SilencerCo has just announced the optics-ready SCO Slide for Glock 19 pistols, featuring three models with different red dot footprints.

Probably the easiest way to add a red dot sight to your factory non-MOS Glock is to just buy an aftermarket slide for it. Plenty of companies make these, but SilencerCo has just thrown its hat into the ring as well with the SCO Slide.

Designed for Gen 1-3 Glock 19s, the SCO Slide is being launched with three variants available each with a different optic footprint—RMR, ACRO and 509T. The best part is the SCO Slide allows for direct-mounting red dots, so there’s no need for an optics plate. The machined slides are made from corrosion-resistant 17-4 stainless steel and feature a black DLC coating.

As for the SCO Slide’s aesthetics, SilencerCo took inspiration from its integrally-suppressed Maxim 9 pistol for the slide serrations. The deep, aggressive cuts should make the slide easy to rack, and it features side-cutout windows too. It’s worth noting, however, that the SCO Slide does not ship with a cover plate or mounting screws except for the RMR variant which ships with two screws.

All three SilencerCo SCO Slides for the G19 share an MSRP of $299 and are available now.
