Nickb45 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I'm only using the weights from SW as an estimate as to how much weight will be removed. I have a base weight, then the weight after that from the cuts. I don't have a specific weight in mind that I want. Not right now anyways. I will get behind both pistols tonight and see what they feel like and what my times/hits are running drills.

EclipseDS Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) True, but those parts are constant and common in either configuration. The end weight will differ from one gun to the other, but the weigh differential will be somewhat close. Edit: This is a reply to 2011BLDR. Nick - thanks for the figures. This gives me a clearer picture of what to expect Edited March 3, 2016 by EclipseDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickb45 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Not sure the repeatability of my scale, but it says .4 oz for a tri top on a 6" slide, it was already flat topped. I can feel the difference in the little bit of dry fire I did at lunch. See how it feels tomorrow at a steel match.

APL-G35 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It will be good enough for second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APL-G35 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 That was a whole month ago. Haha. The gun is looking great. I still need to test drive it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Hello: The new weight saving for the tri-top is correct if it was flat topped already. People think tri-topping it will remove a lot of weight. Not so much. Cutting slots and holes takes out more weight. Looks good so far. I forgot to add that you can add a Briley Aluminum 6"guide to take weight out. I bought mine from Sean at Power Factor Shooting. Thanks, Eric Edited March 5, 2016 by Aircooled6racer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickb45 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 It transitioned good today at a steel match today. There is a noticeable weight difference. I think I'm going to leave it how it is for now. The gun will be cerakoted so it can be cut up and re sprayed at any time.
