Thanks everyone for confirming my decision to stick with the spartan. It has been a great gun just want to tweak it just a little bit to better fit me.

I have had this Sti Spartan for a few years now and have resently started shooting local steel matches and some USPSA matches. The only thing i have done to it is add a EGW mainspring housing with mag well. I am wanting to have a trigger job done with a new trigger as well change the front sight and pick up a better set of grips and a oversized mag release or extened . Would it be worth it to put the extra money in to the Spartan or Buy a Trojan and then i would probally do the same changes to it. I have been looking at the Egw trigger kit any feed back on this ? Thank for any feed back any recommendation would be great as well.

Are you shooting Tuesday steel at Rio Salado? A friend of mine uses an old Colt Gold Cup with 230 gr. LRN and 3.5 gr. Trail Boss - you can almost see the bullet going downrange. I believe he uses a 10 lnb. recoil spring. The steel goes down without any problems. Yes thats where i went i am going to play with the Sti Spartan and use it for steel and keep the Kimber as my carry gun.

I have the 45acp Spartan. But I will diffently look into the Dawson front sight that has been one of my only complaints is that I feel I pick up the sight a little faster on my Kimber. With a little more practice with the Spartan I think it will be solid for me in single stack. I was looking at a speed chute or mag well I had to reload twice in each stage last week.

I have been shooting the raptor the most lately but i shoot both about equally i would say. If i was going to invest anymore more money in to a gun to improve it i was planing on the Spartan.

I have been thinking about picking up a 9mm for it but it is just not in the budget at the time so i am trying to work with what i already have. But i will probably switch at some point.

Hi I went to my first Tuesday night steel match this week and had a tun of fun. Now i am trying to decide which gun i should use with the plans that if i was going to modify or make improvements to which would be the best to start with. So i have a Kimber Pro Raptor II and the Sti Spartan both in 45acp. I reload all my own ammo as well so is it better to shoot minor loads for Tuesday night steel ? Thanks
