motosapiens Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I like how fast the sights return on my tri-topped sti 9mm 1911. I would like to see if I can get my dan wesson pm9 to feel similarly. Anyone lightened a pm9 slide and have advice/experience to share? I won't be doing the work myself, but having a well-equipped local gunsmith/machinist do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 What is the weight difference between the two? I’m curious mostly for general knowledge purposes, since I’m not a 1911 guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more than that and you risk the slide eventually cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
