Nemesis Lead Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi Guys, I was thinking about getting my M&P slide milled for a DeltaPoint Pro (Carry Optics Gun). Before you say, "Just get an M&P Core." I live in California and can't buy one. A few questions: 1) Can you please recommend a reputable company to do the milling? Looking for the usual--good work, good prices, fast turnaround, stand behind work, etc.. 2) Are there any known issues with milling M&P slides for optics? I worry a bit about the extractor pin on the top of the slide. 3) Can M&P's have their optics mounted low or are there issues there? 4) Anything else I should know about milling M&P slides? 5) For those who shoot carry optics, do you use backup sights? Many thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance! My buddy is a machinist and milled his own slide without issue for his Fast Fire III. The FF3 has a line on the back approximating the location of a rear sight in the event of failure, and that worked well enough with the stock front sight to hit a plate at 20 feet.

hlpressley Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The guys at DP Custom Works mills slides for Optics everyday. Just google them and check out some of their work on the FB page. PM me for a pretty nice discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Why not get a carry optic top end for your current production gun? Then you have the trigger and all the kit (mags, holster) you are already used to. CZ Custom sells the uppers stand alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely set up for multiple platforms From a magazine standpoint.....I am actually better set up on the M&P. Still making a decision between the two.....

LilTMoney Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I also had my M&P Pro work done at DP Customs. They did side cuts and top and side serrations. They did a phenomenal job and were great to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) There's this build: Also, a local friend has a heavily cut .40 longslide M&P. Large lightening ports on the sides and other material removed in other places. Looks great. So yeah it can be done, no problem. His gun looks much like this one from Google, but black: Edited July 7, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
