a 6 inch factory feels heavy. the 6 inch with the slide lightened feels like a totally different gun. I had a stock eagle that would wobble almost when shot. Had bobby tri top it, do a "hi-power" cut and gills to take weight out of the nose and the tri-top to lighten the whole thing up. Feels like a different gun. If you try/feel a 6 inc feel a lighened 6inch
