This took 5 months of back an forth.....
It is functional now, but they have some issues.....
I would choose someone else more skilled to mill a RDS..
That's too bad you had issues. Good to hear it (eventually) got sorted.
1911s don't seem to have many options as far as plates go. We have the C&H plates, the Dawson plates and then the old Trijicon plate.
The Dawson isn't offered after the fact by Dawson or Staccato. There are a couple shops doing it after the fact but they aren't licensed as far as I know. I'm assuming it isn't rocket science but still there'd be no guarantee the machining would be true to the DPO cut.
The Trijicon plate has been around for years and is probably well proven but it is for the RMR footprint only. There is a shop out of California that's supposed to be making a retrofit 509 plate but the owner is a flake and has jacked some customers over. Extended delivery times or no delivery at all that require credit card company intervention. No thanks.
This pretty much leaves C&H as far as I can tell. True they have had some reports of crooked plates and a few other things but they also seem to own up when there are issues.
Is there anyone I'm missing? There's also a Chambers Custom plate but there are limited shops offering the machining.
