Might ask INGO member AllenM. I was at his shop today and he was talking about milling a Glock 19 slide and adding a optic to it.

Unless you have your own mill, this is going to be tough to beat. Especially considering the suppressor sights are included.

bump lol. My friend has a mill and I would atleast like to see the drawings if anyone has them.
Mark used to do the work for Suarez, both companies do excellent work. It's real easy to cut the forward face too far, and you end up ruining the slide. I've never seen drawings, I'm sure they exist, and I'm sure some one such as the above mentioned companies won't let that info go!
Another option would be to sell the glock, and buy an MOS when they come out. They were released at shot show. The one thing I cant figure out is why Glock is releasing them with standard sights vs suppressor sights. I ask the people at shot show about it, and their comment was "not everyone will run a optic on these so we put regular sights on them. In my mind I dont know why someone would pay extra for the MOS model if they didnt intend to put a dot on it, but Glock didnt ask my opinion.
From what I've seen, the MOS is a POS.
You won't be disappointed. I had Mark mill an M&P slide for me a couple of years ago and I can't say enough good things about his work - great communication and I had the slide back in about a 7 day turn around from the time I shipped it to him.
Sights are too small to co-witness, it's a generic milling made to a one size fits all ok, but none well. It needs various adapter plates to facilitate different sight. An overall fail in my opinion!
Another shot of the same slide
Who did your grip work? That looks really clean and like it would be very comfortable.

I don't think they are on shelves yet (others would know better than I). So the only place anyone has held them would be a trade show. I played with it at shot, and couldnt figure out why they would put non suppressor sights on the gun. When I ask Glock they said because not everyone will run it with a dot. To me if you didnt intend to put a dot on you wouldn't but the MOS model.
There is about 1/8th inch diffrent foot print in all the popular dots, and use it was milled to the bigger dot. The dot is held in place by the screw's not the milling so its a mute point. The sights were my complaint, but to be honest, its easier to swap sights than mill a slide so its still a viable option.

I'm guessing Glock looked at this like the look at sights for all their guns. The consumer will likely change them out anyway so why bother putting any extra $ into them, or dealing with offering an option for that.
I would have been fine with cheapo plastic suppressor sights bud as I said it's an easy fix.
