Finalized build made sure everything was right and was told my build is on its way to the floor. Didn't ask when it would be finished but Sv said early October and maybe sooner. Said usually from this point 1-2 months. Hell yeah it's really close now. Was reallly surprised about call almost didn't answer it thinking it was a solisitation call ? can't wait. That's funny. I haven't received my call yet, and I placed my order a couple of months before? I look forward to your pics.

a matt Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If I was looking at either of these guns they would be used and with that added to the equation I would see who has the best warranty. Now if I did go the new gun route again warranty would play a huge part in my decision. Both are great guns but warranty trumps most talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not a one on that list cuts their own slide in house that i know of. Just because you don't like someone (Matt) doesn't mean they can't do something they have already done many times. Plus if you're under the impression that any name I mensioned can't or doesn't manufacture some of their own slide you are mistaken, again.

Dirtchevy841 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Have my fingers crossed maybe this week or next week. Gotta get my lazy but on the press and start working up some test loads so I am on top of it when it does come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 168PF (4.9 grains N320) loads for my STI Edge became 180PF loads for the SVI with the AET barrel in 5.4". Those barrels are fast as heck. I already had 2,600 rounds through the barrel at the time of chrono so I'd assume it was broken in. Edited September 10, 2017 by tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep 40 sight tracker. I have my bayou bullets at 1.193 to break it in. Have Montana golds and precision delta both in hp and rn to work up loads. Gonna see which is better in accuracy and function. I know function should be good curious to see what bullet it likes best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 5.4" AET in my SV limited gun that is way slower than every other .40 barreled I have. And those include Nowlin, Bar-Sto, Schuemann and probably some others. I had been using the same .40 load for years and had to bump it up to make major with the AET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissionaryMike Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Does that necessarily, or even just more likely, equate to harsher recoil? Edited September 12, 2017 by MissionaryMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the 5.4" shoots a little softer, even with a slightly hotter load. But that could be due to the extra weight or any number of things. On the flip side, the 5.0 is lighter and handles better. But I typically shoot the 5.4 because the longer sight radius is definitely a plus.

ltdmstr Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Can't say for sure, but that's what I would do. I'm currently building a non-AET 6" limited gun with a light slide and titanium grip. Should make for an interesting comparison when it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome mike. Did you ever get a call to go over the build sheet? I am still waiting and I am not confident that the call I got and the time frame is gonna be correct. I waited this long but it still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionaryMike Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm right at 17 months for this build. I'll have it in my hands on Monday. I never got a call to go over the build. But I did get a call asking me for an FFL and money. I was glad to provide both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionaryMike Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think they've been running all their machines on full tilt for a while over there at INFINITY. I heard one of their machines went down and delayed things a bit. Breakages are bound to happen. No matter, I expect to be blown away by the craftsmanship.

MissionaryMike Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) No. They told me that they don't take those hi-res pics of every gun. Only the first few of the newer or more unique builds. At least that's what I was told. Maybe my build wasn't cool enough, hah! My own low-red, amateur pics to come very shortly.
