    Basically I'm happy with my ck's. 

     

    For not much more than an sti you get top shelf fire control parts and small parts (safety, slide stop etc). 

     

    Their steel grip is nice. I really like the texture but I do prefer the deeper rear on the pt evo or sv signature. 

     

    The guns seem to be fitted well. Much better than many recent sti's Ive played with. One of mine was especially tight to the point where I question it was too tight perhaps.

     

    i really like the finishes on them. Pvd is awesome though both of mine had some very small blemishes (one had pinprick spot on the grip, the other had 2 small blemishes on the barrel). 

     

    I like the balance of the gun with steel grip and titanium comp. 

     

    the gun shoots nicely and very flat but also not harsh (some flat shooting guns are very hard in the hand). Mine are 38 super and I run 3n38 which I'm sure contributes. 

     

    I do wish the triggers were nicer out of the box. All the parts for a great trigger are there but they clearly didn't take the time to 'set' each trigger. One of mine was quite long in both pre and overtravel and pulled about 2lb 8-10oz (from memory), it's also not perfectly 'crisp' so I think it needs some sear work on top of adjusting the travel and the sear spring. The other was also 2lb8oz but was nice and short and very crisp/clean breaking so that one can likely be set to 2lb with just some adjustment of the sear spring. 

     

    I think for the money and considering they're using top shelf bits a proper, nice 2lb trigger is a fair ask. Yes that likely means some time cutting the sear face and 30min adjusting and checking each gun but triggers are the tactile part of the gun and something people remember about 'nice' guns. 

     

    I also think a pinned grip safety would be nice on a competition marketed 'semi-custom'. But it's an easy fix. 

     

    I also wish their steel grip would accept regular 2011 magwells (no idea why they made it different). Same with mag catch though I 'think' normal 2011 catch will work you'd just need to shape the right side to match the grip contour there. I also think they should have done the steel grip to accept sv triggers or have it as an option. Changing trigger shoes is a nice way to tune the gun to the user. 

     

    So overall pretty happy.

     

    All the parts are high quality.

     

    The fit on important stuff is nice and a level above the average sti. 

     

    Finish is excellent. 

     

    The gun feels nice to shoot and so far has been very reliable with just a couple teething issues. 

     

    I think they do an excellent job of filling a gap in the market between say a $3k sti turbor and a $7k infinity custom. 

     

    I think most people would feel they are good value. 

    BeerBaron, Thank you so much for taking the time to do such a detailed review
    These agree with the improvements that advise.
    I did not know that the STI/SV magwell and triggers were not compatible !!!!

     

    Thanks a lot

  3. Where in Buenos Aires?

    I usually go down there at least 3-4 times per year.

    How easy or difficult will it be to fly with my gun and ammo? Will I need a special permit?

    Are you comming to the IPSC Nationals in Frostproof?

    The shooting range is only 10 minutes from Buenos Aires downtown.

    It is very easy travel with weapons and ammo to Argentina (no semi-auto rifle), if you come to shoot a Level 3 tournament, I can make the permit ( I the IPSC Argentina Secretary)

    And yes, I go to the IPSC National !!!!!! I shoot in Squad 4.

    See you there !!!!

  4. Never having shot an IPSC match before I have a question for Open division 170mm mags. I have read the rule book and searched this site but I'm still a little confused about what specifically is legal? Right now I have SVI mags and Dawson basepads. I have some 2mm SV basepads but when I measure them I can't really tell much difference in the length? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey t_telecom , see http://ipsc.org/pdf/RulesHandgun.pdf , pages 51 and 56 to to clarify your doubts.
