feederic Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Simple question I guess, but how much shorter is a 2011 SDC compared to the LDC? Can somebody provide measurements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croomrider Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It's standard 1911 length. Don't have measurements handy. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feederic Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 A measurement is what i'm looking for. I was wondering how much to lop off of a ldc to make it standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want the dustcover to overlap the spring channel cover on the slide by about .100 which is what a short DC frame does. Are you planning on lightening your Edge?

Mike Yes I am planning on lightening my Edge. I have two of them, one is sitting around not getting much attention so I figured I would use it as somewhat of a test gun for different configurations just for fun.

392heminut Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 On my SV short dust cover frame the measurement from the shoulder where the recoil spring guide rod sits to the end of the dustcover is 2.28 inches and measuring from the forward edge of the slide lock hole to the end of the dustcover is 2.53 inches.

Ronnie j Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 My measurements agree with hemis 2.630 from center of slide stop hole to the end of dust over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I would do stirrup cuts on the slide back to just in front of the recoil plug channel and then cut the dust cover to line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
