hey guys I'm kicking around the idea of installing an RMR on my 43x and had a few questions for anyone who has actually done it. My plan is to use the Trijicon RM01 and it looks like I'll need a mounting plate to fit it on my slide. See my questions below
1. Is there a local gunsmith that can machine my slide in the everett area and if so how much would it be?
2. I have a mill and could potentially machine it myself. If i do that, how deep do you cut the slide and when you drill the holes for the mounting plate, do you drill all the way through or just blind tap them?
I'm only interested in hearing from people that have had this work done and can take some measurements or from gunsmiths that have done this work. Not interested is anyones opinion on whether or not to use a red dot or which one to use.
Thanks in advance
