New slide build - ShaloTek P365XC Sentinel RMSC Pistol Slide

I've been looking at this slide on the Shalotek web page for the past 6-9 months. It then appeared on Optics Planet at a slightly reduced price, so I jumped on it. After ordering I received a wait time of 2 months email. One month later I received an update that the slide was shipped. Fantastic! This would be my first build, so I needed to obtain not only the slide internals and optics, but also some tools. This was a somewhat expensive learning process. For example, I purchased a sight pusher tha1 only worked for the rear sight, the M carbo tungsten striker kit did not fit because the slide does not have the hole found in p365 gen 1 slides, and the Sig roll pin would not compress so I had to purchase others off Amazon. Overall, I am happy with the result. Now, I have to go to the range to see if the expense was for performance or looks.
