Best optic for glock G19x

[Alexburn]

I own Glock G19X and start to think about adding a red dot. What is the best 3-4 options working with adapter plate because I don’t want to change or touch my slide. Thanks for the advice

If you don't want to mill your slide, your best bet would be sourcing a replacement slide that is already milled for an optic, and keeping the 19x slide untouched.

Adapter plate is not a good option like the CH precision paired with trijicon or holosun 507 ?

Aimpint makes a rear sight dovetail adapter plate to fit their Acro/Acro 2. The Acro/Acro 2 will be lower than anything else (aside from a sideways-mounted C-More). It'll sit pretty high, though, compared to a plate that is sitting lower, in a slide cut.

Adaptor plates that mount through the rear sight dovetail just plain suck (they invariably work loose either loosing zero at best or fall off the firearm while in use) and are widely seen as a waste of money that could otherwise go toward a new slide.

I'd recommend doing a bit more research on the subject before committing to that decision (even if it is only ~ $90)
