Just for reference, this is how a standard ejection port would handle a .50

I also had a custom ejection port made for it

In the closed position it lets you know whats coming:

Some of you may not know what this means but for those that do.... Once the door drops we go straight to "11"

WOW! That's pretty cool.

What optic is that? I've seen it a few times but don't recall what it is.

That uneven ejection port is tormenting me. It haunts my dreams.......lol

Thanks guys for the kind words.

It drove me nuts that we didn't go across all the way on that ejection port but I chickened out not wanting to go past it. To his defense, my neighbor the machinist, said I got this but I shut him down. And for the record, I did regret not going all the way for about a week or two. BUT, I'd rather be short than have an ocean of waves like some of the dremel jobs I've seen.

As far as wrecking a VIS-!... my brother said the same thing! lol My response is, It's not wrecked till I bring you back two pieces.

And finally, the optic... It's a Holosun 503GU and is holding up very well. These things are built pretty good.

About the ejection port, I wouldn't even worry about it. Some super high end 1911's have a similar cut to facilitate the ejection of live rounds.

So yeah, if people give you crap then just tell them that. [:D]

I'll bet that SOB is LOUD!

I shot some big caliber pistols and you could feel the concussion from 10 yards behind the shooter.
