Some of the slides are manufactured from blanks made by Sig.

 

what does that mean exactly? They get their steel blocks from sig? Or they get an internally pre-milled slides?

 

Just want to add, I plan on doing some due dilligence by shooting at least 100 rounds of my carry ammo, and at least another 300 rounds of FMJ before actually carrying it.

 

I subscribe to the rule of thorough testing before trusting a gun or aftermarket component for defensive use, and your testing will tell you if it's good to go.

An aftermarket slide will not put your gun at risk of a non-commanded discharge.

This isn't the cheap Chinese knock off you see on The Home Shopping Channel. This is more along the lines of the one's you find on Gun Broker.

Operators are standing by.

 

Any mechanical device can fail.

What assurances can anyone offer you other than it is a very low probability?

 

If you have doubts then why buy an aftermarket part?

 

 

As long as the gun with new slide, functions how it supposed to & it has no problem with a couple hundred rounds of good range ammo & whatever your home protection ammo is, you’ll be fine.

 

How does one know when they have done sufficient testing?

 

If the gun has no hiccups after 300 rounds (200 range good ammo/100 JHP), then I’ll trust it for Home protection.

 

Use that slide. Test it. Confirm it's reliable. Take a local CCW SD NRA course. Understand your duties and when to utilize that firearm in a legally defensible manner.































































It's why you used that CCW gun and was it legal in your region.

 

Courses taken 👍😎

 

I personally try to keep my CCW guns as stock as possible. Should you ever find yourself in court, you don’t want some over zealous, anti 2A prosecutor claiming you modified you gun to make it better for “Killing”.

Just my .02.

Here in Florida the only concern is whether or not a shooting is legally justified or not, and modifications made to the firearm used in self defense are of no consequence if the use of deadly force is necessary under the statutes.

There is one important caveat, in the unfortunate event you need to use your firearm in self defense, never say things like "I didn't want to shoot him" "the gun just went off " or any other such implication that your firing of the gun wasn't an intentional act, because prosecutors and civil attorneys will jump on that as an admission that you didn't believe the situation justified the use of deadly force, or that the shooting was accidental, making you criminally responsible as well as liable to civil suit for negligence.

 

OP - if you are that concerned, I question why would you do it, for a carry gun? It's not something I would do for a carry personally (but that's me).

 

I had a stock p365. I am upgrading to an xl with an optic cut. It is cheaper than the ones sig offers. Besides the optic cut I need the longer slide to fit on an x macro grip, because that grip gives me 100% full purchase.

 

I guess maybe I didn't understand.

 

My personal policy is to keep my carry weapons almost completely stock

• Stock weapons have generally been tested by the manufacturers, much, much longer and more thoroughly than most of us have the time, money, ammo, and/or equipment to do so.
• If you actually use your weapon in self-defense it will likely be taken into evidence, inspected and kept as evidence in case charges are filed.
• After market parts are rarely tested as long or as thoroughly as the same parts would have been tested by the factory. I have seen many after market parts that were really just tested by the end users.
• I would not wish to give anyone the chance to claim that my EDC was somehow altered to make it more dangerous or less safe. Lawyers are in my experience are on average amoral, doing whatever it takes to win.

I reserve my hot-rodded firearm toys for the range and not the street...

 

My carry guns are stock, just like my old duty weapon. I don't want to try to explain to a jury of my peers ( which will not be my peers, i.e. a bunch of retired cops), why I needed to alter my gun into a killing machine. Lawyers will take any advantage to sway a jury and once something is heard, it can't be unheard.

 

Since you are using sig internals, I’d not worry about the aftermarket slide failing. Unless the slide is significantly heavier, it would cycle the rounds just fine.

 

I'm not against after market stuff for a carry gun, but I'd reconsider the compensater on a carry gun. That's a feeding issue waiting to happen. They are good for competition, not so much for carry imo.

 

Another retired cop here busy clicking likes for keeping a carry gun stock. BTW, being "legally justified" has absolutely nothing to do with the follow on trauma of a civil lawsuit that will eat up a lifetime of savings.

As a FA instructor in a department and police academy I've had to testify in court, civil and criminal pertaining to shootings. It is not a place to be.

A survey of shooters who recommend weapon modification and who also have experience in the justice system involving use of force shootings would be very short indeed.

I am not worried about any kind of unjustified shooting. Just more concerned with the gun going off in my pants because the slide isnt milled correctly to hold the internals in the EXACT spot they need to be to have the safeties work correctly.

 

For CCW or EDC, I keep mine as stock as possible. No need to be taking risks that might cause problems later on when I truly need the Gun to be reliable.

Now as for my competition guns, they’re all modified with trigger pull weights as low as 1#.

 

As long as it’s through a dependable company and you’ve ran it enough that you’re confident in its function with your carry ammo then go for it.

 

Welcome to ST.

You have been shooting for two years. What, exactly, are you trying to "improve" by using an aftermarket slide?

 

Thanks man, going from regular 365 no optic cut, to XL with optic cut. aftermarket slide is cheaper than sigs XL. I'm always trying to improve my shooting in general. But I really just wanted a longer slide with optic cut, since I am blind in one eye, and have found that a red dot makes it way better for me.

 

This modified guns BS gets so old to me. Aftermarket parts "can" be a huge benefit. Not all guns are good for everybody right out of the box. Some might want better sites, or grips, and there are very few mid-range firearms that don't need some sort of trigger work. Many manufacturers including Sig Sauer go back to the aftermarket to upgrade their own products. The idea that some government agency or lawyers are going to fast rope out of a helicopter when you're involved in a shooting with a modified gun is ridiculous! If you don't have the skills don't do it, if you don't have the money don't do it, if you don't trust what the end result will be don't do it! If you have the means and or the money to make the gun more comfortable/reliable / accurate, then what's the downside? All the hyperbole around this subject is ridiculous and unfounded! 👽
