Aggieddad02 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) I have just taken delivery of my Gan's 2011 build and have been thinking about what to do for a backup gun. I have always had a backup gun, I had 2 M&P 40 Pros and I currently have 2 Tanfoglio Elite Limiteds. So last weekend while surfing the different gun sites I come across a pretty great deal on a brand new STI Edge and decided might as well. Took delivery of it today and ever since i made the decision to buy the Edge I have been making a list of improvements I plan to make to it. The list includes: Dawson FO front sight 160T x .100W STI Mag Release Oversized Button 4x40 Dawson Posi-Lock DP STI-SV 2011 HiCap Ice Magwell, Black SVI Trigger Body Wide Black SVI Short Flat Trigger In addition to these items I need to have the beaver-tail safety and the slide lock disabled and trigger job without approaching the cost of my custom built 2011. With the gun and the parts I am right at $2,000.00. Can I accomplish this and have I forgotten anything on my list for another $400 or $500?

mcbutler Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Walter, I have had every oversized mag button there is for my 1911 and 2011 STI. Just went to the Mitchell right side mag release on my STI and love it. Look into it. 7 weeks til the Mississippi Classic. See you then.

WrxGuy90 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The right side mag release, how much "getting used to" did that take??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Make sure it runs, and leave it alone IMO. If you add all those extras, you should just have Gary build you a backup gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggieddad02 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Gale, will plan on looking at this with you at the Classic. Looking forward to seeing the crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbutler Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The right side mag release, how much "getting used to" did that take??? It really seemed like a natural thing. I have small hands and mag releases have always been a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrxGuy90 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hmmm... Sounds like a worthy investment. Thanks for the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
