      I know it is en vogue to cut holes in things for no reason, but that just not my thing. If you want a race toy then go right ahead and lighten the daylights out of it, but like others said it's just a lint trap.

        Yeah, I see no pros to this at all. It sometimes gets sold as allowing the barrel to cool. It's not a machine gun. IMHO the barrel cut outs are a way to separate people from money they don't really need.

            Maple Leaf looks like a first rate slide milling company. I really like the duty cut package. I do prefer slides without substantial holes in the slide though.

            Though the Beretta 92 has an entirely exposed barrel and no one seems to comment about that. So it seems to me the perceived issues with an open slide may be more forum myth than anything else.

            Do you. I think the cuts in the slide are really no big deal. Not my thing, but I don't think people would be able to point to much objective proof that it's detrimental to the function of the gun.

            Are you milling it for an RDS also? Price Wager machine works for cheaper, no frills milling also.

              Really not an issue. Not s huge slide cut guy but not an issue at all.

                  What's wrong with Cheeto dust?

                    I'm not a fan of slide cuts or modifications. Why take a very reliable gun and transform it to potentially unreliable gun? Not pretty to me either in any gun design.

                              For carry? - No! For fun at the range? - Whatever floats your boat or tickles your fancy.

                              If you carry regularly and you carry it as a tool, i.e., you're not one of those guys who cleans up the carry gun every evening and makes sure it matches his nail polish, you quickly learn just how much dust and lint is around your clothes. In fact, if it weren't for the lint filter in the dryer and the carry gun after a long period of keeping it holstered, I wouldn't believe so much lint could be released from clothes, time after time after time.

                                If in a holster and you clean once a month slide cuts are no big deal on an edc (though I prefer no slide cuts)

                                Range gun I am good with gun having slide cuts
