new EDC G19 MOS

[martinjd]

So I have just completed my new EDC. It is a Glock 19 MOS that replaced my G19 G4. I added the Trijicon RM07 6.5 MOA RMR  along with the recommended kit, AC32064 RMR Mounting Kit, a SureFire XC1, and a set of Dawson Precision iron sights for backup. I went with the Trijicon over the Burris that I have on my 41 because the Trijicon can be left on at medium brightness for up to 4 years and it was much easier to find sights to work with the Trijicon than the Burris which sets a little taller. I am amazed at how much better I am able to shoot with a red dot on a pistol. As I get older it is harder to focus on the front and rear sites and the target.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing I couldn't find was a holster and most companies are not making one at this time that will accommodate the SureFire XC1. I ordered one from Dara Holsters but they are 8 weeks out.

 

This next paragraph may sound like an advertisement but it isn't and I get nothing but the satisfaction of recommending quality work out of the deal.  I needed some kind of holster now, while waiting on the Dara to come in, so I did a lot of searching and found out about Bruce here in Middle Tennessee. Bruce is a Firearms Instructor, Gunsmith, and has been making quality kydex holsters for the last 4 years. The holster you see in the images below was made by Bruce for my gun. I am not sure what his normal turn around time is but he had mine made in about a day and the quality and fit are fantastic. I am in no way affliated with Bruce but you can reach him at roninsar@gmail.com if you are interested in a custom holster from a local source. Be sure to put kydex holster in the subject line. Pictures below.

That's a really nice set up bud! Classy.

[Jamie Jackson]

I like the setup as well. Very nice!

 

As I continually age...shame ain't it? LOL...I'll probably seriously consider this concept carry package.

 

I was, and to some degree still am, concerned about the ruggedness and durability of miniaturized red dots...but by all accounts the current RMR's are holding up quite well.

 

I definitely like the Surefire light you've chosen.

 

Very nice holster as well. Looks like good work.

 

Have you had the opportunity to run the run much yet?

I like it...I like it a lot. I'm in the same boat as far as eyesight and have a similar setup. It's hell getting old.

I have put a few hundred rounds through it and it is holding zero so far; at least as far as I can tell. I did use loctite on the rmr to base screws. I know the military use a lot of Trijicon and if it takes the abuse they put it through I feel pretty confident. A high priority for me were the backup iron sights.

That is a nice looking setup.

I agree with your reasoning most definitely.

 

I would think the RMR would be most useful at distance, and use of the traditional sights pretty easy, and intuitive, for close range. Just thoughts as I have minimal experience with this setup...so far anyway.

 

I just read this linked article (credit to pistol-forum & Chuck Haggard) last evening.

Of course I would need to win the lottery first...but I like the concept.

Very impressive EDC.  Looks like you thought of everything.  Well done.

I like it. As I age my sight is getting worse and I can an see ( pun intended ) a setup like this. In the meantime I will stick to the wider rear sights offered by 10-8 and Novak

If you haven't already read it, there is a free copy of Suarez's Using Red Dot Pistols available as a PDF over at warriortalk. 

 

You've got a good looking gun and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm not a fan of the MOS because it's just 1 more layer of something to break over getting a slide milled.

 

I'm fat so I can get away with a G34 EDC  :devil:

 

[Kevo]

Wow! Sweet G19.

[hipower]

Very nice setup! I hadn't as yet seen the 19 MOS configuration. I like it.

 

And Mr. prag...I really wish you hadn't linked to the Roland article. That is astounding!

And Mr. prag...I really widh you hadn't liked to the Roland article. That is astounding!

 

LOL

 

I wish I hadn't seen it myself!

 

I guess I need to buy a lottery ticket...it could happen!? :drool:

I don't usually go for the gussied up types(does that make me sound old? lol), but that is a fantastic pistol. If even half as good as it looks on video...well you get the idea.

 

But way out of my price range. Heck I'm still wondering if I could stomach the cost of a Wilson.

Broke down and bought a new gen 4 Glock 19 MOS past weekend.  That Trijicon looks VERY tempting.  And how about the Leupold?  Any thoughts?

[JohnC]

Yeah, what others have said.... Very well done! :up: 

 

Very awesome for an EDC as well.
