We’ve curated the best direct mount red dot sights for the Glock 19 MOS β whether you're carrying concealed, shooting competition, or upgrading your home defense pistol.
These optics mount directly to your factory Glock 19 MOS slide, eliminating the need for extra hardware and giving you faster target acquisition with a lower profile.
