go for Glock 17 9mm?
