Custodian recs for physical silver in an IRA?

Alright, so I’ve been looking to add significantly to my physical silver allocation within my IRA – thinking another 2,500-3,000 ounces initially, probably in 100oz bars. My current Gold IRA custodian for my PMs has been... fine, I suppose, for the gold. But for silver, especially the bulk I’m looking at now, I’m wondering if there are better options out there. The fees feel a little steeper than they should be, and while their storage is secure, I don't get the warm fuzzies like I do with some of my other asset managers. I mean, my entire PM allocation is probably 10% of my portfolio right now at around $300k-$400k (mostly gold), but I want to grow the silver side substantially.

I’m based in Greenwich, obviously, and work in finance, so I appreciate efficiency and transparency. I’m thinking about scaling up my total silver holdings to eventually match my gold exposure, maybe another $200k-$300k over the next year or two. I generally prefer segregated storage, even if it costs a bit more. The peace of mind is worth it, especially after seeing how quickly market sentiment can shift. I’ve heard horror stories about commingled storage during chaotic periods, and frankly, I'm not looking to be part of one of those.

For those of you with significant physical silver in your IRAs, who are you using for custodianship? What are their fee structures like, particularly for bulk silver? Are there any hidden charges I should be aware of? And more importantly, how accessible is your metal if you ever wanted to take a distribution in kind? That’s a big one for me – I want to know it's my silver, and that I can actually get my hands on it if the world goes sideways.

Any and all personal experiences, whether good or bad, would be incredibly helpful. Are there smaller, boutique firms that offer a more personalized service, or should I just stick with the larger, more established players? I'm open to exploring options beyond the usual suspects. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights.
