I have the 4.25 and the 5.0 inch with an SRO on top. The Stl’s and stacattos are not getting much action as of lately. The prodigy’s shoot really good. Trying to decide which to shoot at Double Tap this year is kinda hard. Going to shoot open minor just for fun. I have 1000 rounds through both. Really impressed with them for the price.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience with this gun. I am definitely interested in one. What are the lead times for this pistol?

It’s been a few years since I have been, but in the past the themed style stages were really fun! If they open it up to limited optics I am going back! Robert Porter always puts on a good match.

Happy Easter! He is Risen! Hope everyone is enjoying family, friends, food, the Masters, and a nap! Joe

Thanks!

@WestPat that mpa looks great! do you guys feel that a 4.25 inch gun is a disadvantage for LO? I have a staccato p and a prodigy that will work, but I have have never shot a gun that short in competition before. Most is my Matches have been shot with 6 inch limited guns ? joe

Love it! pastor joe

I actually drill a hole in the center of the IPSC box standard base pad and use the sti star keeper. Works great. I have used them this way on my 9mm and 40 since 2006. It makes getting the base pad off so much easier too.

Sorry , double post

I got a good laugh at the picture of the sti that had the sight put on backwards! I was shooting my dvc limited 9mm yesterday that only has about 3000 rounds down the pipe and the front sight fell out! Those 6 inch plates were tough to hit with no front sight! This is after I had to fix several other issues with this gun to get it to run out of the box. Come on STI.... you are making us look bad in front of the CZ and Tanfoglio shooters.... this dvc cost almost as much as some of my custom guns built by Virgil Tripp. Virgil, if you are reading this, your old company could use some help!

I am a Pastor in Texas that loves to shoot IDPA/USPSA/3 Gun. Everyday I spend time praying for individuals. I would like to pray for fellow shooters. If you need prayer please post your prayer here or send me a pm. Blessings.

That would be nice! Anyone else have experience replacing the factory fixed sight with an adjustable sight?

Thats great to hear! Does, anyone know why sti put a narrow dust cover on this model. Seem like a good idea, just don’t understand why not the full wide cover ? I am assuming to help make weight in IDPA?

What bullet are you loading?How long are you loading your 9mm rounds. Glad to see that yours has been trouble free. The price of the Hawk sure makes it seem to be a good buy. Does the wide cut in the rear sight bother you? Are the fixed sights adjusted close enough for your liking ?

RFP, Please let us know how you like the new sight! The Hawk seems to be a solid platform.

Anyone have any experience with the Sti 2011 hawk? Likes or dislikes?

They hammer steel. 9mm,40, 45 all work when the sights are lined up! Enjoy!

Thanks to all! I hope you all have a great weekend! Spring Break starts here for me today so the party starts at 3:30. Anyone passing through Amarillo stop by for a beer or 20. joe

That looks neat. What are you going to do with it when you are done?

I was using 4.7 grains of titegroup and a 165 grain zero hollow point in the 6inch unit and it was awsome. Switched to the 180 grain and the gun did not feel as fast. With the 165 grainers the gun was always waiting for me.

The best thing that you can really do is go try one. I had Virgil Tripp build me a bad _ _ _ 6 inch limited gun because I thought it was going to be the magic thing. This gun is beautiful, lightened, and is super accurate. I will be going back to the 5 inch gun this year because no matter what you do to a 6 inch gun it still does not balance (feel) like a good 5 inch gun. I am lucky enough to still have pretty good eye sight and really feel that I could pick up targets faster with my five inch units. I have decided that it is the shooter and not the gun. So for now I am whipping out the big 5 inch !! Cons snappier they do not feel as good longer to get on target Pros accurate less powder to make major ( more recoil to me ) great on long range steel and tight shots This is only my opinion.
