You bet, happy to help.
Prior to sending my P10C to JW I shot a few of my friend’s guns with different arrangements of BUIS in front/rear of the RDS. The less cluttered view, and lower 1/4-ish in the window is what I ended up opting for (this was circa 2018).
Fast forward a few years to the LTT RDO and 2-3 years of shooting a RDS pistol in USPSA, I realized I was probably over-thinking it bc when shooting target-focused I don’t see the rear sights at all. Just the target and the dot super-imposed on it. At arms length, esp with my bad close-up eye sight, the ginormous rear sight on the LTT is not even there. And if I ever put a SRO on the LTT I’ll probably notice it even less.
Agree with all regarding buis orientation. Just a word of caution regarding sending your slide to CHWPS- they took my slide in early October 2020, promising a 3-4 week turnaround. After getting multiple “almost finished” updates upon monthly check-ins, I finally got my slide at the end of February 2021 after the owner said I “was being a Richard” (his words).
PMM is local and does a lot of Walther work. I don’t know what their current turn-around time is, but I know multiple employees and the owner and all are good people.

Stone Bridge Gunworks did my P-07 direct mount. I’m very happy with the work, and the turnaround time.

Jarod got back to me quickly and unfortunately they don't machine for Walther plates. I decided to go the plate route in case I ever decide to change to an optic with a different foot print.
Question: beyond the long wait and rude communications, was the work satisfactory?
Thanks.
It was ok, not great. I was having an early P320 xCarry converted from Romeo1 (not pro) to take a 509T. The final plate it fine, but C&H does this by basically converting the slide to R1Pro, then adding tiny MOS pattern screws to secure the plate. I don’t know why they didn’t just use the R1P screws/location for the plate, as they are much more robust than the MOS. Ultimately I had the plate (C&H installed) come lose after about 5-700rds and had to reinstall, but I’m not keen on the tiny screws.

Thanks.
Do they install the plate? I assume they do. In my case I'm planning on them to do the machining and then I install the plate.
I've been mounting scope ring bases on bolt guns for years and have my own methods for ensuring they never come loose. I'm hoping to do the same with the plate.
