Putting aside the fact that there are lots of people shooting guns just as customized as Rob Leatham's, the point was that he could have any configuration that he wanted, but he opts for the FLGR, and even opts for a tungsten guide rod in his XD. Seems like a lot of trouble and extra weight unless he believes the FLGR is doing something desireable.

Good point and I didn't miss it.  Just an alternate opinion Barry...If I find anything I don't care for, I'll put my FLGR right back in service.  I'm looking for 100% reliability, not accuracy.  If it falters even once, back to stock it goes and stock for Para is with a FLGR.

BTW, how far are you from Grove Springs?  Might be doing some hunting out your way this fall or next...old Navy buddy has three hundred acres.

Due respect to Mr. Leatham.  I heard he shoots about 200,000 rounds a year just competing but he ain't shooting a gun the average guy can buy and certainly not a gun made primarily in S. America and assembled in IL.  It's 100% custom and tuned for hot rod shooting by he, and S. Armorys' team of hotshot gunnies.

Just like I can't play golf with Tigers irons, I doubt very much I could shoot with Rob's 1911.....

just a thought...like I said, I'll let you know if I prefer one over the other but my opinion only matters to me!

I'm truely a Colt guy at heart but since they can't be had hereabouts, I gotta work with what I can get.....

Rob's words to me ...

Everything he shoots is completely available through the custom shop with the exception of the light trigger (liability issues).  However, if my gunsmith can't get it to my liking Rob and his buddies will make sure it happens.

I haven't spoken, or even met, Doug Koenig, but I have heard that he promises the same out of Performance Center.

There is stuff that is available that is not on the web site or catalogs through these companies.

In my world the biggest limitation is the right hip pocket  ;)

Back to the conversation at hand.  Just because you are a professional does not mean you are lass superstitious than the next guy, in fact you may be more superstitious, if any other sport is an indication.  Wearing the same shower shoes every game, not cleaning a uniform the entire season.  Just being a professional does not necessarily make one more knowledgeable than another.

Not sure where Grove Springs is. I'm in the far southeast corner of the state - down in the Bootheel.

About 40 miles east-northeast of Springfield off route 5.

On that, I am in total agreement.
Pro's might have more opportunities to see different perspectives than some of us do, but it still don't make them the 'end-all top authorities' on a particular subject.

Opposite side of the state. But have a great hunt, whatever length guide rod you use.
