other common questions:

do your services void my products warranty?

yes, majority of our services actually would void your warranty

can you re-cut my slide for a different optic?

unfortunately, if your slide has already been cut for an optic - it cannot be re-cut to accept a different optic footprint

do you have a recommended ammo type for after porting services have been completed?

with firearms that utilize stock recoil spring we have noticed that shelf/store bought ammo is efficient

can you port my comp-block gun?

we do not offer any sort of porting service for comp-block or sight-block models

why won't you tri-top my prodigy gen 2 slide?

the gen 2 slide is less than 0.060 thick at the thinnest areas of internal lightened stretch. tri-top depth is 0.040 cut and would make the remaining layer 0.020 thick - that is not at all ethical for machining, gunsmith or longevity
