My recently ordered heavyweight monolith arrived at the ffl yesterday and I picked it up today. I came prepared with a couple of sheets of paper shop towels. I had gotten one with the 1.5" guarantee. I was looking at the 3 inch but between 2 online vendors the difference was about $ 148 factoring in difference with shipping so I went for the 1.5"
By the way kudos to CJ at 1911 heaven. I had ordered the gun before Christmas and initially was going to get a cashiers check for the order but figuring out the slight delay and $ 47 less diffference vs convenience of a cc purchase , I later decided the same day to just purchase with a CC. After 6 days and no gun I called him up and he apologized as he had filed my order as pending since it was initially a check purchase and he was still waiting for something that I was not mailing. He therefore shipped my order that day and did not charge me a credit card fee because of the 1 week delay in shipping.
I was going to video my first racking of the gun but just couldn't help myself while inspecting the gun at the ffl and was quite surprised how much easier it was to rack compared to my premier II 3"s first rack. That was almost embarrassing it took 3 tries. With this monolith, I could even rack it with my fingers and the fcs. I had read before that the 1.5" were not as tight(racking wise) but I was still surprised at the difference. Weight difference compared to my older baer wasn't too noticeable. Supposed to be 3.5 oz heavier low and forward.
I had disassembled my first baer prior to it's first range trip since nothing was mentioned in the paraphernalia but with this one I'll follow the 500 rd no clean break in. Too bad snow is forecast tomorrow as our city range opens on Wednesday.
With this I hope to shoot like a girl... This girl.
