GlennRasch Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Here's a 9mm 6in. .......... shot it on Sat., need to tweak it little, the big thing is the slide needs more weight taken off, back to the mill.

Retread1911 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nice work. Where are you going to take out more weight? When I first saw the post I had though I recalled a limit of 7 lightening cuts for limited but I went back to the 2008 rule book and didn't find it. Hopefully I am miss remembering the limit.

Could be I started back 20 years ago and took about 15 years off before coming back. AKA retread Cool gun. Good luck with the additional lightening.

I'm going to cut the classic cut a little deeper and cut out were the reverse goes. I may cut also inside the dust cover, to get more weight off the front.

Aircooled6racer Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hello: Looks great Lots of mill time on that one. You may want to try a Briley aluminum guide rod and see if that gets the weight where you want it. I am using a 6" one with a STI plug for a 6" pistol. I have also used a 5" Briley aluminum guide rod also with the plug and a 5"11lb ISMI recoil spring. I left the plug tunnel in my 6" 9mm and it is a very soft shooter using 121grain bullets. Should be great for 3-gun. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seabee Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 All I can say is I'm jealous of Glenn's ability to create such a fine gun, and of the guy that gets to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
