I hadn't shot in a couple months just given life and the cold ... didn't do any dry fire or anything either.
Did some shooting last weekend with dot and it was like riding a bike. Present - dot - bang. Solid hits. The dot gives confidence. |

I picked up a new Glock 19.5mos for $550, love GSSF, and waiting on decision about red dot. Thinking the rmr06 or 508t with aftermarket plate for better fitment. Have the FCD RMR plate and an adjustable RMR 06 on the way |

Any advice on refinishing a ceracoated slide after getting it machined for a dot? As in the slide is currently ceracoted and I want to get it machined. Does that complicate the refinish process?

Does that complicate the refinish process? It shouldn’t complicate the process at all. Once it’s machined, they’ll media blast the slide to prep it for whatever finish you want after the machine work. I had Jagerwerks nitride a slide that had been previously ceracoated. |

I think I'm going to get one of my 1911s milled for an RMR. While I'd like to get the Chambers Custom plate/milling, it appears they are out of stock, and attempts to contact them have so far proved unsuccessful. As my fall back option I think I'll end up going with the Trijicon plate. Does anyone here have any first-hand knowledge or experience with Southwest Precision Arms for the machine work? If not, do you have any suggestions for the necessary 1911 cut?
Thanks |

PSA on Romeo 1 Shroud Kit: I got a new Romeo 1 Pro on a 320 XF and ordered the Romeo 1 shroud kit after reading on Sig’s www that the kit is for both optics. The screws that came with the kit didn’t work so I contacted CS and they said to use the original screws that came with the pistol. They said the screws with the shroud are for the slides cut for the Romeo 1. |

Brownells slide made it here today. Zaffiri barrel coming later this week, frame won on GB hopefully this week too. Just need sights, small parts kit for slide, and time to sight her in.

My 11 YO at 13 yards, slowfire. This was last year. He has only recently shown an interest in pistol shooting and only shot maybe 250 pistol rounds total in the last 2 years (he likes 22 rifles better). However - he does have a good instructor   Attached File |

GL-429 sights are good for a milled slide, not sure if they are high enough for a MOS. The RMR will serve you well. |

Recently bought a P10C Optics Ready as my first RDS pistol and mounted a 507c. Zero'd it this weekend and let the wife put a few rounds through it. It'll be replacing the non-dot P10C on duty as soon as the holster comes in.

 The other RDS gun I've been messing with. It will have a 509T mounted later this month, once CHPWS starts shipping their 509T plates for the VP9.
