mreed911 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I see several places on the internet - anyone have recommendations vs. google searches for places that do a good job milling STI Eagles for RDS's? Likely an RMR cut for the new Holosun competition optic, which I understand will require a milling + plate solution because of the slide width. Is CHPWS the default provider here at about $250 for a plate solution? Someone else? Dawson wants $600 for DPO milling. Will Staccato still do this directly?

Kilrb Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I am checking with Springer Precision to get my 2011 done. I want one that's not on their list waiting on response now. I am like you Googled and looked at a bunch of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog009 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I would look at the following - DSC GunworksChambers Custom (its their proprietary plate, you pick from one of their approved gunsmiths to get it cut. If it was me, this would be the top of my list)Monsoon Tactical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertTortoise Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 DSC gunworks has no wait time and will get it back to you in a week or two. It's about $200 plus cost of the plate or you can supply your own plate. He does really nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Not sure if they do Eagles, but I just got one back from DP Custom works. Doug mills the slide and you don't need a plate. I would call him and see if he does Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE1010 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Check with Art @ Axiom Custom Guns in Wesley Chapel, FL. They do phenomenal work with a 7 day or less turnaround for their direct optic mount cuts. Tell them Rob sent you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect the Eagle will have the slide width for an RMR cut without a plate but I'm okay with that. I'll start doing my homework on these three.

jjbolling Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 C&H Precision CHPWS does great work and they have several mounting plates to fit most all footprints. They also agreed to make a custom mounting plate for my 1911 to fit the Sig Romeo Max/XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw him yesterday and he's very happy with their work. I think one of my Cheely pistols is going to head their way before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has better pricing and turnaround time better than anyone I checked with. Everyone was 4 weeks plus I was given one week from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter212 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Dsc gun works or chpws I have used both and they’re both good. I know chpws had some hiccups but mine was good. Turn around time on both was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
season94 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I had a Chambers Custom RDSM plate installed by Buhler Ballistics on my STI 5" . Turn around was good and quality is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MoreChains Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Any updates? I have what is essentially a 9mm STI Eagle only the slide was tri-topped. Rear dovetail is a Bomar cut. I looked on DSC’s website, and they did say the Atlas GW optic cut is compatible with slides already cut with the Bomar/LPA dovetail. Anybody do this and have pics? Being that this is for a comp gun, rear sight (or front for that matter) is not needed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreed911 Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 No update from me, but after some work done on a Glock 22C, I'd have no problems sending it back to Green Tick Tactical to do. https://greenticktactical.com/products/1911-optic-cuts I ended up getting a matching .40, so I have a matched pair of 9mm/.40 cal Eagles now. Not sure I'm actually going to mill one anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
