Punished Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I've read through 10-15 threads in the search function (including the 40 open thread) but not really finding my answer on what I need to make this work. I currently have a limited 2011 already and would like to play in the open division. I'd rather use the same slide and just swap out the parts needed to run open. My current parts list is below- what parts am I looking at buying and then sending off to a gunsmith to have everything fitted up? I'd like to run a Schuemann barrel again Probably send to GansGuns for fitting and slide lightening as I wanted to have this changed up anyways and refinished. current gun- caspian .40 slideSchuemann AET bull barrelSTI reverse plugSTI guide rodISMI 12lb recoil springAftec extractorLimcat XL firing pinEGW ejectorKoenig hammerIsmi 17lb main springSTI titanium hammer strut Parts to buy- Schuemann bull barrel compensator barrel link slide racker mounted in front of rear sight cmore mount / tap frame for mount (my other option is turn my Glock 22 into a SJC open gun, but id rather shoot my 2011) all your input is much appreciated!

jcc7x7 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Sounds right 135 gr bullets will generally run flat out of a 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Sounds right. My buddy has a similar 40 limited/open set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punished Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks fellas. The bull barrel and comp should fit without having to mill the slide down correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPostman Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 You will probably need a 1 degree cut where the slide meets the comp for clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
