TLDR: I don’t think the money I spent was worth it. 

Before sending my sp01 to Cajun, I had put over 1k rounds through it. It’s a great pistol, the best one I’ve ever used. I did a lot of research into Cajun and I thought it would be a good idea to port it, get slide serrations and optics cut, pro package with flat trigger, barrel crown, and of course refinishing. 

Since I’ve gotten back, I’ve put almost 1k rounds through it. Besides the wait time (Cajun told me there was a huge problem with their third party refinishing), I have no issues with Cajun themselves. This is the first ported gun I’ve used, and I honestly couldn’t care less for it. Comparing it now to how I performed with it before I got the work done, I really don’t notice that much of a difference with recoil mitigation. It’s definitely louder, there’s more flash, and feeling unburnt powder. I read about all of this before getting the work done, but I didn’t think that’s something I would mind. In hindsight, I should have shot a ported gun before getting that work done on my own. The trigger pull is definitely better with a 3.5SA and 6.2DA. 

All being said, I would have just done optics cut and pro package. I don’t think all the money I spent on everything was worth it, but of course it’s a decision I will live with. I still enjoy it and it’s still one of my favorite shooters.
