Our Process

How a Porting Job Gets Done

Porting is precision work. Every step is deliberate — this isn't a job you rush.

01

Consultation

Talk through your platform, your goals, and which package fits. We confirm port placement and window cut size up front.

02

Inspection & Layout

Slide and barrel inspected for thickness, then precise reference marks laid out before the laser touches anything.

03

Laser Porting & Cutting

Window cuts and ports cut with our fiber laser. Clean edges, consistent depth, no damage to surrounding steel.

04

Cerakote & Reassembly

Slide refinished in single-color Cerakote, reassembled, and function-tested before pickup or insured return shipping.
