Haven't gotten far enough along to actually purchase the slide yet ~ still pondering, although with the screwed up registration BS measure passing this evening in Oregon, I'm going to have to jump VERY quickly if I do this.
Clark's is not building a ramped 4.25" barrel w/ the compensator, so the point may well be moot. Rowland told me that the comp is the key, and it's patented (?). They are using a 24 lb recoil spring w/ 5" barrel, 18.5 lb spring with stainless guns (more stiction?). My Para P-14 is using a 23 lb spring & functions perfectly w/ 185 grn Corbons, ejects brass about 8' from the gun. Leads me to think that their comp must be rather effective (?).
Fitting beavertail grip safeties, stoning triggers, etc is the limit of my experience ~ have never fitted a barrel: I am definitely not a qualified 'smith. Have to think this through before I lunge.
