Description
This is a service to cut your factory Glock slide to allow direct mounting of an optic (aftermarket slides cut with prior approval). Factory optic ready slides cannot be cut unless specifically stated. We only offer cuts for the models listed on this page, if you have any questions or have a model not listed, please reach out [email protected]
Summary of this service:
- .250″ depth of cut
- Fits Holosun 509t (not ACSS)
Recommended Sights for Lower 1/3 Co-witness: We recommend .225″ (rear) / .205″ (front) for a low cowitness with this cut.
IRON LOCATION: You can maintain factory dovetail placement, positioning the optic in front of the rear sight. We also offer an iron sight relocation service to move the optic cut to the rear, allowing for a recut dovetail in front of the optic. We also offer racecut options that eliminate the dovetail completely and cut the optic in the rear position of the slide.
COATINGS: Three refinishing options are available. Cold blue is a chemical that reacts with bare steel and offers very little protection, but allows the refinishing of just the machined area rather the the full slide. The cerakote and nitride options are for the entire slide. We use H series oven cure cerakote and offer 5 colors. The black nitride is a OEM style metal heat treatment that improves surface hardness and gives the slide higher wear resistance compared to the cerakote. Note that nitride lead times are not guaranteed and may take 3-4 weeks.

THE PROCESS: After checkout, you will receive instructions for shipping your stripped slide to us (please remove the barrel and recoil spring unless you are also getting porting). We will perform the cut and/or refinishing and ship the slide back promptly. You will receive an email notification once we receive the slide (typically the day after it gets delivered to us) and a second email when it ships back to you with a tracking number.
TIMELINE: We will complete the work in the stated turnaround time (Mon-Fri) or less, including coating, after receiving your slide.
Note: Your order will be returned to the address provided at checkout. Follow instructions and include a copy of your confirmation email when shipping your slide to us to avoid increased turnaround time.

My 509t FINALLY sits low! The optic cut is precise, cerakote finish is even all throughout, and the 509t grabs on there fairly tight. I can’t recommend them enough and will continue to do business with this company.

Sent my slide off on Thursday, received it the following Wednesday. Ridiculously quick. The irons were installed rock solid and zeroed. 6 months and around 1200 rounds later. It’s still kicking. Will 100% be back for more.

Shipped on a Monday, back in my hands the next Thursday. Flawless machining and finish and perfect fit for the optic. I don’t know of anything that could be improved. This is the best optic milling service you can get.

Great turnaround time. Sent it in and a week later it was back in my hands. Cut/finish looks great and the surface is very clean. Optic slides right in, perfect fit. Highly recommend this company. Will utilize this company for future slide cuts again. Great work.
