A Glock MOS optic cut uses a plate system. A direct RMR cut is machined for one footprint. That is the real difference. MOS gives you more room to switch optics later, while a direct RMR cut keeps the setup simpler and more locked into that pattern.

Usually, yes. Glock MOS slides are built around adapter plates, and Glock’s own MOS system is designed that way. If a listing is actually a direct RMR cut instead of a plate-based MOS setup, then the answer changes. The cut style decides it.

On a true MOS setup, optic fit comes down to the plate, not just the slide. Glock says its current standard MOS plate fits Trijicon, Ameriglo, and Holosun optics, except the 509. Other MOS plates are used for footprints like Docter, Vortex, Burris, Insight, and Meopta.

Not always, but often yes. Once an optic is on the slide, standard-height sights may sit too low to be useful in the window. If you want a visible iron-sight backup or a co-witness setup, taller sights are usually the better move.

An aftermarket Glock MOS slide sold as stripped is just the slide body. A complete upper already includes the upper assembly parts, and some listings also include a barrel. That changes the purchase a lot, because one is a starting point and the other is much closer to ready.

They can be. If the goal is function first and cosmetic perfection is not a priority, blem or grab-bag Glock MOS slides can make a lot of sense. The tradeoff is simple. You usually save money, but you have to be comfortable with finish flaws or cosmetic variation.
