Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. New here, been shooting for a few years and I have decided to start competing in IDPA. First I had my hear set on an STI Trojan in 9mm, then I heard that they don't run as reliably as the 45ACP. Then I decided to go with a Glock 34. Tried one out, hated the grip. Then I wanted an S&W MP9 Pro. Tried one, didn't really like the trigger (I understand it can be swapped out for a better one like the Apex). Then I wanted a CZ Custom. Can't find them anywhere, long wait times and more expensive than I was expecting. So now I am lost yet again on what to get. I'm shooting a Colt GI at the moment but I want a poly gun for competition so I ended up at the K100 MK7. Don't remember how I heard of them but I remembered that the STI GP6 was well reviewed. I go to the STI site and low and behold, STI pulled the rug out and stopped importing them. Well that sucks. Everything I read said the gun shot like a lazer, super reliable, comfy in the hand, affordable. I guess they didn't sell. Of course the smart thing to do would be to go with a Glock or M&P since its what everyone else runs and wins with but I have always had a thing for obscure guns and I like the idea of kicking but at the range with a gun few have heard of. A stupid reason I know but I think I'm settling on the K100. Now I can't imagine that Century will have the same level of support as STI and I was much more comfortable about the gun when it was an STI import but things change. Any idea if the STI version had a better trigger than the current MK7? I did get in contact with Dina over at Century and she did tell me that they were looking to import all the competition models such as the X-Calibur (the one I really want). If their prices are similar to the Canadian dealers, the X-Calibur should come in slightly under $900 which sounds like a steal for a gun with a 5" rotating bull barrel and a slide with weight reduction cuts and and 3 -3.5 pound short reset DA/SA trigger. I hope these guns take off here because they are cleaning up in Europe but they remain virtually unknown in the States. But I guess it took the CZ a while to catch on so who knows. In my eyes, it is the perfect IDPA USPSA gun. As soon as the X-Calibur comes in, i'm pulling the trigger. Why have these not caught on yet?
