I think I am going to do this for my G19 or M&P. Does anybody know who the cheapest reliable source is?

I want to know as well. I want to do the same thing to my G17.

Though I think I would rather send it to someone who has a good reputation, rather than someone with a very low price. You can't put machined metal back onto the slide if they mess it up.

The two most common places seem to be One Source Tactical (Gabe Suarez) and Bowie Tactical (David Bowie).  Depends on whether you want your BUIS in front or behind the optic.  From what I've read, both do outstanding work.  I think Bowie has a much longer lead time.

Matt babb at bentwood gunsmithig does them and his work is always amazing. I just saw him doing it to a 1911 the other day. As for his pricing you'd have to call

He put my sights on my M&P.  I didn't know he would mill slides, good to know.

I came in here to say this.  You don't want to pinch pennies in this dept. Go with reputation and experience rather than price.  Whatever you pay is cheaper than a new slide and / or optic.
