    That designation is funny.

    MJD Solutions has pics on socialist media of his grip installed on a Girsan. He says it is a straightforward install.

    Interesting. Looks like a 1st Gen STI grip module.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Yes I think that's right. But no bottom "grip" screws. Also the MJD are supposed to have a bit more magazine well flare built in.

    In for a penny in for a pound. I'm going to send the slide off to C&H and have it cut for the cross plate system. I thought about sending it to DSC to have him cut it for the Dawson/Staccato plates but the C&H is a little cheaper. Both seem to be available for a decent variety of optics so either wouldn't be a bad choice.

    I was able to handle one of these in a NOT so LGS, Flaggstaff AZ. How much do these guns weigh, it seemed pretty stout to me? They had two budget guns I was looking at and Im not 100% it was yours but it was hefty and made me think, this much be a pussy cat to shoot. But slide was smooth and at a quick glance seemed OK built for the money. Guy said they have sold a bunch and no issues. He was a huge fan.

    EAA website lists this version at 25.6 ounces. I haven't put it on my postage scale to verify.

    Then this was a different gun. It was close to 40 oz or more. Maybe my hand scale is off but not 15oz.

    I had to go on the hunt, I thought Im losing my mind. it was a Rock Island at a cool 2.7 lbs =- 43.2 oz

    The Rock Island is a Para Ordnance clone or similar. Not an STI 2011 clone as is the case with the Girsan.

    Internet rumor is that Tisas will have a 2011 clone out in January. If this is true and the gun is anything like the Raider, Sting Ray, etc it should be a good product.

    Why would you go this route over Prodigy? The kinks have been worked out and they can be had for around 1k on sale.
