Maybe just a bit of duct tape would work?

All right, follow on question then: From my forum searches it appears that converting the aforementioned pistol from .38 Super to 9mm (Major) is as "easy" as having a new 9mm Tru Bore barrel fitted to it...or not. That barrel seems to price out at about $250 or so; what would I expect to pay to have such a barrel fitted. I have to add that in to my acquisition costs to evaluate where I can be this deal.

He has offered to let me shoot it first, so I would do that for sure. I don't know enough to say whether I'd prefer a 9mm Major, or not. Certainly I can see the advantage on brass cost, and I already reload a crap-ton of 9mm so that's a good thing...but the little research I've done so far seems to indicate that 9mm Major guns are even more finicky than .38 Super guns; and I don't see a deal on one right now in the Classifieds, either

Thanks for the replies, folks. It has a purported 5000 rounds on it. There is a little rub mark on the slide from the frame, but it isn't bad and doesn't look active. I know this is pretty normal on 1911 pattern pistols (although I only see it on my GSG1911), but is it something to be concerned with on a 2011?

Lol! Indeed I do! And I'm also trying to work in a session with Coach, as soon as we can get our schedules to sync... Thanks for the warm welcome.

So, I am considering trying my hand at Open. I have the opportunity to purchase a used STI Grandmaster with 2x 170mm magazines, 3x 140mm magazines, plus the stock magazine, a CRSpeed WSMII holster, 3x Safariland adjustable roller mag pouches, a 38 Super die set and a few hundred pieces of .38 Super brass for $2600. The gun has had a little tuning done too it, and it runs well. Is this a good deal, an OK deal, a "meh" deal; or should I stay away from the Grandmaster entirely and spend more on a custom gun if I'm at all interested in trying this?

Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to learning a lot here. I've been shooting more and more Steel matches and reloading quite a bit to allow for more practice; now I'm ready to kick it up a notch!
