FowlShot Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm having the same decision problems without the state interference. I was thinking Brazos, Akai, or a local gun builder. Those all are 2800 and up. A friend of mine suggested getting a stock Edge and going from there. It may not be the best 2011 but its better than any polymer gun and very upgradable.

EkuJustice Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I am a fan of the 40 over the 9mm. 40 minor is extremely soft and flat shooting and works better on the heavy set steels spinners etc. You really are just giving up a couple rounds which isn't an issue for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Great advice Justice. I have been going back and forth. Now its just a matter of deciding which pistol to use. Those bedell's are nice also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I went with the STI marauder in 40. It has the short dust cover and bushing barrel so you can use it in limited, 3-gun, and IDPA esp. Plus, it has a rail if I ever hit up a night match. Seems like a great cross-games choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Jedi... I was looking at the same thing. What holster are you running on it? That's the only dilemma I could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendoman Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I would suggest buying frames now and build one from the ground up. You can buy one frame and have 2 uppers built for it (40 and 9) and I would recommend 1911 Speed Shop in Riverside, CA. +1 i just built a limited .40 from Jimmy @ 1911 speed shop he did a fantastic job... Bought frame from Phoenix trinity and Single shot exemptioned it.. You have toll Dec 31 to do it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulrick Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks for all the advice guys. I ended up going the used route since deal came along that I just couldn't pass up. Ill post pics when I pick it up, but I ended up getting a 6" Caspian hi-cap in .40. Built by Rich over at Canyon Creek Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think I saw that one listed... Great buy!!! I went used as well. Now I have GAS (Gun Acquisition Syndrome). It's a severe case!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulrick Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah Got it from another member here... Holy crap this is a smooth tight gun, not a single rattle or sound comes from it when you shake it. Can't wait to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulrick Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 nice, now where are the pictures Still have to wait 2 more days in this ass backwards state... so I can cool off, and not go commit a crime with a $3K custom pistol designed for competition that i just bought as opposed to the 40+ firearms I already own...

FowlShot Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Man that sucks. I hope you were able to thing long and hard about those actions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulrick Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 yeah its funny, back when I lived in WA I used to make irrational gun purchases due to being able to walk out that day with it in hand. Now in CA each purchase is deliberate and well thought out do to the laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo-Hombre Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Man, you hombres have it bad there. If I were in your shoes I would get as many raw frames as I could. Seems to me that in the not too distant future selling one of those frames in state FTF in accordance with the laws would make enough profit to build up a nice pistol. Good luck!

I hear you... the biggest bummer is that the state of CA only allows you one handgun per 30 day period. so unfortunately this was my last DROS of the year. on a side note I have found out that out of state grandparents can gift through in interfamilial transfer. Luckily my grandfather is still with us and lives in NC so I should be able to have him gift me a couple over the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Sad part is that CA actually has a ton of people interested in competitive shooting sports but our laws are really hurting the "new" guys to the sport. We have such an amazing 3-gun club here and some great USPSA ranges, but attendance from the younger crowd is definitely down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think hombre is right. You could also get someone to do a custom build off of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftc Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So did you get it? Post a pic! I got a couple STIs myself recently. Edge and marauder, just because of the SSE thing. Took a hit to the pocketbook but there's slim chances of getting one from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulrick Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Finally got around to taking a few pictures. Rich sure builds nice guns. I particularly like some of his detail work like his checkering on the rear of the slide, trigger guard and the slide lightening cuts. All in all an extremely tight gun,super soft shooting. The trigger is a thing of beauty. Edited December 27, 2014 by mulrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulrick Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks, finish is wearing from holster draws, but otherwise this is perfect. I actually might have it send out for coating in some sort of PVD... seems like there are plenty of new coating options with colors all over the place, other that the old black or gold.

zzt Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Congrats on the Hi-Capacity. That's what I'm going to end up with when I replace my current Limited gun. BTW, unless they fibbed on the timeline, Caspian will have a bunch of brand new 18-round reloadable 40 mags on the shelf starting today. I think they were around $75 each. The last time they had them they sold out almost immediately, so move quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
