Sam Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Inside the cover of the Sept/Oct. 2004 "Front Sight" magazine is a picture of a trick looking SVI Infinity. The ad says it's now legal for Limited and L-10. So, if I got one of these barrels and milled my slide to accept it, would my blaster be legal too? Or would the gun have to be produced by SVI to be legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDELLCUSTOM Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 no, it does not have to be built by SV. we are also building a non-ported hybrid limited gun called the "lightning", it can be seen at shootersconnection.com. or as you said, you could build one yourself now that the design is limited legal.

bgary Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Note that, at this point, it is only legal on wide-body 5" guns in .40-cal, according to NROI, because that is the only configuration that has been built in sufficient quantity to qualify for Lim/Lim-10 (500 units) bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Dan and Bruce, thank you for your replies. Those are some mighty nice looking guns you have there, Dan! Bruce, I was thinking of putting one in my S_I wide body .40, so that's all good. Looks like a cool setup to me, a little more barrel mass, a little less slide mass, and the front sight stays put.

BEDELLCUSTOM Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 when we found time to build and test the first one, i found it to be slightly softer shooting than most other limited guns, but myself did not really find a noticeable advantage having the front sight fixed to the barrel.

Sam Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 (Snowed in?) Hehehe, not yet Flexman, but it's headed our way. Yeah, in the winter I do go into tinker mode really bad. Maybe I should spend the time and energy dryfiring instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 I don't know? Might depend on the goal of your efforts? Thanks for that, Kyle! I was getting pretty interested in the idea of fitting one of these to my gun until you questioned me. Truth is, I don't need a new gee-whiz gadget on my blaster. heheheh.......I need more practice. I have never been nor can I imagine being "snowed in". John, depending on how one looks at being "snowed in". It can be a blessing or a curse. Twice a season is about right for me. Life, all of a sudden gets real. All the roads and businesses shut down. No skool for the kiddies! You can't go anywhere in a truck or car. Sometimes the 'lectricity takes a break too. Kids love it. The kid part of me loves it too. But, some people get hurt and some occasionally even die, so I don't wish for it to happen. I just totally accept and enjoy it fully when it happens.

Flexmoney Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I'm with you Sam...I know I feel the need to "do something"...to get in motion. (I should practice more too. ) It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgary Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Does my Para P-16 qualify as a "wide-body 5" guns in .40-cal"? Yes Can I change the dimensions of the sight rib? Unclear. Best to check with Mr. Amidon before plunking down the money. Does this remind anyone of the Craig Dust Cover Debacle? Well, the good news is that we have an official ruling on the record. The bad news is, I suspect this is going to spawn all kinds of variants, and Limited two years from now will look very different than it did a year ago...

wide45 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thanks for the reply. I'm happy with the gun now, but I like knowing what can, and can't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 A:D7.16 "Any complete handgun or components produced by a factory and available to the general public for one year and 500 produced" So...the "non-ported hybrid barrel" would be the component and thus you can put it on anything you want? So, for example, if someone made (say) 500 integral comp/barrel (without ports), then matched it up with a Commander slide... Or did I miss something?

wide45 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 As I understand it, the 500 have to be produced as a complete non prototype gun, by a manufacturer. After that is accepted, components may be used to reproduce the factory configuration. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 A:D7.16"Any complete handgun or components produced by a factory and available to the general public for one year and 500 produced" SVI has NOT produced 500 "sight tracker" pistols, at least as of the last time I talked to the SVI crew. Wil HAS produced 500 non-ported Hybrid barrels. Do the math Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNsTeR Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 http://www.uspsa.org/rules/nroi_rulings.ph...on=edit&indx=10 "SV has provided confirmation that the "Sight Tracker" has met the requirements of 500 produced and a year of production in .40S&W with a 5" barrel. Calibers in other than .40S&W are not allowed and raised rib barrels other than 5" are not allowed. This configuration will only be allowed on wide body guns, as this is how SV produced it." Defies logic, IMHO, but that's how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 So, for example, if someone made (say) 500 integral comp/barrel (without ports), then matched it up with a Commander slide... No, that counts as an external weight/device to control recoil.. what i want is glock to make a model 35 with a magwell and tungsten weights throughout the frame..mmm 50 oz limited glock. the fact that you cant get a non-ported hybrid( everyone is sold out) kinda sucks I want to shoot one of these sight tracker guns before i cough up the dinero to buy one, or build one.. otherwise its gonna be tough to beat a glock...and lots of practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
