Mill a P10-c slide for a RDS

[Edward_Teach]

Check out Skala Industries.https://www.skalaindustries.com  the owner of this shop also owns JagerWerks - which is a well known Glock milling company.  Skala is his offshoot company that will focus on CZs - the P10 and Shadow2 seem to be of particular interest to him.

Just as a heads up this is not the owner of Jagerwerks.  This is someone else's project

Checked my Jagerwerks RMR'd Glock.  Thickness between the RMR base and ejector plunger hole is about .125. That equals 4 threads using RMR standard 6-32 screws.  On the P10, the .063" thickness results in 2 threads of engagement.  6-32 major diameter is .138". The rule of thumb is to have the same depth of engagement as the major diameter, so even the Glock comes up short.  Now according to an engineering calculator, minium required thread depth comes out to .068" or just over 2 threads.  So threads over the striker tunnel is alittle short but still probably okay since the pockets and rmr body take the recoil forces.  Biggest concern is vibration backing out the screw, but that's what loctite is for.  The other screw is full depth and the pocket has more surface than a standard rear sight, so racking it off objects should not damage it.  Glock MOS mounting  plates are .100" thick, and the plates have been reported to break before the optic.

earlan357,
Thanks for the detailed and researched response.  I hope you will post whoever/however you modify your P10c slide and I plan to follow your lead.  This is much more complicated than I imagined.

Again, thank you for sharing your research.

Man, that is really sweet...
Wonder if a diff Red Dot like a Vortex Venom or Delta Pro would fit the same.
I hate the idea to remove a sight just to replace or troubleshoot the battery and with as much trouble as RMRs have (yes, alot) with battery contacting the slide, I won't own another one..... putting electrical tape down is not a fix I want to hear from the manufacturer.

Thanks for posting your experience.
Best of luck going forward.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.  I'm pretty sure I want the Vortex Venom on my P10-c after shooting it again over the Fourth.  But nothing is purchased yet.  Still watching and reading...

44.5mm back from the breech face to the center on of the mounting screw hole is the furthest back you want to mount it for an rmr.  43.5 is more appropriate for anything else
