Which company to mill a Shadow 2 slide?

[M1911]

I would like to get my Shadow 2 slide milled to direct mount an SRO.   I do not want a plate system.  Who have you used and would you use them again?

Impact machine does a great job. They’re worth checking out for sure.

I'm going with CZC because they offer a plate system in case you don't want to commit to just one footprint.

I specifically don’t want a plate system — more potential points of failure and it puts the red dot higher over the bore. I understand the reasons why someone would want one, but for me the RMR footprint is fine.

I have one done by Primary Machine and sent them another a few weeks ago.  Most of the local guys I know who shoot CZ's and have had milling done used them and all had good things to say.

I have 2 from CZ Custom either plate system. Fast turnaround and I’ve not had any issues. The plate system is the way to go.

I have direct milled both sp01 shadow and shadow 2 for sro. Cajun gun works did my shadaow 2 and lightened the slide. Fire4effect did my sp01 shadow. I would recommend and use either company again.

100% understand your reasoning, but also just wanted to note that the CZc plate system slides in from the side, so basically like a large dovetail mount. Pretty cool, IMO. Sorry just wanted to bring that up.

 

 

I would go impact machine as well. Would normally recommend fire 4 effect, thet mill so low they need a relief for the SRO lens. But I believe they are closed up.

I saw today fire 4 effect is closing,

I've had CZ Custom, Patriot Defense and Cajun do direct mill and all did a great job. Patriot probably has the fastest turn around time.

Anyone use stone bridge? $134 bucks and they milk it super deep. They also put a relief cut in the slide under the lense of the SRO

Impact Machine or Cajun Gun Works

I am placing an order with primary machine for the exact same thing today.  Still trying to decide on the Harbinger 1 or 2...
