mike's m&p Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Does the bladetech doh holster come with the tall sight channel for the fiber optic use. I know on my glock one it didn't and the front sight rubs the the channel real bad. May have to contact bladetech about that one even though its a year old .

polizei1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I use the Blade-Tech SRB (DOH removed), with CR Speed belt/pouches. Awesome combo. And yes, the sight channel is tall, so no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Did it again, haven't got my trojan yet so today i ordered a spartan .45 CRP. Got the last one in stock they said, just have to have the crp package done to it and they will ship. they said maybe another week or so for the trojan. 2 new guns can't wait, just don't tell the WIFE.

EkuJustice Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Run a bladetech offset holster here for single stack. It is a bladetech stingray with the fixed width belt loop with longer screws and those 1 piece plastic shims between the holster and the bracket along with a tiny lock washer. It is solid and moves the holster away from the body while remaining legal for single stack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfowl-widowmaker Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 STI Trojan or Springfield Loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 I've only shot a trojan, held a springfield ro, was nice for the money, but glad I ordered both sti's. Can't wait for them to get here. My vote sti but I might be biais now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDD Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I have a Springfield loaded, and modded it quite heavily. It is a great gun and the company has great customer service. I did have a chance to shoot a sti Trojan though and it is pretty nice. I would probably go with the sti the 2nd time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator11 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Your going to love your Trojan. I have one and it's my favorite gun I have ever owned. Bought mine used for $750+20 to my ffl for the transfer. Best $770 I ever spent. Probably will pick another one up in 40 and 45 when I find another deal. Good luck and post a range report when you finally get it.

Bunsen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) I know I said the Trojan earlier, but if you're on a strict $1,000 budget, I would get a Spartan instead, IF you need the SS gear as well. I run an STI Spartan 9mm with CR Speed belt/pouches, Blade-Tech SRB/DOH (DOH removed), Dawson ICE no-gap magwell and Dawson magazines. This setup is just freaking awesome. I love the Dawson mags and magwell and would highly recommend it. You should be able to get the complete setup for under $1,000. I just got into the same set-up with a trojan for close to $1,300 but I also changed the grips and a few other things. It is a good set-up.

mike's m&p Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Well got to handle my spartan today it came in at my ffl. It's pretty tight not bad for the money sure will enjoy shooting it. Just have to get up to permit office and get on my permit sometime this week before I can take it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockdude1 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have a Sig 1911 Match Elite and i love it.....paid $899 for it on sale a few months ago... If the STI Trojan is anything like the STI Edge, it is probably a great choice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambluemax Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'd go Trojan first, but you can't go wrong between them. All Springfield parts are made in Brazil, NM frame guns like the ro, trp and such are assembled in the us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think STI offers a great value. I have had a Trojan and a Spartan. I prefer the Trojan as it fit my hand a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I own the Spartan in 9mm and .45 cal, as well as a Trojan 9mm. I ONLY use Tripp magazines (Cobra Mags). I use VZ Slim Grips on these. Dawson ICE magwell and base pads for the .45 ... went slimmer Smith Alexander for the 9mm's. All guns have been internally polished and/or tuned, reliability-checked by Tripp himself. David Cupp did the .45 polish. Super reliable guns. I shot the .45 cal outa the box in 2010 during an Ayoob qualifier finishing 4th highest (27 shhoters). Dusted it off 2 weeks ago and shot SS major - clean match. Nothing beats the price + reliability than the STI. It's a workhorse. I am small in stature and the .45 hardly recoils with 230 gr loads. Tiny hands, 4'11". I primarily shoot the Trojan 9mm but going to go back to the Spartan .45 in a classifier match to shoot major. Classified C shooting minor in an all classifier match after back surgery last October. STI rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well I got my trojan friday. Shot it today boy it shots nice. 2 new guns in a week and half, credit card can't take much more. I have one prblm with the spartan .45. I have 12 all new chip mccormick mags and 4 of them wont drop out of the magwell. I filed the base pads for clearance, they seem to bind up with the extended mag release in it. If I take all those mags and put them in the .40 trojan they all drop free. When i install the stock idpa legal mag release back in the the spartan all mags drop free. Must be a prblm with the extended release. Dawsons suppose to call me back monday. Both guns are nice but the trojan is real nice. hopefully can get this mag prblm straighted out been working on it most of the weekend. New guns new prblms, have to get the bugs worked out.
