Title: Dan Wesson PM9 optic cut project
Post by: stangzilla on January 18, 2026, 10:47:53 PM
C&H Precision will do the cut on my Long Beach Operator
Which is a Losded operator with specs built for Long Beach swat team
4 weeks lead time. Direct mount to the slide
Then just mount the optic and sight um in
Will get pics when she ready to go
I'm exited for this. Shpuld make a great 1911 even better
Will be better than a TRP when it's all said and done

Change plan. Dan Wesson PM9 instead

Switching from heavy 28# recoil spring to regular 23# spring
....
Huh? Standard 1911 recoil spring is 16#
You talking about the mainspring?

I ordered the hammer spring. maybe that's what I need bc once I cock the hammer it is easier to rack the slide. we'll see how it goes with the hammer spring
sorry I got mixed up with the springs

will get the Osight S. rechargeable battery with housing
multi reticle like a holosun. can co witness with front sight and sight on the optic
gotta wait to get the optic first so than C&H can make sure the fitment is perfect and they will mount the optic for me. no extra charge

I might not change the hammer spring.  I'll get more leverage with the optic. I'll see how it is with the optic on and take it from there. If its easier racking the slide, then I'll just leave it

Change of plan. Going with my Dan Wesson PM9 instead
Better gun so going this route instead. Should have the optic tomorrow then start the optic cut process once I get the optic in hand  :thumbsup:

got the slide back from C&H Precision
they did the optic cut and platinum cerakote, they also mounted the Osight S which is an enclosed optic with charging hood
I put slide back on the Dan Wesson PM9.
once they received the slide and optic, they emailed me to confirm my contact and mailing info and my order. then it took about 3 weeks to send back to me UPS. they guarantee 4 weeks turnaround but it was 3 weeks
I am super pleased with their service, fit and finish is great. turnaround time was fast. I highly recommend C&H Precision. I am sending in my Springfield Operator slide next with Osight C later this week

Love the osight cheap and good. Run them on a few of my firearms  have the S and the x and xr....

I sent out my shadow 2 slide today to nameless armament getting it milled for a vortex defender st.... turnaround time is 4 weeks was $109.99.

Then I ship it out again when it comes back to vigilante machine LLC to get the shadow 2 and the p10 to get ported. Can't wait for that one. Another 4 week turnaround time.

Someone told me that Cerakote Hawaii does porting for Glocks, I'd like to send out the g45 and 19 to get ported.
