My Ambi Controls Rant as a Lefty
Feel free to disagree but I believe the majority of Ambi controls are poorly designed and based on giving right handed individuals the benefits lefties already have.

Full Size Handgun Comparison

Today I do my best to compare various Ambi Duty Sized Handguns. Yes I understand they are in various states of modification and this is completely subjective. If you disagree or have any opinions of your own feel free to comment.

FN 509 Fullsize First Impressions

Comparing the WCP320 and the M1811

Today I compare the Wilson Combat WCP320 and the Brouwer Solutions M1811 grip modules for the P320. I bought the M1811 on a whim and ended up liking it so much I ran it through a couple of Classes and Competitions. I have roughly 2,000 rounds through the M1811 and about 4,000 through the WCP320 and have flip-flopped between the two over the last year or so. I don't think you could go wrong eith...

    Wilson’s doesn’t feel like a 1911 at all imo even though they say it’s supposed to. It’s also far too thin for my tastes. The Brouwer fills the hand perfectly, it has the best pointability out of all the polymer grip mods and it’s also of sturdier build quality. The stock texture isn’t great but it’s usable. I’ve been throwing self adhesive hockey tape on all my pistols regardless so it’s not a big deal for me but their laser stippling looks fantastic. It’s the only grip mod that naturally gives me a high grip. I also cannot stand the side panel designs on the Wilson. Makes it look like a BBQ gun a boomer would rock in a leather holster to me lol. If they offered a less flashy side panel texture and a Large version that filled the hand better it’d be much better. I’d still grab the M1811 probably.

    I have one in the 3xxs for the serial number. I have just passed the 1k threshold on mine as well. (mix of 115/124 fmjs and 100 147 federal HST JHP) The optic plate I have had no issues with. Mine went on with no issues. I am however using the K plate for the EPS carry. Wonder if its a difference in the plates? I was definitely not a press fit to the gun though. I have not had a hammer follow issue but my spring is still the factory spring as well. I have yet to have a malfunction on the firearm during shooting. I have had issues with loading where the round wont go up the feed ramp if I use the slide stop and it pushes the round in. Charging on a closed slide I have no feeding issues from an empty gun. Hard to tell but the movement in mine looks less then yours on the slide wiggling around. Magazines have varying wear but non that look as bad as the one that you have shown. Now the trigger. Where I think it is a design flaw issue and causes problems. Randomly my trigger would be super heavy like 6-8lbs feeling. Bro no 2011 platform should that heavy of a trigger I thought. Well sometimes it would be amazing. Even under the rated 4lbs in feel imo. I havent had a trigger gauge on it but when it feels good IT FEELS GOOOOOD. Now a few things I noticed is that when I had my finger closer to the bottom of the trigger to shoot like I do on my Five Seven it would be heavier more. It seems that when you have your finger down there it binds the trigger bar because its twisting the trigger I guess instead of going straight back. When my finger is high and wrapped around it I dont have that issue. I asked a gunsmith friend from the range I work at what that could be. He said that the trigger bar needs to be lubricated because it will bind and can cause that heavy trigger feeling. The bar runs on the right side of the gun in the mag well. Dabbed it up a bit with oil and he put a drop at the top and bottom of the trigger itself and I have yet to re experience that binding trigger pull. I have not put my finger at the bottom again though so maybe its just all in how the trigger is depressed which imo is a big design flaw. Now the finish on the gun isnt the greatest either. I got a scratch on the side of my frame where I think one of the mags rubbed it in a reload/malfunction practice. Very upset. Its small but imma forever know it is there. I am glad to see some objective thoughts into this thank you. I will continue to monitor and share my updates with you as well as time goes on.

In my case, because the trigger bow wraps around the mag when the mag is inserted into the grip, the trigger would bind up sometimes to the point where I could press the trigger. The guys over at Oracle arms corrected that for me & I have not had an issue since.
