Glock or sti


Recommended Posts

Depends on what you're doing with the gun ...

For shooting Limited, an STI in .40 Major offers quite a bit of advantage to most people

(most top rated shooters are using the STI).

The trigger is much better - the weight helps absorb recoil.

But, $$money$$ ? That's very personal - if you make $10/hour and have to work

6 weeks to earn an STI, you might well want to start with a Glock that is only one

weeks worth of salary.

And, if you have been shooting a Glock for 20 years, you might have a tough time

adjusting to the STI...

You can definitely win a race with the STI, but get ready to tinker.  There is something inherently appealing about the simplicity of the Glock and its operation.  That being said, I would never pass up a good deal on an STI!

It depends on you.

1.  Do you like having "the best"?  People shoot the 2011 platform for a reason, but it is expensive.  If you get a Glock, and you are the type of person who will always have it in the back of your mind that you really wanted the STI, you'll probably end up with the STI at some point anyway.  The more expensive option than getting the 2011 is to kid yourself into buying other things and then eventually ending up with the 2011 anyway.

2.  Do you like to tinker?  If not, you should probably avoid the 2011 platform.  Seems most people have to play with loads, springs, magazines and on and on to get their 2011 running like a well oiled machine.  If you just want something that works without having to play with it and get it tuned, a Glock is probably the better choice.

 

At the end of the day, it's the Indian and not the arrow, but that doesn't mean a nicer arrow can't help to some extent, but that extent will not be the difference between first and last...or even first and tenth.

I think it is worth it having shot both.

Don't be afraid to buy a used STI Edge or similar.

Oftentimes they need a little "tuning" out of the box and buying a used one means that someone else has gone through that already.
