Thanks.Buy a top tier slide and barrel like infinity or kkm and send it to Gans Guns. He doesn't sell parts but he can build you something cost effective in a short amount of time. http://www.gansguns.com/Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hello: Have you thought about Carry Optics? Yes you can get another top end built and offset the cost by selling your 40 top end. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will77 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yep I'm shooting carry optics well first match shooting that division is the 26th.I like shooting my Glock 34 but i do miss the fell of the 2011 ha. I've been out of the game for a few years was more curious than anything, a lot has changed in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 My first Open gun started life as an STI Edge in 40sw. The owner sent it to Gans and had him lighten the slide and install a new barrel with comp in 40. I shot that gun for two years. Even though I shoot 9mm Open now, I still liked the 40 Open better. It was waaay softer and flatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSHMJ Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 This one started out as a limited gun. Atlas built an open slide for it. So Im sure you can have a slide/barrel of your chosing fit to your frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 will, if you are planning to add a steel grip check your serial number and ask if the grip will fit on. STI changed the dimensions of their frames so many times it is just pot luck. For instance, a Cheely e2 grip goes on newer STI DVC frames with no fitting. However, it would not go on my CMxxxx serial number Edge frame. It would require milling a substantial amount of material off the frame pads. BTW, there is nothing wrong with shooting a poly grip. I did it for years. If you want to move the balance of the gun back, buy a brass magwell. That will put you within 1.5 oz. of a steel grip. You could also replace the plastic MSH with a metal one. Then you are at the same weight as a steel grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will77 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Ok I'll check the serial number this evening,gun is 8 years old about 10,000 rounds through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will77 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Reading through the Honchos thread got me thinking about that route, my son is hooked on steel challenge I like the idea of just a barrel swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't already had two Open guns in the pipeline I'd have jumped at the Honcho deal last year. Thee barrels for the price of one. 9 minor for steel, 9 major for USPSA and a regular 9mm barrel for the one club that does not permit compensators in competition.

will77 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 That’s what I’m thinking rotating between open and steel challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
