818-DVC Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Buy a mil spec springer, and put $500 in it. You will have a gun that rivals everything for $9-1100. Buy a Spartan and put $3-500. your in the same position financially, and one says STI on it. While I would love to cut a target master frame to STD spec, I can't for logistical reasons, And I'm not good enough for contingency $$ so I like to build on Springers and RIA's.

You're as good as you think you are. even if you are a D class shooter, as long as you beat the other D class guys, you can win with the STI program. You dont have to win the match to have it count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
818-DVC Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 It's a joke. I'm not in it for contincency money. What % of shooters are shooting STI for the contingency money? I assume very few. They shoot STI framed guns because they like the tripp design more than caspian or Para hi cap. Can't buy SV frames anymore, but you can buy STI polymer gripped 2011 frames. The frame and a jersey is all you need to win money, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

818-DVC Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 It actually looks like a fun rimfire steel gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik S. Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 STI, Springfield, Kimber - in that order. Yep...and have to give a +1 to the STI Trojan with FO sight and ambi safety from shooters connection. Crisp trigger from the factory but it's a little "wobbly" up and down and it's nylon. If that doesn't bother you, it's 100% ready to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame and a jersey is all you need to win money, right? Wide bodies yes, in my opinion they are better than Caspian and para but that is a personal preference. In SS I've shot only Springfields for years but I'll be shooting a STI framed gun after SS nats just for the contingency chance alone. Granted mine won't be factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalaur Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Every 1911 is different, even the same model and make from the same manufacturer. You might get a bunked one, you might get a good one. IMO the best 1911 you can get is the one that you like, you can afford, and most importantly, the one you *practice* and train with. Some 1911s are like certain types of ammo, some will eat anything. You need to find what ammo and mags work best with your gun, and practice practice practice :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.H.M. Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The Trojan seems to get great reviews. I will have to find someone to let me try one out. My cheap Springfield Mil Spec has run perfect with cheap ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay1911 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I vote for Dan Wesson. Quality parts, very tight frame to slide and barrel fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Shooter Wannabe Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I have a Springfield TRP that I picked up unfired but sitting in a safe for $950. It is dead nuts accurate. just my two cents. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XDman Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Is there any advantage to using the 40 s&w over the 45acp? What are the top shooters using, and what caliber for a L10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkatz44 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think one of the benifits of using 40 is because you can use the same load for both your limited and single stack gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik S. Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Is there any advantage to using the 40 s&w over the 45acp? What are the top shooters using, and what caliber for a L10? Most L10 run the .40SW. *edit* OOPS! Totally blanked that as "limited, not limited 10". I can't say what most are running for L10. As the above gentleman said, using the same load for both guns is a plus. A buddy of mine even has an STI trojan in .38 super. Don't see many of those, but I bet it shoots sweet.
