I have a few pistols that arent MOS or optic ready (just steel sights), would it be possible for a gunsmith or someone to make them “mos” or “optic ready”? Is this a thing or am i just a tard?

It is possible but quite a bit expensive. I’ve seen it anywhere from $200-$500 to get it done.

Thanks for the reply, so is this something a gunsmith would have to do? Also is there a way to say order a “mos” or “optic ready” slide for said gun? Which route would you recommend?

One of my buddy’s used black box customs to tap their slide for a sight. I’d say check out their website, they have all their services and prices posted. I’d just try to buy another slide but those are hard to come by.
