2o2ll Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ok, i'm about to get an Sti Eagle 5.5" which is the compensated version hopefully today in a trade. Anyone have any personal experience with them? If so were you pleased with the pistol? How much are they currently worth? this one has the c-more red dot as well. it seems to be in great condition with a machined finish. thank you for your time! oh yeah, its 38Super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I thought the Eagle was only ever an iron sighted gun. I would have to assume that is an old model before STI came out with dedicated open guns, or it has been extensively modified. I've never seen those rear cocking serrations on an eagle. As long as everything is still reasonable tight, and you have shot and function checked it, you should be good to go. I'm sure others will chime in.

StraightUp_OG Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 That is an old school custom 2 piece SS. It allows the slide stop itself to pivot on the pin without the pin pivoting. Not done much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2o2ll Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Someone help please! Finally had some time to go shoot it and it is piercing holes thru the primer. Shell ejects and feeds next round but the second round does not detonate. Just get a flat splat with indentation in primer but no bang. Any idea what's the problem? Thanks for any help!

38supPat Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Get different ammo, do not shoot what you have. Sounds like primer flow and blow out from over pressure rounds or soft primers. Try some fsctory first and see what happens then start loading with proper loading practices. Start with powder charges in the book and work up checking pressure signs and chrono as you go. Buy small rifle primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
