Primary Machine P-07 Slide Milling-How Much Will It Lighten It??
« on: February 17, 2018, 04:28:24 PM »
I'm sure Raining Brass can answer this but I thought maybe some of you can chime in here.  For the slide milling options (non-optic related), how much weight would it take out of the slide on a P-07?

I'm just wondering if there would be a noticeable difference in weight as far as concealed carry goes.

Thanks,
Winkel

Mine will be milled w/ an optic cut, but I can measure it when I receive it next week. I got the Pit Viper V2. I don't think it will be noticeable in terms of carry. The gun is pretty light already. Your ammo weighs more.

Between the weight removed from milling then adding the optic, you will never, ever notice the weight difference.

For weight savings, carry less ammo, use one of the 10 round magazine  I would assume there is very little extra meat in these slides.
