Custom Hi-Capa 5.1 Slide/Cocking Handle Issues

Alright, so I tried searching this issue, but I couldn't find it specifically, so I figured what the hell.

I've had this slide on my Hi-Capa for a while now, but I recently lost the rear sight. Since it already has a holosight and rail kit, I decided to go for a cocking handle.

The problem I'm having is this. It doesn't seems as though the cocking handle set will not fit into the slide at all. It looks as though I would have to dremel out most of the upper-rear section of the slide (the section directly above the rear portion of the blowback housing, a few millimeters behind the screw hole). Do I actually have to dremel it out? Or is there another solution? The cocking handle I have is this one.

Thanks in advance!

Don't ever modify your slide. Modify the part you're putting in. If you make a mistake, it will be a lot less to replace and you still have a working gun.

+1 to Styrak's advice.

There is ALWAYS another solution... sometimes it's more expensive, sometimes it's less. Sometimes it's more difficult to do, sometimes it's easier. You'll need to weigh the cons of your options, but 99% of the time, I would rather modify the part than the slide so that if you ever decide to put rear sights back in (or another cocking handle), you're still able to.
