tha1000 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Any one making an off the shelf CO legal slide that is milled for the DP? Suarez has one, but I'm wondering if the angles that run along the top of the slide meet the "same profile" and "no lightening" requirements of the rule set. I have emailed troy, but no response... https://suarezinternational.com/suarez-v4-si-317-deltapoint-slide-for-gen-3-glock-17-black/ If not, who is the "go to" for quality affordable slide milling? Forgive me if this has been discussed, I searched and couldn't find an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 You can mill a slide for Carry Optics. You just can't mill holes in the slide. I guess that is considered lightening. As for who to send it to. There are so many. Locally we have Brimstone Gunsmithing in Camas Washington that did a glock 17 for me. They do awesome work. But I'm sure there is someone more local to you depending where you live. Always cheaper to drop off and pick up in person.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip3 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) http://forums.brianenos.com/forum/316-primary-machine/ Not too far from you. Have consider them since they do more than just RMRs.

Is more cost effective to buy a premilled slide.. so more curious about the legality of the Suarez slide above. Used glock slides seem to sell for what I can get the Suarez for.

tyler2you Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Another option is Garrett Precision LLC in Arizona. His prices and turnaround times are fantastic. His website is mostly geared towards precision rifle stuff, but he does Glock slide work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules state in 21.3 SLIDES: Current rules remain in effect – You may replace the slide with an OFM or aftermarket slide which is of the same length, contour and caliber as the original slide for that model of gun. and 22.1b A slide may be modified specifically for the purpose of installing optical sights or cocking serrations. Textured finishes, grip tape, milling or stippling on the slide to provide texture is also allowed. Cuts that are designed to specifically or significantly lighten the slide, such as holes, are ruled as competitive advantage and prohibited. The only difference I can see is Suarez has forward cocking serrations, so I'd say it is legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEM is rounded, Suarez is flattened on an angle. Not sure if that fits the "original contour" requirement or would be considered "cuts designed to specifically lighten the slide"...

SCTaylor Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 grab a few photos & email DNROI. Not a fully legal ruling but gets the initial response going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision Tactical in Hoover might be able to do it as well. https://www.ptarms.com/ $250 for the slide already cut is probably going to be hard to beat price wise. If you are worried about staying legal getting a stock slide cut would be the safest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
