cferree Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 How much weight does tri-topping a 5" slide take off (one with an adjustable rear/dovetailed front)? 0.50 oz.? 1.00 oz.? Less? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Charles, 0.40-0.75ozs. You can also cut under the rear sight and in front of it. The inside can be cut also on the slide. The barrel can be cut down as well. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hello: I think it is for a 1911/2011 slide but could also be done to others. No perforations allowed in single stack. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cferree Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Thanks for the info. It's for a SS primarily used for SCSA. There's an outside chance it will be used in USPSA, so I don't want to have any slots/thru cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned maybe using it for SS in USPSA and if you do, you can have any internal lightening on the slide like mentioned above under the rear sight or firing pin channel like you can on a limited or open gun.
