Blaise1 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm wanting to get a gun built for SS. My question is, is it legal to have a meltdown job done on the gun or not? I would probably carry it if it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) You mean De-horned and edges smoothed like the Clark custom job? If there are no ports you are not butchering the slide to take off weight and it weighs under 43 oz you should be good. APPENDIX D5 — Single-Stack Division (Contd.) 21 Authorized modifications Milling of the slide to insert sights, add or remove serrations, such as cocking or flat topping, tri-topping the slide, lowering ejection ports, cuts that are minor and cosmetic in nature are permitted. Duplicating features that are on a factory, mass produced slide available to the general public is permitted. Cuts that are designed to specifically or significantly lighten the slide, such as holes, or slots, are ruled as competitive advantage and prohibited.

kimberacp Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 the new SW 1911 45's have slots in the slide...are those legal? Cuts that are designed to specifically or significantly lighten the slide, such as holes, or slots, are ruled as competitive advantage and prohibited. Those guns are mass produced to the public... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midget Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Doesn't matter if it is mass produced. STI's RO model has a long dust cover. Both are illegal in SS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimberacp Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 too bad, I really liked that SW gun. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaise1 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thank's Yeah, I was talking about the full meal deal like Clark does. I just didn't want to get in to trouble with someone thinking I was shaving weight. You also answered my question about slide cuts. There's not a problem with having them mid-slide as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
