What would it take to make a dagger slide work on a glock 19 gen 5 lower??

Would love to take advantage of the slide+optic deals I see pop up. Is it doable?

I believe you can, but it isnt easy. Off the top of my head…back plate, ambi safety, sights (gen 5 are a different factory height iirc), and perhaps more.

I was hoping to get the new slide with the holosun combo and just pop it on my gen 5 frame… With as little mods as possible, but it may be out of my scope of capabilities. Probably just get a rds for my Sniper Green dagger.

They put up the sniper green frame yet?

negative.

The is super late. But you can do it. There are two things you will need which can both be had for $30.

(absolutely need this or any other gen5 back plate)

(this is optional for cosmetic reasons.)

Welcome to the forum @JSway22

Did anyone confirm all you need is the recoil spring spacer and rear plate adaptor? I wa s looking to do the range thing. In fact, PSA has a complete upper with RMR or they also have just the slide with RMR. I was leaning towards the whole slide set up with my g19 gen 5 if possible. Was also wondering if the barrel and recoil spring were interchangeable, but i guess they aren’t.

You would need a gen5 rear plate, or modified gen 1-4. Right side notch is larger on the backplate to account for the new ramp added on the trigger housing.

All gen 5 double stack barrels are compatible with G19 Gen 3 guns, and vice versa. My Glock 34 barrel fits my Daggers and 80% guns.

The recoil spring adapter is helpful but not absolutely needed. There will be a gap between the slide and frame at the front U shaped bit without it.
