JasonS Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 STI Trojan, from either Brazo's or Dawson. If you search on it, you'll find this question gets asked and answered a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover0020 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 In October I bought an STI Trojan from shooters connection and love it. It is a great gun that I have had zero problems with. To date I have put about 2000 rounds through it, and it shoots great. Hope this aids in your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHunz Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 STI Trojan. Mine was massaged by Virgil Tripp and runs perfectly. Getting one from any of the afore mentioned dealers won't be a wrong decision at all. The basic pistol will cost you about $1k, but the options are limitless for upgrades...

Rig Magician Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks everyone for the info. I may wait for a couple of months to get one. I won't have alot of time of this time home. So I will with till I get home next time in March. I am looking at the trojan to upgrade later or the USPSA that would need less done to it. I will see then.

71Commander Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I went a different route. A friend of mine wanted to build a pin gun using a Hi-cap Para frame. He got a P16-40 Limited. I bought the complete upper for 400.00. I then bought a Para GI Expert for 550.00. I took the frame and sold the upper for 350.00. Milled out the frame to accept the Para barrel and assembled it. Only took some minor tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rig Magician Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Nice guns guys. JasonS and 71commander who makes those grips. They look allot better than the stock rose wood grips. One more question guys. where do you get your mags from. I would like to get 8 and 10 round mags. I am having a hard time finding them. Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mark I run Chip McCormick nine-round 10mm mags in my .40 Trojan. They're a LITTLE cheaper than Wilsons or Tripps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mark I like the looks of those VZ grips too, but keep in mind that if you're close to not making it under the weight limit, aftermarket grips made from heavier materials can be a big factor. Just a word to the wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EduardoM Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 there's a new Sig Sauer in SS configuration in .40 caliber developed with/for Max Michel jr , worth considering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Commander Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I have decided to convert my 40, from post 9 above, into a 10mm. I had a 4" S&W M610 and I loved it. Not for competition but loved the round. I can go heavy with the 220 gr. bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmcc Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Is the Sig already out? I looks good but the MSRP is $1700. I just wonder what the real price is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I asked about a Sig for single stack a while back and was told they're not legal for SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMV Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I asked about a Sig for single stack a while back and was told they're not legal for SS. Any 1911 pattern gun that makes weight and fits the box is SS legal regardless of manufacturer unless I missed something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EduardoM Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 the SIG is on their web site already , should be on the market i guess by now , not sure about the price hopefully is less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmcc Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 the SIG is on their web site already , should be on the market i guess by now , not sure about the price hopefully is less I checked my local gun store and gunbroker today and couldn't find anything on the Sig. My FFL checked 4 suppliers with no avail. When will the Para be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revopop Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It might be worth waiting for the Sig. I just got a Sig 1911 Traditional Compact, and my father in law was so impressed with it he ordered a Sig 1911 Traditional Match. Both of them are a helluva lot of gun for the money.
