McGlock Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Just doing a survey of how many forum members are shooting an open gun built on a glock platform. Remember this is any glock that is considered open: Comped, red dot (or for the few who use irons with a comp), and rocked out to roll in open!

greatlakes08 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I am thinking of getting an open glock. Did any of you guys ever shoot 1911 open guns? If so why did you switch over to glock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I Shot and do shoot a 2011 open gun. I got an open glock put together mainly for a backup gun incase the sti goes down. I had a glock base gun already, some stuff off prize table etc so I have very little in the glock open gun. Its a good shooter and well worth the money.

ziebart Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I've never shot a STI open or otherwise. I got the SJC open glock because it came up for sale locally for $1350 with 2 big sticks, and a DAA holster. Seemed like a good deal to try open without breaking the bank. Just made A with it, and I like shooting open so it's a keeper. If I see a great deal on an open STI I may pick one up. Don't think the Glock is holding me back, I would just want to see what all the fuss is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockman1000 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I am thinking of getting an open glock. Did any of you guys ever shoot 1911 open guns? If so why did you switch over to glock? My very first 2011 open build, Caspian slide, STI frame, Shuemann fitted barrel with EGW 7 port comp, C-More Serendipity, .38 Super in 1996. Sold it a couple months later. Second, factory built SVI Infinity in .38 Super also, first year the interchangeable breechfaces came out (1998?) Tasco Optima slide cut. Same as the attached pic but not with the hybri-ports. Sold that caused I needed the money for my wife's medical treatment. For me the S_I grip frame never felt comfortable. I always shot my Glocks & was very comfortable with them. I went with an open Glock due to cost & easier availability of components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Smith Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I've shot my G35 in both Production and Limited. But my eyesight isn't that great and focusing on the sights has been a struggle. So I got a G22 top and a Jager conversion and swapped parts from my G35 top. So, I now have a gun that can be switched between Production, Limited, L10, and Open in under 5 minutes. Now if I could just find more time to practice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpolans Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I sold my old STI gun because it was made by a big name gunsmith but it wasnt what I wanted an if I started having the slide milled, etc, I'd be spending a lot of money to decrease its value. I got the SJC Glock for a good deal and like its reliability relative to my old STI and the low cost of spare parts, and reliability of spare magazines. I just can't see myself spending the money for an STI open gun. I just don't feel I'm giving up much to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFuchs Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Have a STI since late 80's? It was built with a Delta Elite slide, C-more rail. Still have it, love it, shoot it. Also a First Gen G20, still love it and shoot it. It's fun and practice. I' now thinking a 9 X 25 barrel comp. Because I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
