They are a cheater IDPA CO gun, but a true open gun, they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’d give it a whirl. lol I’m stupid that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) What about a 5” gun with 4.6 slide and a sightblock ? Edited January 17 by Superkaratemonkeyfighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Sight blocks are always a good idea if you can stand the weight. Can be very flat, simple physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Never shot one. but a 4.6 slide that weights say 10.5oz plus optic and a say 2.0oz block in the end of the barrel seems interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 You hear a lot about full size 2011 in 9mm “feeling slow. idk I used to shoot a TSO and I ran 220gr a few times and it did feel weird but gun was back locked up in plenty of time to shoot .11-.12 splits , if I was ready so feeling slow and being slow I think are a big difference.

It makes sense, commander size guns have a shorter stroke, I think .100" not a lot, plus the slide is lighter so it's moving faster. Mine was a 4", I sprung it with 19 hammer and like a 10-11 recoil and at the time shot lighter bullets. Previous to this most of my 2011 shooting was 40 major in 5" guns. Going to a 5" 9mm gun with 147 gr bullets it felt sluggish to the point I didn't like it. Now for sure the gun is cycling and still waiting on me no matter how fast I pull the trigger. You could maybe make the case that if the gun is waiting on my longer I might perceive that as the gun being flatter even if it's not really. I doubt our brain really knows what's going on in that .05-.06 seconds the gun cycles. I'm sure if you just shoot the thing a bunch it'll become your new normal and you wont notice it anymore. I chose to try to speed the gun up to change how it felt. So I added a aluminum shock buff to shorten the stroke a little and dropped down to a 17 hammer and 8 recoil spring. Much less noticeable now. But neither is making me shoot the gun faster or better. It's completely subjective of what feeling I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
