Scott in OK Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 That is the problem with "trying an open gun". As soon as you do, you will want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Season is wrapping up, lots of good deals will be popping up on the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acsr Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Before trying and now owning one I see why they call it the dark side. Enjoy the new toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teros135 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 That's the problem with them. Addiction. No cure except more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceMan Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Ive been tossing around the idea for a few months, but I have a few guns that are ahead of it on the list. Edited October 5, 2016 by SpaceMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterDrew Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I just got my first open gun this week. Put a few hundred rounds through already and eagerly waiting to shoot my first match with it on Sunday. It's awesome! I'm coming from single Stack and production, so the fact that I can shoot some stages without reload and all with at most 1 is blowing my mind hahaSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NOTHING Ahead of an OPEN gun ... (Didn't think I'd EVER get to use That emoticon). Once I bought my Open Gun, there was No Other Gun --- too much FUN.

AKJD Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Same thing happened to me. I built a open Glock and shot minor with it for a year and it just wasn't cutting it. This CK Arms arrived from Shooters Connection last week, shot it today for the first time and love it. Edited October 6, 2016 by AKJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHitchcock Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 You will love your CK. Just finished dialing in/chrono'ing my new load today. Shoots amazingly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHitchcock Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Open nationals is this weekend. Watch the classifieds over the next month, I'm sure there will be a lot coming up as people have new builds over the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathForbis Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Same here. Tried an open gun a few years ago and never went back. I love optics over iron. Even put a optic on my carry gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightfighter363 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Get a custom. don't get a DVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blammo Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Why no DVC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge40 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yea I've been warned about open. Basically don't try it until you want to go there for sure. I thought limited was a big step... open is a whole other adventure as far as equipment and loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already has a lot of what you are going to 'fix' on the DVC (trigger parts, mag well, etc), and has a better fit/finish. Also, the CK will run from the factory, the STI might take some massaging to get there. Several threads regarding the DVC open guns on here if you search. My biggest concern includes slides cracking between the front lightening port and the comp w/ sti refusing to fix under warranty. To each his own though, some people got great running DVC open pistols and haven't had problems as of yet.

I have seen several crack and sti has replaced the slide and in one case replaced the entire gun. Their quality control might be lacking a bit but they seem to stand behind it.

MHitchcock Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I seem to recall one case more recently where they were told it wouldn't be covered. My memory may be playing tricks on me and I apologize if that's the case. I'll see if I can find it. . . In any event, their turn around time for fixing that is months...so even if they stand behind it, why would you spend that kind of money knowing there is a good chance that slide crack will happen? Then you get to be without your expensive open pistol for months. And if what they send back is the same cut, you run the same chance of having it happen again. If it was my $$$, that has to be a consideration in purchase. Hence my suggestion to get a CK or a used custom pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
