Any 'smiths in middle to southern maryland do high-quality slide grinding on a pistol so a red dot may be accommodated? Not liking the "turnaround" time I'm being quoted by some on-line shops. Thank you.

Just a heads up, you will void most firearm warranties by milling the slide. Does your handgun mfg offer a slide with a red dot pre mounted? That should keep you in warranty compliance. If you’re not concerned with a warranty get it milled. fred55

When I was looking to have my Glock slide machined, I saw the same thing re: return time. When I looked closer, it was mostly because of refinishing. Shops do refinishing in a batch. Just a machining job, with no refinish, was a much quicker turnaround.Any 'smiths in middle to southern maryland do high-quality slide grinding on a pistol so a red dot may be accommodated?

I think Battlewerx took a week door-to-door for my RMR slide cut, no refinish. I'll put some cold blue on there, and some grease. I think it'll be ok.

Might be worth contacting Walt Frear at triggerdoctor.com. He did an impeccable job for me on a recent sig229 40SW > 9mm conversation and rebuild.
No slide milling on my project but impeccable craftsman

if you can't find a local, check out zeroed in armory. i bought two slides from them (at different times) and they did some lightening cutouts as well as milled them for vortex vipers. they got them back out within 7-10 days.

I used Battle Werx. Turnaround was just about a month. RMR cut and had the whole slide nitrided. $150. I just got the notification that my slide is on its way home. I can update once it arives...

You've probably done your homework but if not, make sure your slide can be milled. My German Sigs were no-go's so I bought a slide/red dot combo for just a little more than the price of milling, refinishing and the red dot.
