He's testing the comp design, poppel hole design and load preference. Tons of testing going on. That's 1 video. I'll post a range report as soon as I get mine.

Mine is getting customized to look like the DS9 Hybrid Black and blue, however, mind is coming with a polished stainless barrel, and black SS grips. The SS grips cost a bit more to get added, but, will be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SS grips cost a bit more to get added, but, will be worth it! I opted for the aluminum grip. I also have a 5.5” 40 with stainless grip. I wanted to go lighter. I think I made the right choice, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a Geppert Convex X-line adjustable length trigger. The gun shipped with a black, short, flat trigger. All my 1911/2011s have the Convex trigger.

But who knows if that will take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
