Eliboudreaux Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Have a friend who has access on machining, dis a bunch of 2011/1911/glock slides for me befor,and so I am planning of getting my shadow 2 slide to get it milled for carry optics,just want some pics and inputs how deep the cut for optics or a picture.

JeremyV Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I Just had my slide milled for an rmr and we cut it super deep and all I had to do to make weight was change the grips. We also milled the front sight down and installed a low profile Glock sight in front of the rmr. This gives me a super low cowitness backup sights that don't block my window at all.

Red_Dot Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 When I did mine, using a gauge pin, I zeroed off of the top tangent point of the firing pin channel and milled to leave 1mm of material there. Picture attached for reference. Optic is a DPP with the shroud removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJinPA Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm thinking about getting mine milled for CO but it sounds like a one-way street (not able to legally go back to USPSA production). I called CZC yesterday to get their input hoping I could use this https://czcustom.com/rds-plate-fixed-shadow2-sight.html but the sales person I spoke was not 100% sure if they could mill it light enough without making through cuts to the slide. Has anyone come up with a solution that makes CO weight and uses the CZC rear iron sight plate to go back to production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecks Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 If you're not sure you want to do it then just buy a milled slide from CGW they're selling them by themselves right now on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benevolence Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Wish there was a way to do this and be Production/SSP compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicahSwan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I love the optic mounted directly to the slide. I have heard that if mounting the dot, that in order to have it zero correctly the slide isn't cut perfectly plumb, but instead canted forward just a very slight degree... Have any of you found this to be true? Were your machine cuts perfectly level with the bore? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysrgu Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 cz released the optic ready in Canada ages ago why arent you guys in the us getting them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it won’t make weight. It’s too heavy for carry optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update on this, I emailed DNROI and they said if you put a cover plate back on the milled out spot, it would be fine to use it again in Production. The slide milling for lightening wouldn’t be allowed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd def pay! Get back at me in PM if this is a possibility. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer this question, the answer is yes, and the correction is 0.8 of a degree cut towards the muzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I get an email to ask you some questions about your set up. Thinking about milling my slide for an rmr and really like how low your set up is.
