Well, by no means am in a GM status. But last year between practice, matches and work, I shot just over 19k rounds through a Glock. Other than those shooting production, about how many GM's shoot Glocks over a 2011?

It comes with full power springs, the Wolff are reduced power. Makes for a lighter trigger pull.

It works, all safeties are fully functional.

After years of putting up with a mediocre trigger in my Glocks, I have finally found what I consider the absolute best on the market today. After spending hundreds of dollars on the big name aftermarket triggers, I have come to my final resting spot. It's the Arsenal Democracy "Switch" trigger. It came with a tuned and highly polished trigger bar, connector, ejector block and striker safety plunger. I went ahead and swapped the springs that came with it with Wolff competition spring kit. It instantly turned the mushy trigger I had gotten used to into a trigger better than in most factory 1911's. I know what most of you are thinking and I would have thought the same thing if I weren't holding it in my own hand. It has zero take up and to say it had an 1/8" of creep would be exaggerating. Just enough to allow the safety to be functional. It breaks as clean as my 2011 with almost no over travel. You will have to shoot a couple of hundred rounds through it to get used to it, it breaks that clean. According to my trigger pull gauge, it was breaking right around 2.75#. I'm not going to bash anyone's product, but it made all the other big name triggers seem like a stock Glock trigger when comparing them. It was well worth the money and then some.

Anyone tried reshaping a plastic STI grip to feel more like the SVI signature grip? Is the only difference the grip safety? If so, couldn't you use the SVI signature grip safety and blend the grip the match it. Or is there something different on the signature grip that allows the grip safety to pivot more? Just a thought.

I have somewhat small hands. I decided to go with the SVI signature grip on my new 2011. It is quite a bit heavier. As for recoil, there's not that much difference to me. But as far as feel and comfort, it's worth every penny.

I use bayou's for practice and never had any leading issues. Try Xtreme bullets, they group a little better out of my glocks and both my 2011's.

I went to a Law Enforcement only pistol match recently. It states I the rules that you must use duty "type" guns. I had started building a 9mm 2011 myself in January, my first attempt to build anything. I was literally working out some of my screw ups at 10:30 the night before the match. There is absolutely nothing special about this gun, it's all off the shelf parts. Before we even start, the match director comes to me because some of the other guys are complaining about my gun, saying its a competition gun. I had to explain to him that the 2011 is used by several law enforcement officers including several Swat Teams. Most of the other guys are shooting glocks, but not thier duty glocks. One guy was shooting a gun he had sent to Wilson Combat to be customized, but no one complained about his gun. I was ultimately allowed to use my gun and won the match. It sucks that people complain about the gun someone is using and use that as an excuse for not winning. Man up and practice more than once a year. If it requires a mag change from a glock to clear the plate rack at 15 yards, it may be the Indian not the bow.

Anyone?

How tight should the grip be once fitted? Should it be comparable to a polymer grip? Thanks Jody

Thanks for trying.

Does anyone know if Dawson tool less base pads will fit on the MBX mag tubes? Thanks Jody

Can someone take a photo of the mag inserted in the gun. I want to see if the magwell will hide the exposed mag tube like when using Dawson basepads.

What's with trying to charge someone $18 shipping for an item that weighs less than a pound and arrives in an envelope. It's not like they are overnighting it.

Its all new, CK Arms Slide and KKM bull barrel. I have a friend that builds custom rifles that is letting me use his cnc machines and he's going to help me set everything up for the barrel fluting. According to him there is "Nothing to it". Of course there never is if you know what your doing and have the right equipment.

I am about to embark on my first build and have a couple of questions. Every where I've read, the gunsmith always fits the slide to the frame first. I want have my frame for about another month but gave everything else. Is there any reason I can't go ahead and fit the barrel to the slide first. Secondly, I'm going going to spiral flute the barrel. I have a 5" 9mm bull barrel. How many flutes are normally cut and what size end mill do I need to use? Any and All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jody

Does anyone sell the grams followers by themselves or do you have to buy the spring kit. I have 12 brand new springs and only need the followers if possible.

I have small hands and I thinking that the signature grip will help get a better grip.

I am in the process of ordering all the parts to build a 2011 in 9mm. I've already ordered a PT frame and almost decided on a SVI signature stainless grip for it. What I'm wondering is which magazines are going to work. I would prefer not to have to tweek and polish each mag to get it to work. I looked at the SVI mags, cause they're already tuned for capacity but they seem to need a lot of tweeking to make them run 100%. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like those OAL's are for the 9mm, not for the .40??? My bad, should have been 1.200 and it was ES not SD. No bullet set back or deformation on the plating.

I recently ordered 500 each of 230 gr 45, 180 gr 40's and 124 gr 9mm to try. The 45's and 9mm turned out great. They had smaller SD's and better accuracy than the bullets I have been using.The 40's are a different story. I'm shooting them out of an STI Edge and all shots were off a bench @ 15 yards. I weighed several of the bullets and they all weighed between 179.8 and 180.3 and all were .400 in diameter. My first load was loaded with Solo 1K to 130pf at 1.180, once fired Federal brass with just enough crimp to remove the bell. SD was 93 with a 5 inch group. I thought that I may be over crimping them so I pulled a loaded bullet and there were no marks on it. I've tried OAL's of 1.120, 1.155 and 1.135 with Solo 1K, Titegroup and Bullseye. Tried 130pf and 180 pf with all the different OAL's. SD's are between 90 and 105 and all groups were about 5 inches. Went back to 180 gr Zero's and Bayou Bullets and everything went back to shooting a ragged hole with SD's between 8-12. I'm at my wits end. Is it possible that the gun just doesn't like those bullets.
