I don't disagree. But even on my somewhat more expensive pistols, I opt not to use red dots because I just prefer it. My long guns all have some kind of optic though, except my shotgun. But pistols I prefer irons. 17L though is the longest barrel pistol I have, figured with Glocks being so common, there would be "non milling" options, so here I am looking for options. I prefer minimal/no electronics with certain things in life, guns being one of them.
https://wasatcharms.com/products/canik-accessory-mount-copy actually I didn't even know they made this, apparently it bolts to a mount on the picatinny, so it could actually be a solution except it's hella expensivehttps://wasatcharms.com/products/glock-optic-mount. You could do one of these that bolts to the frame
Other members have shared similar solutions that mount to the frame, race gun style or whatever.
If you don't care about other people's opinions then get a dovetail mount, they seem to work *enough*. You'll get criticized and clowned on but if you don't care then do it
