Neat.  I'm planning to buy the R1P direct from Sig, I don't see enough price difference to not. Best place for the DPP? Thanks! Check Proven Outfitters they are normally very good on sig stuff price wise. I like the R1P no it’s not a RMR durability wise but it serves a ton of people everyday. It’s also extremely clear with a generous window. |

I*assume* the Sig M17 (optic sight) will also fit; but at +$850, that isn't happening. I don't know what the M17/M18 pistol optic mounting standard is other than R1P or DPP. I know there is at least four of them. The Romeo M17 will not fit a commercial M17/18. The bolt pattern is different between the commercial M17/18 and the Mil-spec pistols |

You can also get a filler plate (NOT an adapter plate, with a filler plate the optic is still directly mounted to the slide) to allow the use of RMR footprint optics on most of Sig’s Romeo/DPP footprint slide cuts. You just need to make sure your slide cut is the one that also includes threaded holes for the RMR, which most of their new optics-ready pistols do

Here's a 507K mounted on my X-Compact RXP, with the old style DPP-only slide cut, no RMR holes, also using a CHPWS filler plate. It came from the factory with a Romeo1 Pro, which is a more than decent optic, but bulky. This was my AIWB EDC until I got an X-Macro, so the 507K was a better fit against my tummy.
  And I may have posted this in the thread already, but here's some more full-size EPS on Sig action, also with the same filler plate, on a P226.

I’ve decided to red dot all the things but need an inexpensive option to get a Glock slide milled. I don’t need cool guy serrations or cerakote otherwise I’d just send it to Maple Leaf but $180+ is a bit steep for this gun.
Who is the go to for an optics cut and no refinish? |

Believe it or not, CHPWS has very reasonable milling prices and a decent 2-3 week turnaround time.
I had a PDP 1.0 converted to 2.0 and then the entire slide Cerakoted for like $120 all in, and that included me shipping to them, and them doing the slide disassembly/reassembly (I'm not lazy and a PDP slide is easy to tear down, I just figured if there were tolerance issues with the Ceracoating, they'd fix it then and there). Turned out great, back inside 3 weeks. They even used Loctite on the front sight when they reinstalled it. :) Optic cut on a non-optic is a bit higher at $99 before options. |

CHPWS quoted me 2-3 weeks, finished in over 9, lied three times for the reason it was taking so long and sent it back with no loctite and barely hand-tight after saying they'd loctite the screws. YMMV |

It took CHPWS over a year to mill my slide. They claimed it was my fault for not answering calls and emails that they never made or sent. They needed to know what kind of cut I wanted on my slide, even though I plainly ordered the exact cut I wanted. The automated email confirmation very plainly stated that the order was for a 1911 slide with a Holosun 507K cut. They needed to know if I wanted a Holosun K, Shield RMS, or Trijicon RMRcc cut.
My next 1911 slide went to Green Tick Tactical, and he did take longer than quoted, but that was due to the refinishing and was still far less than a year. Cut also came out perfect. |

You shouldn’t be shifting focus away from the target. Don’t look at the dot. Focus on the target, move the dot over your preferred POI, pull trigger |

I still need to send the pl350 for update but this is gonna be my winter carry. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/371613/IMG_4083-2979559.jpg Looks like a nice gun! This isn’t directed at you personally, but I really don’t get the point of putting the shortest comp possible on a gun that’s also got the longest WML bezel on the market attached to the rail. Why not get a longer more effective comp since it won’t increase the pistol’s OAL anyway |

Why not get a longer more effective comp since it won’t increase the pistol’s OAL anyway Can’t speak for everyone but one of the benefits I see to a longer light then slide combo is the fact it offers some stand off for close retention work to have less of a chance of out of battery failure. You also have the versatility in a shorter configuration you wouldn’t necessarily have in a longer. I could see having a TLR-7 and a TLR-1 for instance but only having the shorter comp. Would allow for more comfortable carrying then a G34 length gun if you wanted to slap the TLR-7 on and carry appendix for instance or you could run the TLR1 and have a better light for HD/Duty use while always having the benefits of the comp. |
