CZ P-01 Slide Milling

[Coffee_and_Pipes]

Does anyone have gunsmith recommendations for having a CZ P-01 slide milled for a Trijicon RMR?

My father has a P-01 that he wants to put a red dot on, and he’s tried a mount that uses the rear sight’s slot, but it hasn’t been as sturdy as he likes. He’s had to readjust the sight regularly, so he’s thinking about having the slide milled.

Before a P-07/P-09 recommendation is made, he wants to stick with the P-01 because he likes the metal frame and the ergonomics.

I’ve seen a few videos by MK3 Firearms, and it looks like they do good work. Does anyone have experience with them, or some other shop?

Usual suspects: Cajun, cz customs, primary machine.

Impact machine did this one for me.

Scott at Impact Machine does great work.

Another vote for impact machine.
I've used MK3 in the past and they do amazing work. I believe for an rmr footprint on czs they would mil it for a plate. Or atleast that's what I recall them saying several years ago when I had them work on an sp01 for me.

United R&D in NH does amazing work as well.

Thank y’all for the recommendations. I’ll pass them along to my dad and see who he goes with.

If it's for your father, send it to Cajun Gunworks for him and while they are milling the slide, have them do their full Pro package upgrade on it.
he'll be amazed at how much of a difference that makes in the way the pistol shoots and feels.

It's well worth the $450

Mine listed above has the pro package installed myself.

Lots of YouTube lol.

That trigger is very nice and feels just as well as my shadow custom.

I’ve come across mixed reviews for Cajun Gunwerks’ slide milling. I don’t know if those reviews are valid, but it had me wondering about going with their internal work followed by someone else’s slide milling.

Look into Wager Machine Works. I've used them before and have been happy.

Primary Machine fitted an RMR/SRO plate on my 75BD. The P-01 slide is exactly the same as the 75 between the back of the slide and the ejection port.

They do superb work.

The 75 and its variants (P-01, 75D PCR/compact, SP-01, SP-01 Phantom, SP-01 Shadow) all have slides that are too narrow for Trijicon optics. They need an adapter plate that whoever mills the slide also needs to make.

It doesn't answer the OP's question because Trijicon optics need an adapter plate to fit on the narrow slides based on the CZ 75 design.

True I did not even see the RMR request. I did not want an adapter plate for the width of a RMR. Just the look alone bugs me. The same thing in a 1911. RMR is too wide.

Scott just direct milled two slides for me and he was great to work with. I've sworn off chi com holosun (but I like the one that I have), so I'd look at the RMRcc. If you don't mind a plate, Joe Chambers' plate is the best option IME.

 

[kentuckyMarksman]

You can get the RMRcc cut on your P01 and not have an adapter plate.

I prefer a better optic over a more streamlined appearance.

That would be nice, but he’s already got the full-sized RMR that he’s committed to.

Understand the rear sight will be lost

 

[NHPiper]

Should be able to run a trijicon 1911 RMR plate on the rear to keep the sight and use a suppressor height front sight post.

As long as it doesn't breach the extractor pin hole

 

[NHPiper]

Exactly! The height of the plate into the slide to match a front sight post would be key.

Jealous of the project. Post a pic once it is done.

Primary Machine now offers their own plate with rear sight and will no longer mill for the Trijicon 1911 plate.

Wicked Arms milled and installed a Trijicon 1911 plate with Dawson Precision front sight on my P-01. Very pleased with the work, communication, and turn around time.

[Coffee_and_Pipes]

I figured the rear sight would be lost, but that plate that Primary offers looks pretty interesting. I’ll encourage him to go that route, and he’ll be happy to get his rear sight back.

Iron sights are unnecessary at this pojnt

Impact machine also just developed his own slide for the sp01 that will take a direct mil for the rmr footprints. I believe on his Instagram he said there will be other models in the future.

Thanks — I’ll look that up.
