    I decided to give the whole " I feel like cutting up a perfectly good Glock" thing a shot. It was pretty difficult to try and think of something that would push some limits, look good, function properly, and not look like everyone else's stuff. I was able to come up with a cut geometry that matched the grip angle and didn't compromise the slide integrity. A couple of opposing intersecting cuts on the front and leaving some slightly obtuse raised sections to grip. The rear serrations are to the matching angles and go from 0.001" in depth to 0.035" deep and are stepped in 0.100" increments. I was contemplating doing some lightning cuts/ports in the top and sides but may decide to only do some ball mill cuts to lighten it up for balance. I'll post more pics as it progresses.

    Those front serrations are interesting.

    I personally would have milled them further back, close to the front of the barrel hood.

    I was thinking of adding some lightning cuts or maybe a ball mill cut with my logo, or something like that. Still thinking on what to do there. It's the same on both sides, so what ever it is I'm going to mirror it on the other side.

    The reason I would push them further back, and have lightening cuts further forward, is because the closer you are to the muzzle the hotter the slide becomes. From a manipulation and safety perspective, it's better to index the slide near the front of ejection port rather than near the muzzle.

    That makes sense.

    Decided to Cerakoat it on black for now. I plan on doing a battle worn Cerakoat job in black and FDE after I put a 300 or 400 rounds thru it. To be sure I don't want to do anything else to it. The grip Stippling is super aggressive and really random (which is what I was going for orrigionally). I believe it will look much better with the other finish on it. I'll post more pics when the other paint scheme is on it.
