Hey will you update the sub with what happens next I’m really interested to hear how this gets resolved?

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

It was the striking / fire pin plastic liners all these gun smith clowns were wrong

[-]

mildlymisrable@reddit

Glad it’s resolved, still the worst optic cut I have ever seen but I’m happy your guns in working order now👌🫡

[-]

DashMcGee@reddit

Dude... it's upside down. It won't work that way.

[-]

Who the hell will cut your slide for an optic? They have bare minimum owe you a new slide and a refund. Also, why would you get optic cut for such a cheap gun? Also, that optic cut looked like it was done by a Helen Keller with zero machining knowledge. Did you actually pay for that to be done??? It looks like garbage.

[-]

IFeedDogsChocolate@reddit

Not to kick you while you're down or rub salt in the wound, but you got fucked by whoever did that work to your slide.

I would see what they can do about it, but I'd consider that bridge burned regardless of the outcome. They straight raw dawg'd that and sent you on your way.

[-]

Redhaze_17@reddit

Refund

[-]

IFeedDogsChocolate@reddit

Even then, consider it the last transaction with them.

There's no way they operated on good faith to give OP that to begin with.

[-]

mildlymisrable@reddit

Agreed

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

Thanks hoping they Come through with a new slide and refund

[-]

mildlymisrable@reddit

I mean I’m not trying to bash anyone or take anyone’s income away but if they don’t make it right for you then you should absolutely let people know exactly what shop did this so others can avoid it. Obviously you know because everyone is telling you but they really did a piss poor job.

[-]

mildlymisrable@reddit

Agreed

My first thought is not the slide but the trigger or sear springs. It seems that the trigger is failing to reset or the sear isn’t catching the striker. I’d also recommend taking out the striker/firing pin to check for debris and make sure nothing is damaged. If you have the knowledge I’d also disassemble everything off of the slide and check for debris and damage.

abuttfartsinthewoods@reddit

I see what the problem is.

Sonny you have a plastic crap. Get a 1911.

TIL Temu does optic cuts

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

What is it?

[-]

protogenxl@reddit

high-speed rubbing with excessive tool deflection

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

What should I say to the shop tmr?

[-]

JackCooper_7274@reddit

"yo dawg what the fuck is this?"

[-]

protogenxl@reddit

This work is unacceptable

get a bunch of optic cut images off Google image search

[-]

SplashingChicken@reddit

Jesus, that's gnarly. Looks like it was done with a Dremel and Walmart power drill.

[-]

ej1030@reddit

Im a machinist, finishes like this make me cry

[-]

Sal-LeMandeur@reddit

It's not bad for steel, just lazy to not finish the entire base with the smaller end mill though and/or do relief under the recoil lugs. Finishing that surface with what looks like a plunger into cut is surely a choice as well.

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

What should I say to the shop tmr?

[-]

eggiam@reddit

"My gun no longer functions due to your terrible job."

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

The reputable shops' normal cut fee is more than half the street price of an SD9 2.0, so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't support it.

In short, Bubba.

StrikeEagle784@reddit

Bubba strikes again lol

LiesofC@reddit

Damn son

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

Fixed it - striker liners were out of wack some how. Sanded firing pin a bit runs great.

[-]

OneManGang2001@reddit

Is that an oem trigger? When was it put in if not?

[-]

urticate@reddit

Show your “gun guy” this post and these comments. Let him decide what he should do to make it right…

[-]

Sal-LeMandeur@reddit

So I was thinking about this - the optic cut may be deep enough that tool pressure sunk-in the hole for your striker channel. Certainly plunging a 1/2" end mill into the middle didn't help.

Take off the back of the slide, feel with a pick inside that channel for bumps. Find a bump: use the back of a drill to fill the channel, raising the bump into your optic cut. Then, gently and evenly file until flat on the optic cut

[-]

286893@reddit

Dang bro, feet for free?

[-]

Jackson3rg@reddit

Is op sitting on the toilet doing this?

[-]

IKIR115@reddit

Would you expect anywhere else?

[-]

Much_Juggernaut_4631@reddit

Ah, I see the problem. You see, long ago Ford started practicing identifying the issue, by circling it. As we see here, you have a Smith & Wesson, also... circled.

[-]

National_Army1783@reddit

Smith & Wessons are good guns… it’s also not the guns fault, the fault is clearly whoever did his optic cut.

[-]

eggiam@reddit

Did it do it before the optic cut? Seems like the striker block is seizing maybe. Can you strip the slide and share photos?

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

Never before the otpic cut

[-]

eggiam@reddit

yeah strip the slide and post some pics of the top and underside

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

[-]

eggiam@reddit

you need to take all the parts of of the slide so we can see.

but that looks like the shittiest cut ever. Did they do it by hand??

[-]

Historical_Truth2578@reddit

They did it with a Katana lmao

[-]

f250suite@reddit

Nah, they use teeth

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

What can I do?

[-]

Historical_Truth2578@reddit

Im....really not sure bro, ive never seen anything like this, how much did you pay for the gun and the cut

I would assume whoever did the drilling drilled into something they weren't supposed to

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

I’ll take it back to them tmr I paid $125 from a gun shop

[-]

PonyThug@reddit

Why in the world would you pay $40 more than eager machine works charges for the best milling in the industry lolololololol

[-]

SpiritCrusher421@reddit

The dude probably didn’t know any better

[-]

PonyThug@reddit

Well yea obviously. You would think you would do like 30 -60 mins of research about it on reddit before picking a service. Especially since he was quick to post here for help after there is an issue

[-]

SpiritCrusher421@reddit

“You would think”

Come on now lol

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

These guys were local and 3 day turnaround time I like my shit quick I’ll just buy another guy the M and P 2.0 decent?

[-]

PonyThug@reddit

So now you’re going to buy a full new gun because you couldn’t wait a bit? Just buy a second slide at that point.

[-]

Historical_Truth2578@reddit

Yes just buy an optic ready MP and leave it alone

[-]

jwalk999@reddit

Dawg they owe you a new gun and then some.

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

I can see the bottom of the drill holes it just shows steep

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

Here

[-]

EndlessSummerburn@reddit

Damn son

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

But I removed

[-]

Hakashi57@reddit

You have to disassemble the slide components, what they want you to do, so you can inspect under the slide cut, if there's any damage.

Here's a disassembly video on the 509, slide disassembly starts at the 41:00 min mark:

[-]

IntenseSpirit@reddit

Does it cycle with the optic off?

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

No

[-]

IntenseSpirit@reddit

That's not good. They definitely drilled into something important. I'd put my money on the safety plunger channel.

My first recommendation is to Karen the hell out of the place that butchered your gun and get them to replace it.

But if you don't want to do that, you'll need to do a complete slide disassembly and find out where those holes poke out. Then remove any metal burrs left in there, replace any parts that got drilled into, then reassemble and test again.

You'll probably have to shave down your optic screws too, so they don't thread into any moving parts.

[-]

giarcnoskcaj@reddit

Looks like they plugged where the safety plunger and spring are supposed to go.

[-]

gunsforevery1@reddit

Why would you get an optic cut on such a piece of shit pistol?

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

I got fun money

[-]

PhysicalRepublic6767@reddit (OP)

It’s that bad 😂
