I don't see my model of Glock with the design I want. Can you do it?
Not all designs are compatible with all Glock models. Some are and we just have not yet programmed it yet. Some we don’t plan to offer for every model. If you want to email and ask, we can tell you for sure if it is do able or not.
Do you offer Military / LEO discount?
Yes, we do. Please email us some sort of ID proof and we can get you the coupon code. Good for 5% off sitewide.
What is the lead time for slide milling services?
The lead time changes from time to time. The home page has the most up to date lead time. We do our absolute best to get it done before the lead time, however this is just an estimate and things do happen that might take longer. A lot of our lead time is based on the cerakote selection. Black always goes fastest and camo always the longest. Optic cutouts normally go quicker than a full slide milling package.
Do you do frame stippling or full builds?
No, we do not do work on FFL regulated parts like frames or lower receivers. If you want to get a full build done or just frame stippling here is a list of companies that we suggest. We work with all these companies in the list to get the slide to them for your full build. All these companies are very reputable, high quality, and all-around good people to do business with.

What red dot optic should I go with?
I always suggest the RMR footprint for all slides except on 43/43x/48. The rmr cutout is compatible with many different brands of optics including trijicon, holosun, and swampfox.
For the 43/43x/48 I always suggest the 407K footprint. This footprint also works with shield RMSC as well as the swampfox sentinel and some others. The holosun 407 or 507k is the best bang for your buck.
Things to consider when buying a red dot optic.
- First thing I look for in a red dot optic is, “Does it turn on with movement?” (Shake awake). Several companies out there do not and if you forget to turn it on when carrying, you might be in trouble if you had to defend yourself.
- How long does the battery last and do I have to remove the optic to replace the battery? Removing the optic to replace the battery could potentially lose your line of sight and you would have to re-sight the red dot. It’s also just a pain to take off and re-loctite the screws on and wait overnight for it to dry.
- How durable is the optic and does it come with a warranty? Some brands are more durable, and some come with better warranty and or better customer service than others.
- Does it have different reticle options? I prefer larger MOA reticles I think they are easier to spot on the glass vs a 1 MOA dot that can be hard to see during the daytime. Multiple reticle options allow you find what works best for you.
- Closed emitter vs open? I have used both and can’t tell much a difference between the two except the look. The closed emitter does seem to stay cleaner which is the purpose for it. However, I have never had an issue with open emitter when concealed carrying. It’s possible the closed emitter would be more durable, but I have not tested durability of either.
I have used all the optics that I do cutouts for. My personal favorite would be the trijicon SRO (RMR footprint). A hefty price tag but I really prefer a bigger glass window for quicker acquisition. I also like the Delta Point Pro because of the larger glass window. If just starting out on a budget though I would go with the holosun 407c or 507c (RMR footprint). Really great price that includes shake awake, long lasting battery without having to remove optic to replace, durable, and great warranty/customer service. All of Holosun model optics I have had really good luck with and are well made. Same for trijicon just a higher price point for the name brand.
These are all opinions that I have formed from my personal experience with red dot optics. I am not endorsed or dealers for any of these companies.
