So tonight's project was a wild one....
Had a customer request machining for a direct fit SRO on a Staccatto slide. Problem is, like most 1911's and their cousins- the slide isn't wide enough to handle the screw spacing for the RMR footprint. The solution is an RMR mounting plate- so no big deal.
That's where the plot thickens.
The customer provided us a RMR Staccatto mounting plate- but it was for an optics ready slide. Now Staccato will gladly machine your slide to upgrade it to their optics ready platform- but its over $600 for the service. Even worse, this would work for a regular RMR with the plate the customer provided, but it would not work with the SRO because the front of the optic overhangs the footprint. Of course Staccatto can sell you the SRO compatible plate- but thats another couple hundred bucks to spend.
Our solution was to modify the plate the customer provided and then machine the slide to accept it. Now this gun will have a one of a kind look and the SRO looks perfect.👌
Basically its a smaller version of the Staccato optics ready platform- and it will accept an SRO or standard RMR optic with no additional plates required.
Really hope the owner loves shooting it as much as we loved working on it!
Let us know what you think of this truly custom slide!
