    Oddly enough, every mass produced 1911 I've looked at with a bull barrel, still has a bushing cut in the slide, and my guess is that the Prodigy does too.
    Got it now, I misinterpreted it as “slide only”. But yeah could be a licensing thing, I’ve owned an SA with a factory Trijicon setup but that’s a little outdated as a system now.

    That’s gorgeous. Nothing looks better than the OG RMR.

    The 10mm TRP and the .45 ACP Operator SA previously offered used the Trijicon mounting system. While it is solid if installed properly it’s pricey, doing the slide cut for it properly is a PITA, the BUIS are tall and you are limited to RMR patten optics.

    CHPWS did mine. Stellar work, great fitment of the RMRcc.

    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.

    Wright Armory is $165 and has some other reasonably priced 1911 smithing available. Haven't used them for anything, I think I just got their name from searching.

    Likewise, but I went with the 507K.
