Can you get a friends 2011 and scan it.....
Or get and Airsoft 2011 ( Hi Quality)......Just say'n.
-
I find that i can more "easily" shoot a tighter group with my SVI than my STI......same ammo ect
Now the guns are tuned up and yes the SVI is heavier....but the AET is just easier to get a tight grouping.....just say'n.
-
Nice.....I remember my unboxing
I hope you have lots of fun times together -
4000 rds and its just begining to break in....nice and smooth
-
I've got an STI 2011 Eagle that I'm planing on shooting in minor (.40)....
-
I'll shoot mine till it dies......then it's a rebuild.
-
Keep everything as is.....
Use a lighter load and change to a lighter main and hammer spring....no fuss no muss.
-
Steel is whats needed for a high round count gun.
Steel is real
-
If it's the plastic grip.....you may be better of getting anothe one.... or upgrading to an aftermarket model.
-
It's up to your imagination and wallet
Here's my STI Eagle 5.0......
And here's the utimate upgrade to my STI.....
-
Are they worth the $$....IMHO YESSS...Every pennys worth.
I am now using my SVI as my main gun with my STI as my back up.
Something about steel ( agressive texture or not) that you notice straight away....a total lack of "flex"...that's the only
way i can discribe it
My new SVI
My Original ( now back up STI)And before it starts.....7/10 of my STI mags WORK GREAT in my new SVI gun. without modification. -
It depends on what you want ot do to it....
This is my STI Eagle ( I've had an Edge also ) -
Still playing with my new SVI.....
I've found that some of my old STI mags seem to work fine in the new gun...Hmmmmmmm.
-
A "easy fix".....you get an SVI for you....your wife gets your current gun and gets into the USPSA or IPSC game.
Win Win

Clarke ...I have an original 6" .45 with the classic pin master comp for for giggles
-
Thanks' for all the feed back guys.
I'll post pics and a report of my day at the range with the new toy asap.
Till then stay toasty!

It's not as aggesive as you might think.
The biggest issue people have with the SVI Grip types is, apart from the co$t, that what does it feel like and is it the right size for your hand.
The very first mod I've done to my brand new gun is ....you guessed it...shave down the pedal on the RS Ambi safety...it was biting me and not allowing for a clean swipe of the safeties.
SO....is it perfect......maybe 99.9%....but the human factor is always an issue.
What would I have added ......maybe the DLC Coating... do all the accents in TIN....Go with a Sight Tracker layout and a 30 lpi serrations on the top of the slide......all of that would have easily pushed the gun into the 7G range.....and no mag.
Well, maybe on my next one....can someone say retirement gift
-
Thanks guys.
I know that the porcupine texture can be a tad aggesive....but you can always " knock them down a bit" to taste.
As for the price...the gun and 6 ( 10 round IPSC box rule) mags came to just under $6400 CDN
I just recieved the final paperwork....so now I can start the break in period......Brandon recomends aprox 1000 rds ( major PF ammo)
-
17 months and 6G...... well worth the wait
I can hardly wait to start breaking her in
-
-
I'll be taking possesion of my SVI very soon......and guess what
Brandon put a thumb rest on it ......
-
It's almost here.........
:devil: -
The STI Eagle is a decent gun.....but like everything ells, you can tailor it to your prefered taste.
1: Function tune up.
2: Magazine Tune up.
The rest is up to you.
Here's mine..........
-
Ok, onto the next one......BTW... my countdown is still on for my SV
2011 blueprint?
in 1911-style Pistols
