Sidearms & Scatterguns Shot a sti today and I fell in love.

STI has made some pretty positive strides in their overall fit/finish/triggers in the last few years. That said, for todays STI cost, I wouldn't dismiss a custom build from a reputable smith.
Want one for our local falling steel matches to play on
Man they are sweet aren't they? I have been toying with the idea of scooping up a 2011 as my next pistol purchase but I just keep running rounds through my TRP operator.
I was looking at an STI and ended up going the custom route and picked up an Atlas. Excellent customer service and a great company to deal with
I have had a couple of 2011 STI pistols and can say my favorite one is the the Apeiro. I love the Shuman Island barrel design. The front site is on the barrel and moves very little. Plus the extra surface lockup on side to side is much better than the barrel hood can do. On the custom side look a Hayes Customs
Agreed! Mine is kind of a hybrid I guess as it has the new pattern on the grip but has the 2019 mag well and the full dust cover. Just looks more purpose built!I got 2019 p duo and i think its nicer than 2020 modelView attachment 7254912

I agree with this. For not much more than a DVC Limited I built this custom 6" in 9mm for 3 Gun.
Full dust cover, 6" KKM barrel, slide and frame from STI, trigger and fire controls from SVI, Ed Brown thumb and grip safety, Dawson Precision Ice Magwell. Polished up by Ford's in Florida. All built to my specs with my slide cuts versus off the shelf..
I have an STI Edge as well. Great shooter, just not nearly as sexy as my custom.

That STI is too clean! Dirty that thing up! Like a song from Slash, “time to dirty up your halo!” ?
I have several STI parts on my project 1911s but never had the money to buy one when I could (before the roster). Now I'm playing around with a 10mm converted Glock 21. I know it's not as nice but I'm not good enough with a pistol to take advantage of the difference.
Love my Staccato-C... Shoots as good (if not better) than my full size Nighthawk; and that’s saying something, especially for a compact/concealed carry pistol.
...yes, I tend to push my rounds to the left (especially at longer ranges) on speed drills...working on it!

That's a really nice pistol, probably makes for a nice daily carry gun.
Good shooting as well! I went pistol shooting for the first time in a long time a few nights ago, and holy hell did I suck. I was really pushing them left. I really need to hone down my pistol technique
fallen in love with less so yea sti is a great gun have you decided which kidney to part with yet ?
Love the Stacatto-C! Easy to carry and the included Long's Shadow holster is pretty nice!Love my Staccato-C... Shoots as good (if not better) than my full size Nighthawk; and that’s saying something, especially for a compact/concealed carry pistol.

yup... not enough finger pad on the trigger. Not an issue when I’m shooting slow, but get’s me almost every time when firing from the draw or doing speed drills unless I really, really focus on it. Getting better, but it’s been tougher than expected breaking this bad habit.
Hey @RollinCoal11? My wallet has a message for you. It's says "Knock it off!!!"
Thank God these aren't in stock anywhere at the moment!Sorry....LOLHey @RollinCoal11? My wallet has a message for you. It's says "Knock it off!!!"
I've had this 40S&W for 20 or so years. Had one of the first STI 38 Supers built by Dr Middlebrooks but sold it.
All good my man! The XC is on my list for sure and Nighthawk #2 should be here next weekend!
This. STI has priced themselves high and their warranty (as stated) is crap compared to before.
I have an STI Marauder, I like it and picked it up for under $1700. That said my next one will be a custom one. I'm looking at Warwick Tactical for that.
I love my STI Marauder, it has been perfect for 30k rounds, but at the price STI wants for a new DVC I’d pass on it, for 1500-2000 more you can have a Infinity, which I also have.
I figured it had something to do with my trigger technique.
It bugs me now, I want to go back to the range to experiment with some different hand and trigger finger placement and find something that works.
If you are drawing, it’s easy to get lost in the draw and presentation, and let your finger get to deep into the trigger well. I’m only talking 3/8” or so, then your trigger finger will push left a little as it’s stroking. I can get it right every time if I’m going slow and thinking about it, it’s when that damn start buzzer goes off and I’m trying to get ‘er done that I mess it up.
I had the opportunity to shoot most of the STI’s at one of their events. Really liked the DVC Omni. Then... Nighthawk released their double stack. Wow.
I haven't been paying attention but I think STI might be changing their products because the 2011 copyright or patent expired and third parties started making compatible frames.
For a custom race gun, it doesn't matter if the parts are genuine STI/SVI as long as they work.
For a carry gun, if they are bringing really high quality and a compelling feature set in a gun that looks really nice, they are going to appeal to the John Wick replica gun market for people who can't quite afford a TTI, people who want a pretty racy carry gun and people who just demand a double stack carry gun but don't like the Glock 21.

I played with the Staccato P today at my buddies gunshop. I have to admit to being a little disappointed with the weight. Its 7ozs heavier than my EDC 1911 in 45ACP. It's a commander length with an aluminum frame. Which means the Staccato grossly outweighs any polymer frame guns.
The steel frame came as a surprise. I really thought they were pushing for the carry market with this handgun. So I thought they would go aluminum. Maybe they are wanting the whole Tactical Timmy market with red dot, lasers and lights.
I have to rethink it now.

I’ve always wanted a slab long slide or perfect 10 from them.
I thought the staccato P was a polymer frame?

In Germany, STP still makes 1911/2011 pistols in a more sporty vein. I recall they had a connection with STI, before.
