Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. It sounds to me like you have very acidic hand sweat. Those places it rusted are more than likely where you touched it and didn't wipe it off. I've had plenty of plain blued guns that have been exposed to all kinds of elements and never rusted. I just wiped them off at night. Get it coated with DLC or hard-chrome and you won't be disappointed.
  2. I was looking at building a single stack off of an SVI Officer's length (3.75) with an aluminum frame and was curious if this would be practical for this kind of build. This would not be any kind of competition build, just range and maybe concealed. Hell, I may just switch the build completely and go with the double stack. I was not sure if this would add extra overall weight to the gun. Just playing with my options and thought I would consider the hybrid barrel since I am not familiar with that platform.
  3. Thank you, This is the kind of response I was hoping to get. My thought on the 9mm was that there is not enough recoil in the first place to need the sight tracker and if it would be overkill. But, once again I have never shot a 1911/2011 with this kind of barrel to know if the difference is justified.
  4. I've been a lurker on here for some time and have been searching for the answer to this question recently. Lots of topics on the "Hybrid/Island" barrel but nothing on exactly what I'm looking for. Keep in mind when I say "Hybrid" barrel, I am referring to the "Island/Sight Tracker" kind of barrel. I have absolutely no experience with these barrels so please educate me if there is a difference in the names I've just listed. I have an SVI with a bull barrel but I am interested in the ones mentioned above and just weighing my options here. 1) When it comes to SVI's hybrid barrel, how much weight does this add to the front of the gun? Does it cancel out since the slide is missing a good chunk of metal where the rib sits flushed on the slide? 2) Is this barrel really only useful on a competition gun? In other words, is it something you would want on a single stack for self defense/concealed? 3) Should this even be considered for a 9mm? This forum has been very helpful for me for some time. So I appreciate the replies. Thanks!
