RFI on preferred companies for slide milling.

[Casual Friday]

Just curious who everyone is using these days. My 2 gen 5 G17s have enough rounds through them to justify a voided warranty so I'm looking to get them milled for the RMR footprint. Thanks.

[Wake27]

To me, slide milling for a red dot is like body armor - I’m not about to pay to try something new and untested. ATEi is as tested and proven as there is.

I actually cheaped out and went with the universal cut and am still extremely pleased. I don’t beat the shit out of my guns but I’ve broken plenty of things and mine has held up perfectly.

I have been using Primary Machine with complete satisfaction. They usually turn a slide in a week.

[LtDave]

Wright Armory in Mesa, AZ has done 2 HK VP9s for me a couple of months apart. Turnaround less than a week on both.

[RAM Engineer]

L&M is one of the originators.

[David S.]

There seems to be a lot of good options for optics cuts.

I took a risk on a local guy that was recommended by a DFW area shooting group: Vulcan Machine Werks (https://www.vulcanmachinewerks.com). So far, so good.

[Oukaapie]

I’ve had Vulcan, L&M, Primary Machine and all seemed good to go.

This. An important component missing from the original question is "what do you want milled?" For HK, CZ, and other non-Glock options, Primary Machine seems to be the most well established option.

Two g17gen5 slides done for me, I like the design, perfect performance through RMRs, hs507c's and SROs.

[Mark D]

Possible a stupid question... If I just get an optic cut, do I need to get the slide refinished? Provided I'm not getting extra serrations and embellishments, it seems like a quick coat of rustoleum on the milled pocket would suffice.

ETA. Did I say rustoleum? Cold blue is probably a bit more dignified. But the question stands - pay for refinishing or not?

I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas. I'd have the slide refinished. YMMV

I think most slide milling places have the option to refinish (Cerakote, etc) just the milled portion.

[KG556]

I recently retired from a law enforcement career. Just before I got out, I had two Glock model 45 "work" pistols milled and cerakoted by Mod1 Firearms in Kentucky. I know some other LEO's at my former agency who had them done by the same company. We all had good work, with really fast turnaround times. Took about two weeks or so. Not sure if he is more backlogged nowadays, but he seemed to be pretty fast compared to some of the other quoted times. (These were done in the first quarter of 2019). I am very happy with all his work I witnessed firsthand. Just fyi.

[HCM]

In addition to the companies mentioned such as L & M, I would advise in general that you look for a company that does a broad spectrum of machining and gunsmithing.

Most of the milling horror stories come from “bro shops “ That claim to do optics cuts or “custom slides” but don’t do any other type of machining or gunsmithing work.

[SeriousStudent]

Another vote for Vulcan. They did a G45 slide cut for an ACRO P-1. It's excellent.

[TC215]

JagerWerks just did a G45 slide for me. The milled the slide and installed the RMR and fixed sights I sent them, and refinished the slide with black nitride. The also zeroed the RMR. Turnaround time was 3 weeks and the cost was $175.

I’ve paid for some of the big names thrown out over the years and they are good, but I’ve also realized they are priced pretty high in this day and age for what is required.

[flyrodr]

Was just down at Mark Housel's place (L&M Precision), and thought about this thread. Mark had spaced out on a work table a long line of slides and red dots, going through his process. But what made me really appreciate the machine work knowledge that was necessary for this business was the variety of adapter plates he was machining. There were not only those necessary for certain initial installations (e.g., a plate with an integral rear sight), but also those where a customer asked for a slide to be adapted so a Brand X red dot could be replaced with a Brand Y red dot. And more . . .

I'm sure there are quite a few talented people available to do this work. Still, it's nice to see first hand the variety of quality work that can be done. And Mark is a really nice guy too!

I only have a few thousand rounds through that particular gun, but yes, I'd use him again. The mount and Cerekote have held up well.

As an aside, he's started doing grip stippling too. He does a generic looking stipple job and a very high texture rubbery grip coating that looks interesting for a duty or competition gun. They're too pokey for concealed carry. I have a couple carry guns that could use a stipple job - they'll probably go to Boresight Solutions.

[awp_101]

Thanks! After the first outing with the G19/Dueck RBU/Holosun combo I think I'm ready to have the slide milled...

[SeriousStudent]

My G45 is doing fine. I loaned it to my Army Captain nephew.

Even an officer couldn't mess it up. I was pleased. :cool:

[CWM11B]

Another vote for L&M. He did the slide on my old duty pistol and I have been nothing but pleased. He us somewhat local to me, so I made a couple of short day trips to deliver and pick up my slide. Very impressed with the organization of his shop and the number of slides he had in the que from all manner of makes and models. I've got a couple more in mind for him to configure for me.

[Exiledviking]

Who's best for USP slides? Thinking about a SRO or ACRO on a USP 9.

[Casey]

L&M did a Unity Tactical ATOM installation on a G19 several years ago that worked flawlessly.

More recently, I had Primary Machine mill a VP9 for me that turned out quite nicely. I put 4,800 trouble-free rounds through it before the RMR crapped out (early 2013 model). I was happy enough with the quality of the work that I sent a second VP9 slide to them last month.

