I understand that STI's are not cheap and that not everyone can afford one or even two. I have been fortunate that I have received decent bonuses (for working 80+ hour weeks) both last year and this year. I am also very blessed that my wife is supportive of my hobby and that I am able to spend the bonuses on my hobby. Again I understand that not everyone is as fortunate, especially in the current economy. But while I have the money in hand I am going to get that backup gun.
