I currently have two STi EDGE in 40 and I can only say good things about them. I shoot matches every weekend, and 1 practice day per week. Of course it's not 100% stock, I've changed out the trigger to an SV with Enos insert, Koenig Hammer and a trigger job. They have been really reliable thus far. Most of my jams are usually ammo related and it is very rare. I estimate a jam every 2K to 3K rounds or so, and usually its ammo that did not fit the gauge getting mixed with my match ammo. Heck even those that doesn't fit the gauge goes boom 99% of the time. I can't really say that I was short changed by STi as I didn't experience anything wrong with my 2 pistols. Based from my experience, I wouldn't hesitate recommending an STi to anyone that plans to shoot competitively.