It seemed to me that Apex posts a lot of social media pictures of pistols with optics, and it made me wonder if they might be doing milling. I couldn't find anything on their www but to confirm I sent them an email.

They do not.

I do my own and usually mill for a "click" fit. But looking at specs, it seems that it would not be that hard to insert dowels for the mounting posts on my next one.

I just recently got back a G48 and G43X slide from them and am pleased as well, I am especially happy with the refinishing. I only wish they made a cover plate as I don't think I will be seeing the other RMSw any time soon. Communication was also top notch. I received e-mail replies on the weekend no less. I couldn't recommend them enough. Their turn around was fast as heck too.

They milled my slide recently. Sent them my RM06 and Trijicon plate and they did the install free. The firearm turn around was as promised. The work looked great at an unbelievable price.

The only thing that I did differently was to increase the amount of insurance on my shipment. Since it was a grand new G5 G19 and a new RM06 that I sent them, I didn't think the insurance amount that was standard, covered my exposure level. The cost for the extra coverage was very reasonable. I didn't need the extra insurance (no claim required) but I slept better knowing that it was there.

Happy customer here.

507c will require suppressor height sights, 507k may allow for standard sights depending on how deep PM mills the slide.

I would strongly recommend finding the lowest possible BUIS. I want the bottom of the trough level with, or slightly below the top of the optic body. I think the Ameriglo's trapezoidal rear sight obscures the least.

My holy grail for defensive use has become useable cowitness with normal height sights. I have a 19.5 with RMR and broadsail height suppressor sights, but that’s definitely not where I want to be for smaller defensive guns such as a 43, 43X, 48 or 26.

My 26.5 will probably be the next RDS victim. I’d like to quantify how deep of a cut is needed to do this for a low, compact RDS like a Shield, Swampfox Sentinel or 407k instead of an RMR or RMRcc. It must be possible since the 43X and 48 MOS models do it out of the box.

I believe the question is whether PF version of vBulletin enables/allows file sharing. Otherwise, someone would need to "own" a registered account (google drive, MS onedrive, Box, etc) and share access to the file from there. Could be an anonymity issue although a separate account to be generated. Then some sort of permissions or tracking would need to happen so that multiple edits to the same file don't get lost or overwritten... I'm sure I'm not describing this adequately, but, sharing a "spreadsheet" has many more layers than sharing an image.

A Google Sheet would be ideal. There are many permission options that could avoid those issues. Multiple people could be made editors while everyone else is read-only. Also, you can allow downloading and making a copy in Google Drive, so anyone else can take it and run with it if needed. Just mentioning it because, in my experience, other methods tend to fall apart over time.

For example, in the programming world we use what are called "version control systems" to store code. An example of this is a program called Git, and a website called GitHub that is built on it. The end result is, you have a single source of truth, which is important to keep things in sync and well-managed over time. Also, being that it's version controlled, you have a total history of all changes and can revert any of them at any time. Google Sheets does have a version control system.

If a Google Sheet is an option, I'm always happy to create it. Just let me know the details, if any other PF members with Google accounts need to be made editors, etc. If not, no biggie.

I got my slide back from ATEI today and am very pleased.

I like it better than the slides I’ve had done at Jagerwerks and Battlewerx, but at this point that is more due to the enhanced serrations than the optic cut itself.

The Battlewerx slide had the deepest cut, but the nitride finish didn’t hold up as well as the Jagerwerks finish. The serrations on both the Jagerwerks and Battlewerx were too busy for my taste and they have to put their logo on the slide. The ATEI serrations look stock but have significantly more bite.

Yeah that’s pretty good considering the holidays. They did my G19.4 a few years ago and while I don’t abuse my guns, it seem far more use than any other gun in the safe. Even with the universal RMR cut, it’s been fantastic and I’m really glad I opted to go the gold standard route instead of trying to save a little time and money, considering these are permanent modifications.

I also agree on the aesthetics, idgaf about fancy machining on a Glock slide. To me, it’s like modding a Toyota Camry so I just want it to work well and not scream “look at me.”

I'm looking at two very lightly used different Glock 19 gen 5s locally. One is a MOS and has a gen 1 Holosun 508T mounted on a CHPWS plate and the other 19 is non MOS. Both have the FCS, so they should have the preferred breech face cut. The price difference is ~$400.
I have a spare Holosun 509T laying around that I'm thinking would be a good match for the non MOS G19.5.

Is it preferable to have a direct milled MRDS like to 509T? Looks like it'll run me around $200 to get the slide milled for the 509T.

While I like the turn-key aspect of the MOS G19.5, I'm not thrilled about the CHPWS plate and the gen 1 508T since the sight will have to come off to change the battery and the earlier gen CHPWS plates were supposedly not great.

What would you do?

Exiledviking, I would go with the direct milled 509t, with rear sight forward. My main carry gun is a p-07 with direct milled 509t2, and I’m very happy with it. No plates. No screws. Low profile BUIS.

You could replace the chpws plate with a forward control designs plate
