- This video is a short overview of how to cut a 1911 for a Holosun 507K.
This 1911 does not have a firing pin safety plunger so we were able to mill to full depth and use the factory front sight for a lower 1/4 co-witness.
We did not finish this slide in house. Instead, the slide was finished by one of our Preferred Cerakote Applicators in multi-cam. We will post pictures of the finished slide on our website once they are available.

I can watch precision milling like this, all day long. This video sold me - my Kahr cw45 is going under the knife at Green Tick, asap.
Once I finally manage to get ahold of a Springfield Ronin you have my business.
Nice work fella,, thats a fine piece of work..
Great video, just inquired through your website!!
Do you do milling work for STI 2011’s ?
Do you now work with the v2 holsuns
I love it great job.
So we send in our slide and you guys just get it optic ready?
You got it. Actually, since this video was posted, we’ve had a few developments.
We now have every Cerakote elite series and H series color in stock which are applied by certified Cerakote Applicators in under a week.
Additionally, we now offer Trijicon and Holosun optics in-house. If you have your own Optic, great. If not, let us know and we can get one for you for less than you’ll pay anywhere else.

I'm 100% cool with optics on a 1911 (considering sending my slide for this work... Considering...), and I'm certain there is a market. But, it's... I guess I'm saying I'm gonna get a lot of s#!t when I put one on mine. I can hear it now, "you can't put an optic on a 1911, it's sacrilege!" Lol
Looking to get my slide cut for a 407k. It’s a 4.25 1911 carry. I seen in this video the screw posts stick up for better thread engagement, but on the website it’s just showing a flat cut…how can I be sure my slide will be cut with screw hole posts and indexing boss posts…? Just trying to make sure I am able to get that cut and not just the flat cut with the 2 screw holes flush with the bottom of the optic cut…thanks!!
Good question. We have generally done away with screw post for 1911 cuts for 2 reasons. First, many 1911s have Novak iron sights which are around 6mm deep. In order to use screw post, we need to mill to a depth of around 7.5mm. This causes an issue with the top of the slide obstructing the window of the optic.
The second reason is that the hole size for different optics, even if the same make and model, can vary greatly. Too loose and it's useless, too tight and you're married to that optic for life; even if it breaks.
Recognizing this, we no longer use them on 1911s. Instead, we increased the thread depth and ALWAYS use indexing bosses. We will not cut a slide without indexing post.
Hopefully this helps.

They may be out of business. They have had my slide for 4 months and won't answer the phone.
OMG, I was planning to send them my slide.
New sub Hope to send my slide to you all really soon.
Question;
When someone has an optic cut done, your site has a Cerakote option for the slide. Is that for the whole slide being refinished or just where the milling has been done?
We Cerakote the entire slide unless it is specifically requested that we only coat the pocket.
Thanks,

@@greenticktacticalsolutions1080 I realize it was kind of a dumb question,
But as I’m sure you know you just have to make sure, the way things are nowadays!
@@greenticktacticalsolutions1080 question,
I see you offer both, what’s the difference between H series and Elite series,
And which one do I want?
@@Daddy53751 Elite Series is applied thinner and has slightly better abrasion / corrosion resistance. It has more of a slick feeling and a slight gloss. Nothing sticks to Elite Series; including other elite colors. As a result, it’s not well suited for layering or patterns. It’s generally a single color only option.
H series also has fantastic abrasion and corrosion resistance but isn’t as slick. It has a more matte appearance and can be layered for pattern work. H series also has hundreds of color options whereas Elite has less than 20.
If you’re only looking for a single color, and you like one of the elite colors, I prefer elite. If you’re looking for a more custom design or have a specific color in mind, H series may be best.
Do you offer some kind of rear sight cut for co-witnessing?
Do you do any milling work on STI 2011? It’s for a holosun 507k. Thanks!
Possibly. It’ll largely depend on what kind of rear sight you have. If you have the adjustable rear sight, the 507k is not an option for direct mount; however, the RMRCc can be.
Reach out to us when you get a chance and we can discuss available options for your slide.

Highly recommended GTTS for slide milling! Jesse helped me get my Kahr CW9 milled for a 507k and it's been amazing! Looking at getting a 1911 soon and will for sure send it in if I decide to get it cut @greenticktacticalsolutions1080
