I am a couple of hours north of you, but have the best prices in the country.

You have On Target II in Lake City, Michigan and On Target in Kalamazoo.

I know there has to be someone good closer to you but I do not know of any still in business that I trust in your area.

You should be able to just ship the slide without the frame. The slide by itself can be sent through the U.S. mail or a common carrier like UPS or FedEx using the much less expensive ground shipping.

I use UPS to ship to Trijicon. Better tracking. Turnaround for my last job, to relamp one slide and install new sights on another, was 10 days door to door.

ETA: Just ship the slide as Bronson said.

yea i have talked with trijicon's customers service they informed me to send the slide only for the reason that is not considered a firearm as far as shipping is concered they also said that it would very likely be in and out in the same day they receive it very profesional over the phone at this point i would reccomend them to anyone, thanks for the input
