I've been thinking about a project lately, but I don't have the ability to do it myself and I'm not sure where to go to get it done. Hence this post. I recently acquired a 5" 9mm Core that I just love. I've been considering sight options, and I got a Vortex Viper red dot (not sure whether I will keep that, but that is another story). I have seen some really sweet pictures of Nighthawk 1911's with special bases/plates for the RMR. I'm wondering if there is a gunsmith or custom shop I could go to that would make a special plate for my Core that has much tighter tolerances than the factory plate. I don't think the machining would be too difficult, since the stock plate is there as a base and the new plate would just be a slightly beefier model, but then again I have no experience with those things. All I'm looking for is a tighter, more precise fit that would absorb some additional stress otherwise transferred to the red dot. And yes, I'm aware that I could have just bought a Pro and had the slide milled. Due to the ever changing red dot market though, I didn't want to be stuck with a slide that would accept only one dot, which is why I bought the core.
Anyone know where I could get something like that done? See below for a picture of the 1911 I'm referencing.
