Raptor One CNC machining from Springfield Slide Blank 

11matboyslim how long did it take to get it back?

With my slide being a xdm I had to wait until they finished the new slide. I purchases in March and sent in my slide for parts migration and paint two months later in May. Following paint and assembly got the slide back late July.

Thank you, Joe!

Please shoot an email to nick@designdynamictactical.com with a good time and number to reach you.

Thank you @impactajuvenile -- we do not current make 1911 slides; however, it is definitely planned in this coming 2017 year. Please check back with us and subscribe to our channel--as we'll be posting a lot more videos and announcements.

harley bayo have you got it back yet? If so how long did it take?

Hi Joe. We currently work on Springfield and Glock slides and cut our Raptor One designs along with (optional) RMR seat cuts. On a case by case basis, we have done custom customer requested cuts--but the cost varies depending on the complexity. Everything we do has to be CAD modeled first--as we do not do any manually machining.

Thank you @jayjdw! It's a 2014 Haas VF-2 with an HRT210 4th Axis/Rotary.

+Design Dynamic thank you for your reply. I'm looking into purchasing one myself and there are so many options. I've been looking for a used one because you find them so much cheaper. I found a 08 vf2 for 20k and a 07vf3 for 50k

Thank you! Please visit our website or email us. dv8tactical.com/ contact@dv8i.com

It's a Haas VF2, however, our slides are now done on our new 2017 Haas VF4SS

We may be working on this soon!

+AnimalMotherV2 Yes, the Raptor One design cut is currently the only style we offer. If you order a billet replacement slide, it will be exactly how it is pictured (same as in this video as well).

Awesome, I'll put my order in ASAP. Thanks for the quick reply

+AnimalMotherV2 You're very welcome. Feel free to email me at: admin@designdynamictactical.com with any questions whatsoever.

My email didn't go thru to the address you gave me, I was just wondering if the slide comes ready to drop in my barrel, rod and spring, and ready for sight installation. I was also wondering if I could get a picture of the brushed steel finished product and a pic of the polished steel cerakote finished product to determine which one I'm gonna go with. Thanks. My email is tony.m.palmer@gmail.com

+AnimalMotherV2 Sorry about that. I'll shoot you an email now. THanks!

We have them. Please email our sales manager: contact@dv8i.com

Not currently but we plan to offer 1911 slides in the very near future--no set date yet.

Any luck on the 1911 slides?

We plan to offer our cuts on M&P in the near future--we unfortunately do not current offer them.

It's a Haas VF2 with 4th axis.

0.O $$$ wut.

I worked for a local Haas dealer when they just had the VF1, and rotatory table installs. I preferred LeBlond Makino maching and Mori Seiki turning. I work on subway cars now, civil service

Hello. For Glocks, we currently only offer machining customer sent-in factory slides. The cost for a Glock 19 is $198.00. You can check out some photos and more information on our website page: designdynamictactical.com/glock-custom-build-work/ any other questions, please let me know.

Hi Michael. It's in the works for sure. Will be machined from billet steel as with all of our slides.

It's a 2014 Haas VF2 and the 4th axis is a Haas HRT210 Rotary.

We do not offer Raptor One cuts on XDm model slides, however, we do offer XDm aftermarket slides with the Raptor One cuts. Please email us at admin@designdynamictactical.com

+greatwhitebandit We do not currently offer them in stainless; however, we do plan on it this coming Spring. Please do sign up for our notification list on our website to be informed when we release new products.

Hello. I would not recommend Ti for the slide. Aside from it being very expensive (just the raw barstock alone would be several hundred dollars--not including the machining expense) but Ti, although strong, is a fairly soft metal compared to steel alloy. You would see premature wearing locations such as the slide lock and breach face.

Well, the slide on my 609 PRO is made of TITANIUM…guess I should ask if you can machine some of those cut outs over the barrel. Mostly, it's for the ''COOL FACTOR' and a little weight loss as well. You're correct in saying the metal is 'SOFT'...mine shines up like a mirror when polished. Let me know.

Yes, definitely very cool and much lighter than steel--but just very costly, especially in a one-off scenario; and I'm unsure of the longevity of the slide after several thousand rounds with the softer metal. Sorry, we unfortunately do not work on any slides outside of Springfield and Glock at the moment. Since we're completely a CNC/CAD shop, doing one-off's is very expensive because we need to fully model the slide in CAD and then program the CNC/machining center to make the cuts; whereas perhaps a smaller shop with a manual mill can make basic cuts a lot easier with just a single slide. We're more set up for higher volume runs. Sorry my friend, wish we could help you.

Yes, we cut both front and rear factory spec dovetails standard. However, we do accommodate customer requests to leave them out (as with this example).

A bit late on the response, but it appears to be a VF2 with umbrella tool changer, it could possibly be a VF1. Hard to tell from the view angle.

Got one just like it from Harbor Freight. @@OakwoodMachineWorks

It's a Haas VF2 Vertical Machining Center (or "CNC") with a 4th Axis tombstone.

KiNggluIss !! Absolutely! We're actually finalizing the details for that model now. We expect it to be available within about 1 week for orders. We'll be announcing it on Instagram if you follow us: instagram.com/designdynamictactical/

yes I do. thank you

+Olywa17 For new replacement billet slides--we're at about 20-30 days out (backed up on orders). For factory slides sent in for Raptor One cuts, we're at about 14 days. Feel free to email me at nick@designdynamictactical.com with any further questions.

Yes, we cut all all slides from a billet of 4140 Steel (same material most barrels are made from).

Yes, we machine all of our slides starting from a billet of steel.

It's 4140 Hardened Steel.

I'm sorry, we do not make G37 slides yet. Please check out our website to see our current lineup. www.dv8tactical.com

Appreciate your perspective; however, there are two types of gun owners. Those who are satisfied with factory stock and those who want something with unique styling different from most everyone else at the range--as well as premium performance above and beyond factory stock. The latter of course comes at a premium due to higher-quality materials used, the amount of customization involved and precision CNC machining in which mass-produced factory slides cannot replicate (and be profitable due to their large production scale).

Just curious if you ever got one. If you did how do you like it??
