Let's start with some gun porn first.......
Nice huh, you know you are drooling and want to shoot it........
Well lucky me I got to do just that today at ACC. Let me try to put some words on this build. Professional, tight, accurate, flat shooting, sexy, jealous, .... Wait, the last one describes me not the gun.
This thing not only looks badass, it shoots badass. Very tight tolerances all around including the lock up. Everyone brought some ammo and except for some badly GLOCKED brass this thing just ate everything. I did everything I could at the trigger and with my grip to get the gun to hiccup and it wouldn't do it with any ammo I brought.
We sighted it in and I am by no means any type of bullseye shooter and managed some great groups off hand. If CB45 is around, I like to let him put the finishing touches on a sight in. He just shoots better groups than me, so I take advantage when I can. Killion (Kurt) agreed and we watched Chad dial it in to a paster size group off hand at exactly 17 yards. Geez, off a rest this thing is gonna do 1 hole. Just an amazing gun.
The big thing to me was getting to shoot a steel grip. I really wanted some comparison against the standard STI 2011 grip I've shot for 10 years. We played with recoil springs starting with a 10 and worked our way down to an 8. It just shot more amazing with each change. I shot a ragged hole at almost Bill Drill pace from 10 yards. I hate Kurt's guts, it's simply not fair.
This gun shoots equal, or just a tad better than mine, and I'm running a Brazos ThunderComp 2 barrel and 2 popple holes. Cheely's comp, coupled with AllenM's gunsmithing, is one hell of a combo. The dot never left the glass once we switched to a 9lb recoil spring, at an 8lb, it's just amazing.
I really liked how the steel grip shifted the feeing of balance. This thing felt centered in my grip, solidly in my hand. My gun, JuJu, which AllenM fitted a new slide to about a month ago, feels a little more forward in the hand? It's hard to describe, but suffice to say I'm now a steel grip fan.
I dont know AllenM's gunsmithing plans, but if possible, he will build my next Open Blaster.
Overall impression and opinion........
AWESOME
