Who cares, buy one!! They are the only ones who know how to make a Glock look sexy!! A gun store near my office sells them and had a G22 all Zev'd out. It looked great and the trigger was pretty sweet too!
Brandon had shot both set ups a lot and told me the sight recovery was better/faster on the standard dust cover. The Butler cut will add quite a bit of weight because it's on a Bianchi width frame as well.
I had one with and one without. Although it was another step in disassembly and another screw to check for tightness, I wouldn't want an open gun without one.
One of my co-workers has several of them and is good friends with Dave. They run. Period. But for me, the triggers are too heavy and I prefer adjustable sights. So, IMHO, they are great carry guns, not so great competition guns.
Wilson has one on sale for $42. I ordered it yesterday. Thanks for the replies.
I think you will really like it. Mine works for both single and double stack pistols.
Yeah, it's not meant to work. I've accidentally loaded 9mm into a 38SC open gun when I was doing a demo. The gun fired, but wouldn't run.
To the OP, go with a 9mm if you have a really good smith as the 1911 platform can be tricky with short ammo. I have one widebody 9mm and it's the most fun to shoot of all my guns.
The Texas DPS pistol team is having tryouts next month and I'm thinking about giving it a try. Shooting is shooting right? And getting to shoot Department ammo on the clock would be even better.
I've never shot a PPC match and really have no idea what it's all about. I glanced at the rules this morning and it seems if I increased the trigger pull on my 6" limited pistol, it would be legal for Open.
Have any of you shot PPC? If so, did you like it?
