warpspeed Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I originally started out with the intention of having a dedicated lower for a Marvel 22 top. Decided that it could do double duty as a 9x19 steel gun so I added the upper. I'm very happy. Shot it today for the first time after getting it back from hardchromer. 2" @ 25yds was no problem.

warpspeed Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 Very nice eerw. I sold my 40 Edge so I felt like I had to have something without a dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I like the way that trigger guard looks, I think I'm going to do that to mine. Nice gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Be forewarned about squaring the trigger guard, not all holsters will like it. It fits solid in a Safariland 012 but doesn't hold for sh!t in an Arredondo ( and I suspect a Limcat). I'll likely use it out of the 012 or a Blade-Tech kydex if I shoot IDPA. But I like the look too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 In case anyone was wondering, the squared trigger guard does work in the CRSpeed. Thanks for the idea warpspeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 The grip was done by my shooting buddy Mike Setting. He does a real nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpolans Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Pretty slick! How'd you square the trigger guard like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 Remove most of material with the dremel and fine tune with a file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I really like that. Exactly what I *need* in a 9mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 I really like that. Exactly what I *need* in a 9mm I felt the same way. I shoot a lot of steel and the plates don't seem to notice if the bullet is 0.400 or 0.355 dia. Nothing against the 40, I have a XD in 40, but I wanted a 1911 format ltd gun in 9mm. I had Benny Hill build the lower. He did an excelent job and the trigger was a perfect 2#, no creep. I still want to be able to use it for a Marvel 22 so I had Irv Stone @ Bar-Sto Precsion fit a unramped 9mm bushing barrel. Idea here was that I could use it for IDPA ESP if I wanted to and if I need extra weight I can use a tungsten guide rod. I fit the fp stop, extractor & ejector and took it to Tech Plate to have it hardchromed. They turned it in 1 week and the job was awsome. Since they are local, I was able to save on shipping. $ 102 if IRRC. Put the internals back in and put on the sights. Gun runs great.

tightloop Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 warpspeed I am sure you know you cannot use tungsten guide rods in ESP.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 No, but for USPSA Ltd class I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 no, but if you NEED a tungsten guide rod for 130 pf 9mm, you might consider a strength coach. Sorry couldn't resist. There was another question about the maqwell and mags. Can I use my "Standard" mags and only load 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moneypenny Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 If they can fit in the box yes you can use them and only load 10. Beautiful gun man i am thinking of the same thing here in the very near future, i know minor is a disadvantage but i dislike the recoil of major... fine call me a recoil sissy but i don't shoot it as fast.

warpspeed Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 The only thing different now from the picture is the magwell. In order to fit in the IDPA box, the magwell had to be modified, mostly in width. 140 mm mags are too long regardless of pads. 120 or 126 will work with flat pads.

Tacblack Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Nice gun. I really like shooting 9mm. Been wanting a SV 9mm for a while. If I didn't have a nice single stack super I used in idpa I would have got one long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
