BeerBaron Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 here is the factory limited that the rest of the world gets. it comes with lightened slide already. you could always replicate that? I still don't know why they don't do the cuts on the US market limiteds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aloreman Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 i think im going with a combination of all of the above. except the factory one. customizing a handgun to look like the factory model is like drinking non alcoholic beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 fair enough. the reason cuts replicating what they do from factory is attractive is that there's evidence (assuming it's cut correctly) that it doesn't weaken the slide in any meaningful way (many of those slides around the world running like that), and it'll be easy to find springs and loads that work well with a slide of that weight and balance as it's a known quantity. Having said that you may well be able to improve on it both in aesthetics and performance. I particularly think removing material from the rear to balance the material removed from the front is probably a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaep1911 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Sorry about layman's question but what are benefits of doing this slide lightening? Felt recoil reduction? Faster cycling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
