Gunsbygiz Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsbygiz Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I also have zero long-term experience with anything that has been stroked… So I don’t know if it has any negatives long-term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 No. He's not built guns in many years and it's not really something you can retrofit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
