open67 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The 9L is slightly lighter than the pro I am assuming because of the contoured slide front. Has anyone found that prefferable over the pro if each has the apex trigger and the sights they like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think the difference in weight is less than an ounce. People that have shot both tend to think the difference is irrelevant. The 9L is probably a better platform because most replace the sights and trigger anyway, but the slide weight doesn't really make a difference.

E K Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I have the 9L. My buddy has the PRO. The weight difference is very noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerjunky Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 ^ Which one shoots better and more flat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E K Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Everybody is different. I think most guys buy the pro because they can get it without ordering where you will usually have to order the 9L and wait 2-3 days. I was willing to do that. My buddy would don the same if he had it to do over again. Do yourself an additional favor and send it to Dan Burwell for a trigger job and you have yourself one sweet gun! You won't be disappointed.

Scott Steele Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The 9L has been discontinued. So I've been told by lots of dealers. Found a 9L and bought it. Will put sights and Apex trigger on/in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be true. Too bad. Good find on your part though. It is a better balanced gun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarter Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I hadn't heard that. Too bad. I like my 9L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPENB Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I like the front slide contour on my 9l better than the pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maksim Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 humn, might be time to buy a 9l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckfarris Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I decided that since I would more than likely change the sights anyways and install an apex competition trigger kit, I decided to get the 9L since it was a little cheaper. I am glad I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
