2011 / 1911 / STI SLIDE OPTIC MILLING SERVICE
From: $129.00
All slides are evaluated when they arrive to determine that an optics cut can be safely milled into the slide. If we determine your slide cannot be upgraded, we’ll send it back to you at no charge and issue a complete refund.
Any 2011/1911/STI series 80 slide that has a safety plunger/firing pin block CANNOT be milled for any optic or adapter plate due to the cut going into the safety plunger/firing pin block cavity. The only exception is the Lionheart Regulus due to the cavity for the firing pin block not extending into the cut area.
We cannot mill any .22 caliber 1911 slides.
**The pictures of each modification are an example of what only choosing that modification will look like on the slide. Modifications performed may not look exactly as depicted depending on your slide model and the combination of serrations, windows, and/or pockets you chose.
**The CHPWS EDC-RMSc/EDC Enclosed/C&H Max, Holosun 407K / 507k/EPS, Shield RMSc, Sig RomeoZero/RomeoZero Elite/RomeoX Compact (Romeo Zero Pro and R cannot be direct milled) Vortex Defender-CCW (Defender-ST and XL cannot be direct milled) and Trijicon RMRcc can be direct milled to your slide without an adapter plate. All other optics must be mounted with the CHPWS cross plate.
**The Agency Optic System (AOS) cut can only be milled in slides that have no rear sight dovetail or a standard rear sight dovetail. This cut cannot be milled into slides that have a BOMAR rear sight cut or other adjustable rear sight cuts that are low at the rear of the slide and cut into the firing pin retaining plate.
**All 1911/2011 milling requires the rear dovetail to be milled away. Most CHPWS cross plates and AOS plates incorporate a built in back up iron sight.
** Most 1911/2011/STI slides are milled to the depth of the base of the rear sight dovetail or BOMAR cut for direct mill or cross plates. Slides with a shallow rear sight dovetail or no dovetail are milled to a depth of .200″ from the top of the slide if possible. This is to ensure the cut is flat and screw holes are milled properly. For slides with a deep dovetail this can mean some thinner base direct mount optics may have the bottom of the window slightly below the top of the slide and make optic integrated rear sights sit too low to be usable with stock front sights.

Received my slide well packaged, work was perfect. I will be sending in two more 1911 slides for slide milling service! Great work and highly recommend C&H for slide milling needs.

Sent my STI DVC Carry 2011 slide along with a Holosun optic for direct mill and within 3 weeks I had everything back, the optic mounted and torqued to spec with witness marks. Fit is tight and looks factory installed. Took it to the range this past weekend and just needed to zero the elevation a few clicks. Excellent work, great customer service and a very fair price. Have another 2011 that I will be sending in next.

I now have had 2 1911 slides milled and with the cross plates they are fabulous. Very solid and absolutely no problems.
Big Thank You!

I got the AOS system cut on my RIA FS Tac Ultra 10mm with the C&H EPS plate and I couldn’t be happier. The milling job is excellent and they did a great job mounting the optic onto the plate and slide. They took great care of my slide as well as taking care of an issue that I had with a sight mount stuck in the dovetail groove. They lopped it off for me and got to work real quick and had it back to me much sooner than expected. Would recommend.
