Just picked up an STI GP6 from my favorite hardware store and got to shoot it today. I've usually been a low budget gun guy, mainly sticking to Taurus, Bersa, Sigma's, etc, but with a new job I finally can afford some nicer hardware. Anyways, this gun definitely lives up to the hype I have been reading about STI quality and performance. A very crisp and short trigger, very minimal muzzle rise and dead on accurate right out of the box. My only complaints about the gun is the slide release is out of range for thumb release action (being right handed), but the upside to that downside is the slide release is ambidextrous, so I can close the slide with my index finger. The DA trigger pull is a bit long and hard (giggity). The mag release button also takes a bit of effort, but im guessing will get better over time. My only question is if the longevity of the barrel is compromised at all due its rotating action?
