Thank you for all of the suggestions. Mr. Cottton I called Mr. Vandenberg this morning and I am sending my slide at the end of the week. He has adopted the slide milling where you use the Glock MOS plates on your 1911 and use the sight you want. That way you are not fixed or locked down to to just one sight. I think that is brilliant. So I am going to start out with the Holosun 507c.Charles L.

He's in Pearland Texas, south of Houston. He charges about $200+.
I've seen a video of Vulcan Machine Werks (https://vulcanmachinewerks.com/) in Plano. I don't know anything about them, but I may send a S&W CSX to them to mill the slide for a Holosun 507K. I don't believe Ed will do a CSX.

I'm happy to hear that Ed is still in business! I only used his services once and that was over a decade ago. First rate!carlson1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 1:35 pmThank you for all of the suggestions.

I am so very sorry. I will now have each of my carry guns in rotation all have red dot sights.Rafe wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 1:57 pmI'm happy to hear that Ed is still in business!

The only problem now... I'd sworn I wasn't going to have any of my 1911s milled for an RDS, that I'd wait until I bought a new one that was already setup that way. Now I blame Carl for my serious reconsideration and the possibility of spending money with Ed Vanden Berg again...
You've got me thinking about it now for my Kimber.carlson1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 5:29 pmI am so very sorry.

I shoot so much better.
Yes they do. They have done two Glocks for me the day I took them in. I didn’t think about them with my 1911. I guess I just figured they didn’t do 1911’s. I was there when they were unwrapping some new machines and they gave me a personal tour. I was very impressed. They are great people, but I have already committed to Mr. Vandenberg now so I will follow through.SigM4 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 7:22 pm For anyone interested or still looking for milling in DFW Maple Leaf Firearms in Celina does excellent work.
