I’ve had optic milling done by L&M, battlewerx, C&H, and recently maple leaf.
The maple leaf cuts (1 M&P, 1 Glock) are the loosest pockets of them all. Going somewhere else next time

Jagerwerks is running a Black Friday sale: Optic milling for $80 and nitride refinish for an additional $20. It’ll probably take a while to get your slide back but the workmanship will be solid.

That’s a great deal - I know mine from another vendor were $160 normal pricing.

Have you ever noticed how these threads always turn into "I used (insert name)."?
Does the fact that you used them make them "best"?
I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.
How else could a thread like this go? There isn’t a governing body for accreditation or anything like that. I’ve never heard of anyone putting the time and money in to buy samples of every company’s work for an in-depth comparison. All you have is personal experience with a company and whether the end result was up to your standards. For example, I haven’t had any work done by Maple Leaf yet but there have been so many positive posts from people who have that I wouldn’t have any issue with sending them a slide for milling and refinishing.Originally Posted by jlw

It’s a good point. At least we have a list that omits or calls out shops that people have had poor results from.

Dang, wish I had another one to send them...
Which pistol is best?
I carry a Glock.
I carry a 1911.
I carry an M&P.
I carry a CZ.
I carry a P30.
How is that any different?

That’s my point. There’s no objective criteria established in the question. Which is best? Best by what metrics? Cost? Turnaround time? Number of options offered? Tightest tolerances resulting in the best fit between optic and slide? People have to make recommendations based on their experiences with services offered because there’s nothing else on the table.

The terminology of "best" is the problem. They are all done on CNC machines, they should all pretty much be the same.
Just like pistols or pickup trucks, there are many good ones, probably no such thing as a best one.
