abigger04 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Anyone here with a build from Lone star innovations? I am considering having Glenn build me a 9 major for open. I’m looking for your reviews or impressions on these builds from LSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It depends. Do you want one that is accurate, reliable, flat out beautiful and built to your specs? You found the right gunsmith. I have one of his open guns purchased several years ago. His attention to detail is excellent. If I was in the market for another customs pistol (heavy on the custom part) I would go straight to Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abigger04 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Cool. What type of gun did you have built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevil008 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I was hoping they would take off more than they have, unless they are intentionally keeping a small profile. Haven't met anyone with one of their guns, but they sure are good looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggieddad02 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Glenn has built me a 2011 minor gun in 9 mm and most recently an open gun with a 9 mm barrel and a 38 SC barrel. His work has always been outstanding and he stands behind his guns. Besides being a great gun builder he is also a great person, much to my wife's dismay he and I have become good friends which keeps her on her toes looking for the next build coming around the corner.

Full size (5") with three port comp in 9mm major. For me it was dedicated to 3gun so it also needed to run well with minor loads. One unique feature (may not still be available) is Glenn's automatic thumb safety. I shoot with my thumb resting on the safety. As soon as I release the gun, the safety engages. All the benefits of a Glock but with an excellent 2011 trigger. Never need to worry about engaging the safety prior to abandonment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more of a case where Glenn prefers quality to quantity. But that's not to say he's not busy. Every time I get to visit his shop he has numerous guns in various stages of completion.

I guess I just thought I'd hear more buzz out, but there are plenty of high quality gunsmiths that have been pumping out guns but not creating much buzz IMO: rafferty, EMG, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 How do these builds compare to Atlas? For those who have experience with both only please if anyone does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andersonj55126 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Glenn is a great guy and builds a great gun. He is a one-man shop so he does not crank out a huge number of guns per year. I have 2 of his guns and planning a 3rd. Also, he has one of the best comp designs on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfisher Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I have been shooting an LSI open gun since last June. I love the gun and Glen was a straight up guy to deal with. I’ve thought about building a second open gun, and a limited build and he would be my first call for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
