If you'd like to prove me wrong about the Glock slide, just put yours in a mill and cut through the Tenifer, and have it Rockwelled.


You made the statement about pot metal and yet you say you're not a materials engineer. Machining thru the Tenifer finish is hard on tooling as it's approximately HRC 65, and that is why not many will do it. As for knowing someone who knows somebody who knows someone's cousin who can make things work, it's easy to do on the net. Check out Hilton Yam's machining he has had done on his Glocks. I know, I know, not your hero Bill Rogers.
