Title: Slide milling for RDS and serrations
Post by: ImKu on October 02, 2023, 03:45:29 PM
Aloha,

Is there any local shops/businesses recommended for milling services?

If not local any personal experiences using mainland shops?

End goal is to revive a M&P 1.0 by adding a RDS(need that milled out), ports, and serrations.

Mahaloz for any leads!   :shaka:

I've been getting slides milled for Glocks from Thrash Tactical, via Danger Close Tactical.  They were only doing Glocks for a while, but maybe they've expanded.  Excellent work.  I've had them so three slides now, and a bunch of shooting buddies also have had their slides milled by them.

For M&P, I was told (by trusted shooter friends) that Monsoon Tactical is one of the better.  Check out Point 1 Tactics on IG.  Donovan shoots M&Ps quite a bit.  I believe he has recommended Monsoon Tactical for slide milling for M&Ps.  Monsoon also does barrel and slide porting.  I am thinking of having them do some work on a future pistol.

I've used this smith for a 1911 rear sight mill job. https://kcskustomcreations.com/kcs-kustom-creations/ He was pretty fast and reasonable. Former Marine armorer. My slide had a Novak sight cut and I wanted a bladed rear sight like the Bomar. He did a great job.

I've also visited Precision Machine in Pearl City for work related jobs. The owner told me they also work on firearms. They have a well-equipped machine shop.
