Major/ minor

[Bwilmot]

What is the difference in a 2011 style  gun specifically set up for major and a gun that shoots minor?    Besides comp , porting , FPS, and spring wieght.  I’m just courious.

Slide weight maybe, shorter barrel and comp possibly, recoil spring. Otherwise I think you got it.

My TruBor handles both Minor and Major pretty well IFF the gun is very clean and

well lubricated, with a 10 lb spring.

 

If I wanted to shoot a lot of minor, I'd probably just drop an 8 lb spring in it

Yes mine will run both too.  I just wanted to know if I was missing anything special or a trick I didn’t already know.

The steel challenge guns I have seen have super light top ends. Their slides are usually very aggressively machined, often smaller and aluminum or TI.  Frames for steel challenge guns tend not to be the extra long extra heavy ones so popular in USPSA right now as transition speed is a bigger deal.
