Mill slide

[burt gummer]

So I have A Springfield armory xdm 45 and the sights if anyone owns one sucks and I want to upgrade them and put a holoson sight on but I was told by Hoosier armory that it has to be milled at ZR tactical solutions and it looks like they charge a lot and I was wondering if anyone local could do it cheaper? Really appreciate any help

It doesn't "have" to be done there. That's their recommendation.

As far as cheaper, I'll leave this here:

someone will probably bring my name up. I have done a couple and IMHO best way to go is to mill the slide for one of these plates. https://shop.powderriverprecision.net/PRP-Low-Mounted-Optic-Plates-1-for-XD-XDM-PRP-SM-1.htm

Due to the slide design you can not mill very deep and bury the optic like you can in other slides but it still works fine.

However, I am backed up until next year, I would pay ZR and have it done right if you want it bad enough.
Or buy and optic ready pistol.

Check DP Custom Works.

I had them do a slide and it turned out great. They don't show your pistol but contact them and ask. They are expanding.
