DyNo! Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) After a discussion the other day, a friend brought up the idea of shooting the STI Trusight which is legal for limited in USPSA: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72576&view=findpost&p=840387 Since everyone is shooting 6" 9mm 2011's in multigun these days, I'm considering a build that involves this barrel with a dovetail cut into it: http://www.americanshootersedgeonline.com/19112011truborblankbarrel.aspx I can't see any Outlaw rule sets that would prohibit it but before I dropped the coin, I'd like to stir the pot a little bit. (It is cheaper to do it in that order) Thoughts? Edited March 7, 2012 by DyNo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OperationHitFactor Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think you might be better off with a 9mm STI Aperio, Bedell sight trane, SV Sight Tracker, etc. Hybrid barrel with no ports would be a heck of a lot easier to get running. Limcat does a fixed sight version very similar to what you are talking about. Are you building it or going through a smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't told me if he thinks it would run or not but I'd believe him. I can't imagine it would be any harder to get running than an Open gun with no red dot (which without a red dot is easier to do in 9mm since you can have it eject wherever you want). Yup, the one I'm thinking of would have a shorter dust cover and a longer sight radius: Kind of like this but without the ports: Edited March 7, 2012 by DyNo!

OperationHitFactor Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If your smith builds open guns then I'm sure he can do it. Keep us updated, it will be interesting to see what he comes up with. The only real question left is if it will be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real question left is if it will be legal. Looks like I'm going through with it - I can't find anything in writing that says I shouldn't and quite a few usernames that know what they are talking about came through this thread. I'll let you all know in about 6-8 months though when it's done. It is no different than a sight tracker. It's not a comp, there are no ports, and it isn't any more of a "barrel weight" than a bull barrel compared to a bushing barrel if it's all one piece. I figure if the Trusight is legal in USPSA of all things, there's no reason why it would be illegal in 10 page IMGA Outlaw rulesets. In checking my majors for this year, I didn't find anything in their rules (all different ). I don't think it'll be a trend and it won't give me any advantages that someone with a 6" 2011 doesn't already have. Edited March 7, 2012 by DyNo!

benny hill Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Why such a front heavy gun for such a light recoiling 9mm?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Cam, don't worry about it being legal for Limited/Tactical. You will be shooting open after the mag check anyway. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
