Milled gun slides are distinctive, giving your gun a unique look that can be recognized from a distance. At Shalo Tek, we offer a wide range of milling designs, and we’ve got something new in the works nearly all the time. But what exactly is slide milling and what are the benefits of milled gun slides? Let’s take a closer look.
Gun slide milling is a custom service that mills the slide of your gun into pre-made designs and cuts. If you already have a gun slide, you can ship it to us and we’ll prepare your custom designed slide and ship it back to you. If you don’t already have a slide, you can purchase a custom pre-made slide with milled designs and cuts, and we’ll ship it to you. Most milled gun slides on our site have options for both. Simply select your preferred option before adding to cart.
The process of slide milling has several benefits. It can help with decreasing the weight of your firearm for better performance and aim. It also provides better recoil recovery. For this reason, milled slides are often seen at professional firearm competitions.
The design is also a big benefit as interesting, custom designs are available, including ported holes. Many people have multiple milled slides that can be switched out and used according to preference.
When it comes to slide milling, having a design you love looking at is what it’s all about. Some of the most popular designs are the Fury Slide for the Sig Sauer P365, the Sentinel Slide for the Sig Sauer PX365XL, and the LAW Slide for the Glock 19.
