I have both guns. They both feel different while firing, but the results from each are very close. The longer barrel of the Trubor does feel smoother for dot tracking. You can shoot medium loads, but not minor loads with the t2 barrel as it will not cycle if the load is too low. Typically you would need a 145 PF or greater to get consistent results. Some guns will need 160PF loads to cycle and you would normally see better results with higher PF loads using slower burning powders for dot tracking.
I have both 9mm and 38s barrels for both guns. 38s feels better than 9mm, but during testing the results are nearly identical when scoring. I don't feel so bad when I leave lots of 9mm brass behind when shooting outdoors; you can loose a lot of brass in the grass. $30-40/1000 is better than buying new 38s at $250/1000!
I wear size 8 gloves. The 2011 grips don't really fit my hands well, but like everything, you will get used to them. I did reduce one of the grips, but after 2 years I can barely tell the difference when using a regular grip. I recently installed a short trigger, but I may end up using the standard one as I like my finger positions better for quicker splits. Make sure you get a thumb rest installed and learn to use it!
You gotta pay to play, but the STI guns typically have less breakdowns than the other brands.
