I need recommendation for someone to lower my ejection port, and machine the slide and install a good adjustable rear sight and appropriate front sight.

Hi NuJudge: Welcome to the forum. Can help a bit with the port lowering, but need to know if you have a drill press and the manufacturer of the slide.
Will leave the sight business to somebody who knows more than I do.
Get back with us. Cheers
P.S.: Hang loose - are you looking for a gunsmith to do it for you? If so, your approximate location would be helpful.

Welcome to the forum.
I've had work done here,

and it's been extremely satisfactory.

Given that the work is all on the slide shipping will be as easy as it ever gets. Depending on the sight preferred the sight maker is likely to be a first rate choice for installation. Turn around time MAY be quicker from somebody setup to do sights on a production line than the turnaround from an artist who does full house guns.
For quality work combined with reasonable turnaround EGW should be as good as any and better than some.
There may well be somebody close to you but I wouldn't know where that is.

I'd like to be able to shoot indoor bullseye with it. I've shot it a lot at bowling pins.
The pistol shoots well and reliably, particularly with 185 and 200gr wadcutters. No problems except crud builds up in the extractor tunnel, the pistol scrapes brass across the bottom of the ejection port leaving a mark on it, and the group on a Bullseye is sometimes not quite where I want it.
I believe I would like the slide machined to lower the port and a low-installed BoMar or something similar installed.
It would be handy if a gunsmith could do this nearby. Any suggestions?
