I saw this hotness on Reddit today. I didn't even know the pro cut slides existed for the P226.

I know this is largely a personal preference, but I think it would be a good way to get an Romeo on a P226.

Just not sure about the cut across the front. The rest is fine.

No. Just. No.

Wait for Armory Craft to make a P226 Skeleton slide with optic cut.

I like the red dot option but the ovalish looking holes are not as attractive to me, but appreciate the design.

Are there any third part adapter plates which let you run an RMR on these or an Acro?

CHPWS has a gap filling plate for RMR's and I think an Acro plate.

For some reason that slide reminds me of an old railroad engine...after it was steampunked, circa 1957-58ish Buick Special/Roadmaster Limited mashup style.



Lightening cut portholes (or holes in general) and that very weird crescent moon cut across the front ain't my thing but if it works for you, go for it.

I have the pro cut slide for a 320. I wanted the optics cut, didn’t really care for the cuts in general. I can live aesthetically except for the round cutout on front of slide. It looks idiotic. It also seems to be very popular with aftermarket slide makers. I don’t understand why.

The Pro cut slides have screw holes for an RMR. Aftermarket plates serve to index and stabilize the optic, kinda like the S&W CORE.

Not trying to be contrary, but why does it have all those cuts? I’ve seen the new STI Staccato come with them and the DVC pistols...

How does one mount a Romeo 3 Max on a Pro-cut slide?

SWEET !

That is one ugly mother.

They're more for competition oriented pistols then hard duty use. The irritating thing is they don't have the standard slide with the optics cut for sale unless your want a 6 MOA Romeo 1 Pro.

No thanks. The 226 is a classic that needs to be left alone.

Oh the inhumanity of it all!!
Don’t call me when it beats itself to death!!

I'm all for innovative industrial design, but why would anyone want a slide that has the potential to let all sorts of foreign debris into the most delicate working parts of their gun?

Aesthetically this seems more suited to a sci-fi or dystopian end-of-the world movie set. I guess I'm an old fashioned, incorrigible fan of the classic P226 design. Its clean lines and functional design just seem to please the eye and the hand, generation after generation.
