Any recommendations for shops in the area? Im wanting to have an XDM slide milled. I have found plenty of places online, but would like to see what you guys have had good luck with. Thank you!

Check out Controlled Chaos in Baxter.

If they can't do it, I'd send it to Rose Action Sports in Kentucky.

That area has been without a good gunsmith for many years now.

There used to be a pawn shop in Davenport that had a VERY good 1911 smith. Don't know if he is still doing it or not.

Call Springfield and see if they can do it. Its just over the river
