I thought there was a 7 day (Or some period) wait.. Or did you have to buy it earlier and finally picked it up? I know the Trojans are top notch and recommend them constantly..

dogtired Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have had mine for a month or two. I bought some Metalform mags and they work ok (what STI sends with the gun), I ordered an EGW mag release and am waiting on that. I am shooting 180 grain lead at 950 and had some hang ups on feeding the last match I shot during the last two stages. I think the lube, lead and tight chamber caught up with me, I need to run the bore snake thru between stages. I added a Fusion Chainlink mainspring housing/magwell and changed the grips. It really is a tight and accurate gun, I have been keeping it well lubed for the break in period and think it is a great gun. Chainlink mainspring and front strap.

RePete Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Great gun for SS, but not for IDPA. Why not? I use 40S&W for ESP without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Tripp Research 10rd System mags and they fit the box. I also reload and have shot using a PF of 175, but have recently load to a PF of 149.

steel1212 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Great gun for SS, but not for IDPA. Why not? I use 40S&W for ESP without issue. post #18 Chad, those that run the flex follower can get 10 rounds in the magazine. It takes a well tuned gun to run like that and a nice roundy bullet but it does work. When I shoot my gun in ESP I just load 9+1, I have the hybrids so I can only get 9 in the mags anyway.

gunfixer Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Great gun for SS, but not for IDPA. Why not? I use 40S&W for ESP without issue. I do the same w/ my 9mm Trojan.. Almost feels like cheating..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40S&W Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I shoot a custom Hard Chromed (beadblasted to matte) 40 S&W: Mod 70 Colt Lower, STI Slide (stainless), Kart unsuported barrel with fitted bushing. Wilson mag catch & slide release, 2.5 lb. trigger. The Tripp 10mm mags with steel followers that I have (9rnd.) do hold 10 rounds with a slight bit of forcing the 10th round into the mag. I can get 10+1 to start with 10 reloadable using the Tripp 10mm HV Stainless mags. My gun will go to slide lock & load from the Tripp 10mm HV Stainless mags with 10 rounds from slide lock reliably. I prefer to shoot without going to slide lock so I have five of the same mags setup so there is no slide lock, I prefer to count my shots & reload. I shoot IDPA ESP, USPSA L-10 & SS (8 rnd. Stainless Mec-Gar mags) with this gun shooting major loads. My OAL is 1.131. Use Berry 155gr. HBRN over 5.0gr. of Titegroup and get an average 168.21 PF. My shorter OAL is what feeds reliably in my gun. Round nose bullets are part of the secret to reliable feeding. Although my gun will feed reliably truncated & semi-truncated bullets as well. Spent alot of time & money to have a reliable shoot every time 40 S&W gun. I shoot my 40 S&W at the same speed with better accuracy than my custom Loaded SA 9mm Stainless Target. I'm probably a little too complacent with the 9mm and don't drive it like the 40. The Trojan is a good gun to start with & with a little time, money & experimentation it will be a great gun & reliable shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaeOne3345 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) STI is NOT on the DOJ list. I just checked... So what? Do a single shot shot exemption. Nothing prevents you from converting the pistol back to semi automatic once the 10 day wait period is over. I have an STI 2011 in my name like this. I am not LEO. And I did not get the pistol transferred from someone in CA who already had it. There are ways around the "safe" roster.
