    No problem. For what it’s worth, the new Sig 1911x comes direct milled for K footprint optics and is S80 - I assume Sig was able to do this because it’s designed from the ground up to be an optics...

    I’m not aware of anyone who can mill a 1911 and keep the drop safety. Impact and Green Tick will work on those guns but they’re clear that you’re ditching the S80 safety when you send it to them.

    I’d recommend anything using the K footprint over the RMRcc just because it’s more likely you will have new optics available to you as technology improves. That footprint isn’t going anywhere,...

    I’m sure TC will have something smarter to say than me, but if you have a relatively common firearm you can start by looking up “[Glock/M9/1911/what have you] maintenance schedule” and going with...

    Yeah never mind, I’m wrong.

    My guns are all cut for adjustable sights too so I went and looked at my EGW order and the gun. It’s a square stop. I completely forgot about putting a radius on it...

    I think you should be able to get a round bottom FPS from either EGW or Wilson. I got one from EGW for my Baer, which uses a 9mm firing pin. Still oversized to require fitting, but the round radius...

    Very interesting that they were able to maintain S80 compatibility with the optic cut. That’s not possible with aftermarket cuts, to my knowledge (at least every milling shop I’ve looked at either...

    That’s probably the other option - one of those and put the extra cash into parts and work.

    I thought I remembered reading something about full standard parts compatibility including the safety. If going for a lighter gun someday I’d potentially give a used one of these the nod over an...

    I may come to regret it but A) blue wasn’t cutting it and I was completely done playing around and B) I have a soldering iron, it’ll be fine???

    Getting screws to stay put when shooting full power .45 can be a bitch if my limited experience so far is at all indicative. I needed to use the longest screws possible and lots of loctite with...

    I really like the looks of it with the hump on the back of the slide. I hadn’t even made the P210 connection others have, but it does a great job making the optic look at home on the slide. With a...

    I’m sure it must be compatible with at least some longer holsters for 2011s, if not all of them. For example, a Tenicor of either the commander or government length.

    As far as price Impact Machine was $150 per before finishing when I got my slides done. I think Green Tick Tactical is priced similarly. Those are the two I really looked hard at for my two slides.

    The TCP is the same gun but with a rail and a mag well instead of a bobtail, so now that it’s optic ready it seems the ECP shouldn’t be far behind.
