Has anyone used either? UPDATE I received my slide back from Primary Machine and couldn't be happier. Excellent work and didn't refinish the slide.

pcar157 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 That's a change of direction for Primary Machine. In the past they have insisted on refinishing the entire slide. Good news for Primary Machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danwessondwx Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Video_2023_08_19_16_07_36.mp4 Do you guys think this is acceptable? I sent it back and told them the slide to frame fit was very sloppy, they said it's not adjustable and sent it back. I know it's not adjustable but I thought they would at least adress the issue. I think it's pretty bad. Edited August 19, 2023 by danwessondwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danwessondwx Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 It's hard to tell, but I was planning on using this for competition so it's gonna see 15k rounds a year and how sloppy and less accurate will it be then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danwessondwx Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 My wobble is definitely in the front of the slide. Do you think that much play is acceptable in a high end pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t do that with a $1700 shadow 2 orange. The play is a little irritating but IMO it doesn’t effect the gun at all. With a $130 trigger kit and a little work I have a 2lb trigger, zero pretravel, over travel and a rabbit hair reset. For 2k I’ll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they're more equal. It would be hard to tell for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can thank me After learning, in this thread, that the slide is SS, I had a long talk with them and they agreed to add "none" as a coating option to the DWX. Glad they did it, makes too much sense not to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to take more material off but I like how it came out overall. I would look elsewhere if I were to do it again though. Did you have any photos of the gun fully assembled after the slide cuts? Picking mine up tomorrow and going to get the slide cut for an optic debating if its worth the additional slide lightening cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggleme Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Anyone figure out the actual spec of the stainless on the slide? I'm in a very humid area and worry about rust on some of the lower chrome materials like 410 after my slide cut. Guessing it's a 17-4 if czc isn't refinishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
