Looking to have a vp9 slide milled for an RMR

[01906]

Looking for recommendations of A Shop that does this locally. (Within an hour of Saugus) Someone recommended Parker Mountain to me. They have great reviews. But they are three months out. I don't need it done next week or anything but that's a long time to wait.

 

[Dressed to Kill]

Gunsmithing Services - Saxonville Armory I asked if they did RMR cuts for a VP9 when I was there , they said yes. Email David he'll take care of you. They're located in Framingham so should be about an hour from you.

Try Steve at Northeast Arms in Peabody on Rte 1

 

[Mr.E]

Ive never done it before, but I can give it a shot with sawzall, soldering iron, and a router for $100

no warranties or refunds
Act now, I have a feeling this offer will be popular

Dremel tool and and an air chisel or you’re doing it wrong.

Measure once, cut twice.

Haha I appreciate it but I'll pass for now

$99, and I’ll even make sure you get the slide back when I’m done with it.

I called Northeast Arms. They won't do a VP9. Sent a message to Saxonville Armory.

I haven't used them yet but they have a good reputation and I plan to use them soon to add an Optic cut to my P365.

please ask this friend to let you know how his experience goes, and perhaps for some pics. I'm sure it'd be helpful to many here to see as well, and if he does a nice job, drum up some business for the guy!

Would it make sense to buy a slide already cut?

That's what I was going to suggest. Not sure if HK sells their new RMR cut slides directly on their own. The VP9 I picked up in March was one of the new pre-milled ones.

I believe they sell a 2020 slide kit. I picked up a 2020 long slide kit during their labor day sale and it comes already pre-cut. You do have to get an adapter plate for it, like with the Glock slides.

Yep, I put a Trijicon RMR on mine.

Nice. I will reach out and see if they will cut the slide on the side so I can add sights and shoot the gun sideways like a gangster.

Yes, I am serious about doing that.

I know it's not local, but C&H Precision in Richmond Hill has a good national reputation and I have personal experience with them. They cut my G34 for a Trijicon SRO and did a terrific job. Reasonable price and quick turn around.

That would be too easy, to just buy the correct gun.

You got my hopes up. I purchased a long slide a while back. Thought maybe it was cut but didn't notice it . Because at the time I wasn't thinking about an RMR. But no cutt

That's the big difference between the 2019 and 2020 long slide kits.

I never thought of it that way. It would make sense to just sell this and buy one that was already cut.
I know it doesn't make sense logically. But I like this one . I don't want to get rid of it to get something new. I have the same feelings about my wife

I was going to go 'old school' and suggest an adze, trammel points and a witch burning but if you want to go all modern...

 

[LuvDog]

Is there something special about the VP9 that makes it hard to get milled for a dot?

 

[lazypengu1n]

Ashbury Precision did mine right around when the Ruger Precision came out as they make their own chassis that I checked out and saw they did custom milling.

At the time, it was the most costly custom work I’ve ever done. $600 but the gun, rmr, barrel, all of it was free.

Here’s my decked out VP9 w RMR and HK Parts Spring and HK45 release.
