MissionaryMike Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 You're going to get incredible builds either way. I think it really just comes down to aesthetics, slides cuts. And I don't think anyone could make up your mind for you. You either like a design or not. But as far as shootability, you gave yourself the choice between really awesome vs really awesome. *shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowlmouths Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 A "true" custom Infinity or a "semi" custom Limcat? That is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Well, So about 10 years ago my house was broke into, had all my mags stolen had an area match coming up. I called SVI, talked to some guy named Brandon that didn't know me from anyone. I asked about mags, he said they had none in stock. Got my info and said he would make sure I got some as soon as possible. They ended up making sure I had mags in my hands before the end of the week. Never had a CC, anything they sent a bill once I got a set of mags in my hand. Second reason, I have one already. No one around me has an SVI. I have always envied the fine detail and finish. I searched everywhere daily for one. A used one popped up at a price I jumped on. I shot it some and really fell in love with the performance and design. Decided I want a new one. This one will become my back up open gun. I have shot several Limcat open guns and now a few SVI open guns. There are some differences despite both being amazing machines. All of the Limcat guns have been a bit softer shooting. The SVI is flat, but a bit harsher. I really like the feel of the SVI grip. Never felt a Limcat steel grip, but the SVI feels like a CZ, curved in the right spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Fickle again but no more lol. Just got off the phone with Roy. Wrote the check to SV going with my initial thought. Yeah yeah yeah I know FICKLE. But had to be sure and I am sure now. Check is in the mail. ? You will not see me change my mind again. After talking to Roy for an hour it's settled.

pjb45 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 You listened to Roy---OMG--- Sandy should put him on the payroll. Until I sold my SV Open gun I was trying to compete with him in the number of SV. He won. But I have a SV dedicated to a .22 TS upper! So I win.

I was devastated my ts upper wouldn't fit on my steel gripped frame last night. That would have been sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjones6686 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 not to confuse someone who is already clearly indecisive but have you look at Akai and/or talk to Shay or someone there? They do some pretty interesting slide cuts etc (seems you like that given your affinity with limcat). They also have some pretty interesting comp setups (the gill comp) that by most accounts works very well. SV is fantastic but the wait time for me personally would be a bit of a deal killer. if you had another 2011 open gun to shoot in the meantime then sure the SV wait is not so bad. but from memory this is your first open gun. waiting a year for it is another year you wont be shooting... 4-6 months would probably be bearable to me. try akai and see what they can do for you and in what kind of timeframe. They make some pretty guns too... I've owned 2 Akai Custom Guns. 1 40cal limited gun and 1 40cal single stack. I sold the limited gun since I primarily shoot Single Stack. I never had a single malfunction in either of the guns he built. Plus Shay has always been fast to respond to me when I've had a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Don't want to bother Casey to much so can anybody tell me the process now. When they recieve check do they call you and how does the process go through etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Don't want to bother Casey to much so can anybody tell me the process now. When they recieve check do they call you and how does the process go through etc. Go on the website. Play with gun builder. Get what you want and submit the design. The factory will message you back on that design with costs etc. you then send your deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you not hear anything till pistol is finished. Just wanted to see if there's updates as gun is being built etc. never did anything like this before and just wanted to hear about other members experience with a sv build.
