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.

I sent my Les Baer 1911 slide to C&H for optics cut milling and am very satisfied with the results. My 52 year old eyes don’t pick up irons as fast as they used to, and I have found red dots help with this a lot. I had C&H mill the slide for an AOS plate as I have a few 2011’s that use this system and wanted the flexibility of swapping plates. I’m also a believer in Mr. Murphy and as such did not want to forego iron sights as a back up. I was initially going to purchase an optics ready 1911 and was wary of sending any of my existing 1911’s to be cut as any mistakes made would more than likely be ‘unfixable.’ I’m very happy that I took the chance and will be sending additional pistols to CH for this service. Communication was good, and I received my slide back sooner than expected. 100% recommend.

I have known about CH Precision for a while as I have a couple of their adapter plates in use but this is the first time I have sent a 1911 type slide to be milled. The reason I chose CH Precision is that they are one of few companies that have a cross plate that eliminates the rear iron sight. The process was straightforward and easy. When the slide was returned to me the milling was done mostly as I had requested with the one exception being that they did not mill so the plate could be installed as far to the rear of the slide as possible. In fairness to CH Precision this was only talked about on a phone call and was not included in the additional information area of the paper copy. When installing the cross plate I did notice that the raised cross on the slide and the indent in the plate are not precision milled so the plate was able to slide around a bit on the surface. Since the plate is secured with 4 screws I’m not sure if this an issue or not. All in all I’m pleased with the outcome and will be sending another slide in to CH Precision to be milled.

Had a 1911 milled for RDS. Could not be happier with the service. Accurate work was done. Slide was returned much earlier than expected. RDS literally fit like a glove. I WILL be using them again.

Found CH precision online, no one directing me to them. Called for some general questions as this was my first slide to send to someone. Talked to Thomas, very easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Absolutely loved how easy they made it, from how to videos for packing the slide, phone calls to confirm the online order and invoicing. A very professional business with great communication from start to finish. I sent the slide and optic as they prefer, and it turned out great! The fit and finish are great, can’t wait to get put it to use. I would highly recommend using CH for any of your slide cut needs. When I need another slide cut, they will be my go-to for sure.
