I currently shoot a Bedell Shorty in 9 major with a vertical Cmore, but I have really been itching to try a Glock in Open. I shoot a Glock better than a 1911, I have hundreds of thousands of rounds thru one over the years. I`m thinking about just getting a slide, barrel and comp to shoot the same load my 1911 shoots now. I have a Doctor not doing anything so I`m thinking about just having the slide cut for it and try it out on my pistol to see if I like it before I spend the cash for a full done Open pistol. I`ve exchanged a few emails with Bevin and he can`t get any support from the Factory in Germany to harden the Doctors anymore, and the small Cmores aren`t up to the task as a slide ride either. I don`t want to do any type of frame mount right now.. my Glock is my carry gun and I don`t want to do anything permanent to it.
What kind of optics ( Fastfire, J Point, ect..) are living on 9 major slides if any, or if I do just use my Doctor, is there anywhere in the US that would be able to repair it if it goes down?
Thanks for any input!
