    And you're basing this on...what?  

    I have all (brand)steel grip available on market in my possession. 

    SV is definitely #1

    but for sure  Cheely is beter then EVO

    Another option, though not sure if it's less expensive, is to have the barrel you have cut to 14.5" and rethreaded for the comp you have.

    14.5 doesent work with Cobalt Kinetics handguard.

    we wait in next 2-3 week new 13 inch handguard.

    im thinking to cut barrel on 15 and put new tread

    Akai Custom

    Trying to make my final decision on a limited gun and I am looking hard at Akai. Had the chance to shoot a 6 inch akai with a pelican barrel and liked it. Anyone here have any experience with Akai they can share? Also looking at Atlas and CK arms. Thanks

    Try Eddie Garcia EMG Customs
    Eddie is active shooter , his guns is amazing...
    Look this new slide

    Limcat vs SV

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I bought two .40  Limited Trusight Limcats a few years ago and then ordered another two 2 years later (wanted to have 4 identical pieces, but the second pair was the newer tungsten sleeved version).
    What the two batches had in common was that one pistol in each batch run OK, and the other not -. there were clear fitting issues that persisted after a 20-30 thousand rounds, I took it to a gunsmith once for a different reason and he pointed out (and corrected it on a CNC machine) that a sleve on the barrel was not properly - gradually-  sloped down to smooth the edge.  I still dont know why the other "bad" pistol runs erratic, used it for practice only.

    The two newer Limcats had slides so loose right from the shop, that if you shook the gun in your hand you hear rattling sound (!).  Admittedly the feeding was OK (with the good gun) right from the beginning for a wide range of ammo (lenght), which is not always true for supertight guns.  I thought it was a  feature, until I went to the Limcat stand at the Florida Worldshoot and checked out the displayed guns. Tight as a virgin. Or a swiss vault, if you prefer.  That made me feel a bit stupid, but the Limcats were quite accurate so perhaps the tightnes in the display guns is for the ignorant, who are being told everywhere that tight guns are better. Don't know...

    After about 35K rounds the slide cracked on the newer Limcat a few weeks ago. Tritopping makes the slide very thin and weak.

    The biggest disappointment were the "tuned' mags from Limcat which are my only mags (I own about 25) that malfunction with every gun, but especially... with the Limcats. Changed the spring etc., no change - I cant even figure out why are they so bad (and expensive).

    Living in Europe makes any repairs/guarantee a virtually non-existing option.

     

    I never owned an SVI, but had one on order, that I cancelled after 1.5 years of wait. During that time I witnessed 6 different SVI owners have problems with their guns, mainly things breaking prematuraly.  In fact, I yet have to meet an unsponsored SVI shooter who did not (admit to) have problems with the gun after 5-7-15 K rounds. Of course its a limited sample, but It convinced me not to want one.  One thing that SVI does great is the trigger job, though - its beyond real.

    I have another 4 pistols (2+2) made by 2 different European gunsmiths. One is an engineer and only makes guns as a hobby, for friends - he came highly recommended and so far the guns run great (but they dont have lightened slides like my all other guns, and none has more than 25K rounds). The other two custom guns had slight fitting issues (too tight) and recently slide cracked in an unusual place followed by a 5 cm long crack in the barrel... I still need to figure this one out..

     

    I get really surprised when I see people posting praises about this and that custom gun. My guess is that they dont shoot much and with a couple of thousand rounds per year you surely wont experience problems for long time. If you shoot 50 thousand a year you need a truly reliable gun, thats why you pay extra for custom.  These guns just dont deliver this, perhaps except for a few display pieces and guns made specifically for the few sponsored shooter.

    Yeah they are nice. My main decision came down to being able to do what I want to pistol rather than having one design. For the amount of money these pistols cost that's what made my mind up on SV plus the quality and service Sv has. 

    That's a point !!! You can do with your money anything you want in LimCat custom or SV. You can play and ask anything you want beacouse you pay for full custom gun.

    Quality is same!!!

    I bee tomorow with JJ in his store and I bring my Infinitys to make a video about quality!

    SVI everything is super tight from day 1 and day 50k, Limcat has a bit of movement, but it stays the same.

     

    That's super tight help me to win World Shoot? Nationals?

    SV or LimCat is personal choice ... both gun have a same quality,this new line LimCat which JJ have in a store is amazing!!!

    Brand New STI EDGE, is this what $2200 pays for?

    I have been wanting and saving for this pistol for a long time.

    I have a Sig 1911 tacops that cost $950 and a bunch of Glocks and the fit and finish look 100 times better than this "hand fitted" pistol.

    The Sig and Glocks look like they where made with the best CNC machines on earth and this STI looks like... it was made by a drunk guy by hand.

    The gun has not been shot.

    frame rattles on the slide

    nicks in the slide

    very rough chamber (you can feel the rings with a WOOD TOOTHPICK!)

    ring groves in the slide and one on the frame end.

    Its hard to take pictures of, but all the groves you can feel with your fingernail

    Click on First picture it is a video, turn the sound up.
