Craig1981 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm looking to purchase another shadow and have the slide cut for the optic. I have a burris fast fire 3 that I'm going to use. I plan on using it for carry optic in uspsa. Wanted to get it to feel as similar to my production shadow as possible. Wondering how many people have done this and if I have to do anything else to it to make weight. Oh and feel free to post your carry optic shadows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Shadow with Optic and mag should come in right about 43 ounces and some change. unless you are running heavy grips, you should have no problem with weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are sweet. 43oz. Is over the allowed weight for carry optic. Weight limit with empty msg is 35oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) it needing some peening to work honestly. but once finally in solid, it has stayed. i'm just not committed enough to the division to mill a slide Edited January 10, 2017 by rowdyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
