Will Abrahams Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I currently have a shadow 2 slide sent off for optic milling and slide lightening cuts for weight reduction. Under the new ruling weight reduction would no longer be necessary. I am leaning towards still having weight taken off the slide to lower reciprocating mass and possibly help with dot tracking. I could be a little off on my numbers but and looks like with the slide lightening + optic it would be approximately 2 oz lighter than a stock slide without optic. Any reason not to do weight reduction on a shadow 2 slide? Edited March 3, 2020 by Will Abrahams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you have the money and want to do it, no reason not to. Your theory of where to take off weight is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Limited, where all kinds of other options are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
