Thread: KSTG

  1. #271
    This came to me yesterday as I was working on my 1911.

    Under the KSTG rules the 1911 is illegal. As the actual 1911 barrel length is just a tad over 5". As the official barrel length is 5.03" with some factory barrels even goes as far as 5.11" (in the case of many STIs).

    Interesting. I'm in favor of bumping it to < 5.32"

    Funny - just today I was scoping a decent deal on a 6" Bar-Sto 1911 barrel and was looking up the exact length in order to cut it to the 5" government length (decided to pass). I saw the barrel length listed as 5.03 inches in a few sources...

    I would agree, since going from 5.11" to 5.31" is not a huge jump.

    Really I think the box or simply a total length gauge wouldn't be a bad idea, since that factors in total dimensions or length of the gun. For example I would argue that an P229R Elite is arguable as concealable as a P226R as the beaver tail increases the total length.

    So in that vein I would argue that a Glock 34 at 8.81" is just as concealable as a full size 1911 with extended beaver tail at 8.7". Heck I would argue at half almost half the weight that the Glock 34 is more practical.

    Considering that all the major manufacturers list their full size Gov't Model 1911 barrels at 5", if we need to make some allowance for that we can.

    The G34 thing has been discussed to death and while we certainly have no problem with folks continuing to voice their opinions about it, our reasoning hasn't changed and neither has our decision. Addressing other things -- concealability, weight, etc. -- doesn't change that.

    I'll call you later about this, and a few other things.
