Slide Cut

A slide cut is a precision-machined recess in the top of a pistol slide, sized to accept a red dot optic directly or a mounting plate that adapts to a specific footprint (RMR, RMSc, ACRO, DPP, etc.). Cuts can be done from the factory (optic ready) or aftermarket. The cut places the optic as low as possible to preserve sight co-witness with the iron sights.
