Truegent2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 When ordering my new STI EDGE, my gunsmith asked me what type of serrations I wanted on the front and rear slide. I had no idea. All I've ever owned is glock so the decision was always made for me. I'm assuming that most of you have the same cut on the rear and front, but all opinions (and justifications) are welcome.

the duck of death Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 The fewer you get/inch the easier the slide is to grip. Getting front serrations is a personal thing. I don't mind having them in front and sometimes they come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 .125 serrations are about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Forget the serrations altogether. Have them mill a recess and use skateboard tape. You'll laugh right up until you try it and realize how nice it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Boit Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I really like the STI front and rear serrations. Despite I only use the front one. They are large, you can easily grip them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 If you like Glock serrations, you'll probably like STI serrations. I prefer Caspian and Springfield serrations. SV serrations aren't bad, either. Basically, any style but STI. Now, to address, a pet peeve you touched on... An STI Edge is a pistol built in the STI factory in Georgetown, TX. If your local smith or Benny Hill or Ross Carter or whoever builds a gun just like the STI Edge, it's a custom gun, not an Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I really like the standard wide STI serrations front and rear. Mine are so sharp it feels like you could shave with them, BUT despite several years of heavy use I've never cut myself on them. Yeah, yeah I know, what would I know about shaving! Seriously, I like the way the gun looks with front and rear serrations and I like they way the wide serrations work. If I wanted skateboard tape, I would still be riding my skateboard. I'm not spending $K dollars for a gun that looks like a "Junkyard Wars" gun, I want "Star Wars"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
