SPRINGFIELD TRP FDE 1911 4.25” REVIEW 

I wonder if changing the slide weight effected the reliability.

Who milled the slide for you? Do you have some contact info?

Honestly, the guy that wants to buy an upscale single stack 1911 doesn’t want an optic. And the reason for that is because nine times out of ten, they’re 1911 purists, they’re old school. They don’t believe optic cuts should go on a single stack 1911. If you want an optics cut, get a 2011.

Did you need to have your slide re-coated after the optic cut?

Now everybody wants optics on thejr handguns, next they'll ask for heat seeking bullets!

That optic is gi-hugic. Still, good on you for getting what you wanted done.
