Step by Step
FIRST TIME
SENDING A SLIDE?
Here is exactly what happens.
Step 1
PICK YOUR SERVICE
Browse by platform (Glock, CZ, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson). Select your optic footprint and finish. Add extras like serrations, porting, or suppressor-height sights. Check out online.
Your order confirmation email is your shipping label. Print it and include it with your slide.
Step 2
SHIP YOUR SLIDE
Remove your barrel and recoil spring. Send the slide only, along with a printed copy of your order confirmation.
Use a USPS flat rate box. Wrap the slide in bubble wrap. Add shipping insurance (we recommend it). Ship to the address in your confirmation email.
Step 3
WE MACHINE IT
Your slide is CNC-machined to exact optic specifications. The finish you selected is applied. The slide is reassembled and inspected before packing.
Cerakote and cold blue finishes: 3-5 business days. Nitride refinish: 2-4 weeks (sent to a partner facility).
Step 4
WE SHIP IT BACK
Your slide ships back assembled, finished, and ready to mount your optic. You will receive a tracking number by email when it goes out.
