steel1212 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) http://www.springfield-armory.com/prod-pstl-1911-op.shtml bottom one I was looking at the TRP with the rail but it has a bull barrel and I think that would be considered "heavy" right? Also would I notice 7 oz diffrence from the trophy match or black stainless that are 38oz and this one is a light weight at 31? I would be adding a magwell but that looks to be about it. I've pretty much come down to 3 pistols for CDP: The one above (would do duel duty as house gun with light which makes it more appealing to me) The trophy match and switching the sights to fiber optics http://www.springfield-armory.com/prod-pstl-1911-tm.shtml The black stainless full sized which looks like it has everything I need just wondering about the accuracy. http://www.springfield-armory.com/prod-pstl-1911-fs.shtml Second from the bottom.

rubberneck Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Yes. It weighs less than 41 ounces with an empty mag, has a bushing barrel, and it does not have a full length dust cover. You are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are good to go. What about the lose of the 7 ounces, would I notice that in shooting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I don't know about you, but I would... and do... find 7 oz to matter. I consider a 38-41 oz .45 to be about right and have a 30 oz 9mm that is very handy. Without trying to pick through the whole catalog and features and gizmos, about any of the guns you mention would do for CDP so long as they meet technical requirements like no full length dust cover, weight, and box fit. Accuracy of all is comparable and plenty good enough for IDPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a .45 with a rail so it will double as my house gun and IDPA gun so I get the most practice with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 42 oz = illegal 5" gun w/bull barrel = illegal in CDP and in USPSA SS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 42 oz = illegal5" gun w/bull barrel = illegal in CDP and in USPSA SS... Yeah, I know but that gun is sweet and would love to get it but I want a duel purpose gun. The one I'm looking at is the above one but its 31 oz instead of 38.
