Should I swap my bushing barrel in my STI Trojan for a bushing barrel???

If you're comparing STI Bushing Vs. STI Bull - they're both match grade barrels - so you'll get the exact same accuracy if either are fitted properly (IE factory or good gunsmith)
All you're really going to gain with the bull is additional weight out front that *might* change the recoil jump - depending on your caliber.
Keep in mind that if you use that Trojan for IPSC - you're still good for Classic Division in Canada / the rest of the world, - BUT with the bull barrel - you're not legal for USPSA Single stack.
(If that matters)
My personal experience: I put a Bull in my 9mm STI USPSA Single Stack for the start of last year's season and didn't really find much difference. 9mm's pretty flat either way in a 1911. I'm back to bushing now so I can shoot the Florida Open.

I ran a bull for a year (17K rounds) in my ex-trojan, professionally installed
While yhe weight difference wasn't huge, i found the timing to be way different
As if there was a tiny delay in the unlocking of the barrel, making recoil control less snappy, in my opinion only
Old one was in 40, and just got another trojan 40 as inwant to try classic again.
In 40 definately on my to do list
As pointed in 9mm pretty pointless, 9mm slides cycle slow enough as it is
Picture of old setup muzzle
