HotLoad Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have been thinking way to much about my impending cheely 2011 build. I have been vacillating between having Matt build me a 5" sight tracker or a 6". Am I crazy for having him build me two top ends? A 5" and a 6" sight tracker. Are the new 2013 limited gun rules set in stone? I don't wanna have a 6" sight tracker top end that just collects dust. Thanks for comments and feedback.

Sam Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hottie, I don't think you are crazy. I have 4 top ends for my Caspian single stack. You can always find a good use for a different one. Steel Challenge, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haraise Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm right there with you. I have a 4.25 top end on order with him, and I'm debating between a 5 or 6" sight tracker as well. x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Stone Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 How about different top ends in different calibers? Maybe in .40 & 9mm? Although it is a few years off, I am thinking 9mm SS for my daughter when she start shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLoad Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yah I thought about different caliber uppers. I don't really shoot steel so it didn't make much sense to me. Still want to make sure the new hand gun rules are set in stone before I spend serious cash on a 6" sight tracker top end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpygravy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Nope - not crazy at all. I did the same with my SV limited gun (not sight tracker though) because I couldn't decide and no one where I shoot had a 6" gun for me to try. If you have the means, it's the best way to figure out if you like one or the other. Coming from Matt Cheely, you'll know that everything will be well fitted and if you ever have to re-purpose one of the tops because you find you don't like it, I'm sure Matt will be happy to make any changes you need.

HotLoad Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 This may disappoint some but after looking at the bank account, I have decided to just get one top end for the gun and that being a 5". I figured I could always have Matt do a 6" sight tracker next year. Can't shoot it in Limited this year anyway. Thanks guys for all the replies. Now I just have to figure out the rest of the gun. Leaning towards adding a SS SVI signature grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Hello: I would have gone the 6" route and forget the grip and buy more bullets I forgot to add no boat anchor/sight tracker Thanks, Eric Edited February 24, 2012 by Aircooled6racer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLoad Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I really want to try a sight tracker and I can't discount the fact that they look really cool. I also like the feel of metal in my hand and hence the metal grip. I know they are pricey but it might be a while till I do another limited gun. Ammo is not a problem as I am lucky enough to have 2 1050's. My thought is that the sight tracker does add weight up front but Matt does machine off some of the weight on the slide and with going to a short dust cover this would also reduce front end weight. From this starting point I can then fine tune front end feel with different weight guide rods. That is what I was thinking. Any other ideas?
