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.

While waiting for my Lead and Steel Pandora, I thought it a good idea to get the work done on the slide for my dedicated suppressor host. Excellent machine work, verry pleased with the resutl. Can’t wait for the optic to get here so I can fire it up. Thank you CH!

Have always wanted an optic on a 1911. Picked a CS model from Rock Island as a host and began to research companies to do the cut for an EPS Carry. Settled on C and H as I’ve heard 1st hand accounts of their quality and services from multiple people. Very happy with the decision. The optic cut is extremely deep and the cerkote is perfect. My EPS Carry mounted nice and snug in the pocket. Will definitely be putting another project in C and Hs hands in the near future!

I had C&H Precision mill the slide of my non-optic ready Staccato C so that I could mount a Holosun EPS Carry optic. As always, the work was nicely done and was completed in a timely manner. They even mounted the EPS Carry on the slide before returning it to me. I had the black nitride coating applied to the slide after the milling which I highly recommend.. Since the factory rear sight is lost in the 1911/2011 slide milling process, my one surprise is that the optic sits so low that the rear sight built into the EPS Carry optic body is substantially lower than the factory front sight, thus preventing a usable co-witness of the iron sights. I have zeroed the optic and the Staccato C with the EPS Carry optic is incredibly accurate.

I’ve sent 4 different STI and 2011 builds to get cross cut and I’ve been extremely satisfied with all of the cuts. The plates have held strong for many thousands of rounds and the fit and finish is exceptional. I’m about to send a 5th gun in for a cut, CHPWS is the way to go.
