RIIID Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 With the poly grip the old Wilson 5 ounce(4.5 ounces actual) tungsten guide rod would make weight for SS Div. Next someone will suggest allowing double stack grips with spacer plates to allow just single stack mags to be legal. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustychev Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Dose this thing really make weight and fit the box? If so who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what they approve but they should follow the rules, I don't see how a plastic gripped 2011 in single stack is better than a steel framed real 1911, but I guess STI has to get some of their guns in USPSA since they dumped the open and limited line pretty much, they must be tired of replacing guns when they break.

I can see a little advantage to a wide-body grip maybe but I shoot 1911 size guns better due to my hand size a bigger grip would not help me. I can maybe see reloads being a little easier but not much if it's still a single stack magazine. We already have huge magwells for single stack guns.

They are following the rules. The rules say it has to have a metal frame, it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meaning mostly for reloads, not because of the size of the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I don't think so. The grip shape is very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustychev Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 After thinking about this from what I've seen all Troy really said was a modular frame and plastic grip did not disqualify it. He did not say it fit. How long is the dust cover. All I'm saying is see if it fits all the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 And I'd rather reload a 2011 than either of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Well, I don't think we'll see to many of them. At least not for a while. The grip is shaped differently than a 1911, I imagine there's not a lot of race parts.The mag release is different than a government model, I looked around for a customer and find nothing.I've not tried, but I'd be surprised if there's a mag well that works. A techwell is out, anyone try a Dawson?Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
