Milling 320 for RDS

[terrydoc]

Hi Guys

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the early model full size 320 cant be milled for an RDS? Does anyone know about this?

I've not heard anything about it as all P320s have the same interchangeable upper just different sizes. I got mine milled with no issues.

Thanks, I'll check with my gunsmith to see if He see's any issues.

It had something to do with the inside top of the slide, obviously a concern about how deep the cut could be

Yes, the early slides had a very deep channel milled into the slide for weight savings. This left the top of the slide so thin there was not enough metal remaining to perform the slide cut. You can easily tell with a photo of the inside of the slide.

This is not a great photo, but it's the best I could find online in a couple seconds. You can see the full length channel cut into the slide. (Ignore the red circle)

 

Newer slides do not have that channel cut. It is all steel.
