You are correct, however Shay at Akai does.  I have personally shot a nemesis, as well as a custom akai with the tungsten barrel and stroke job.  Hands down without a question the akai did not recoil as much… However we are talking about very small difference.  Not necessarily as big of a deal with iron sights… But if I end up putting a optic on it, if USPSA changes their rules… I wanted to track as best as possible

I would recommend gripping your gun as best as possible, then it will track the way you want it.

Stroking is primarily a reliability improvement, especially with light fast slides.  Any recoil changes are secondary.  That's why Dave Dawson started doing it back in the 1990s.  I've been shooting a pair of his Open guns that are stroked for the past 20+ years and they run awesome, even with well over 100K rounds each (2nd barrels on both, one is coming up on needing a 3rd).

Does this only apply to open guns? Or limited guns in 9 mm or .40?

Applies to everything.  Whether you need it or not for each depends on many things-- how light/fast your slide is, how reliable your mags are, how cool you want to be, etc.  Dave did a number of stroked Limited guns, even 6" Strokers.  I don't have one so can't provide any more useful info.

And I assume Dawson does not provide that service anymore?

Gunsbygiz this is the third posting you've made about stroking guns.....you've even resurrected necro threads on it. 

 

Maybe just get one?

I’m sorry I thought the whole point of this forum was to share knowledge and experience?   I like to understand what I’m about to potentially spend thousands of dollars on and wait a year for. But if you want to buy one for me… I’m in sign me up
