Notes
The Gen4 MOS G19 was popular with law enforcement and concealed carry users looking to add red dot sights without aftermarket slide milling. Ships with multiple adapter plates for common optic footprints. The compact slide leaves less surface area for the optic cut compared to the full-size G17 MOS, but accommodates all standard micro and full-size reflex sights via the adapter plate system.
