asr1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Good afternoon all Lately been thinking of buying the above pistoll. I was wondering if any one knows if the frame is made of steel or alloy? The reason I am asking I see few offerd with light alloy. Is ther any change in the specs between the tactical 5.0 if it was made in 2012 or curent production? I like the Edge but I think the tactical might be dual purpose pistoll. Also is this pistol has hight demand on it just in case it happen the I could not get used to it. I was shooting Para ord p-14 limited for long time then I went to Glock 35 gen 4 and been thinking about the STI lately Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any member can advise if the steel frame ones desirable in the shooting market? I don't think they are stamped. Other than a magnet and being able to tell by weight I'm not sure there is a physical difference. http://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/STI-40-Tactical-LITE-40-Stocked-Item-P2516.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJPLEO Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have the Tactical 3.0 steel framed .40 and love it. It has eaten everything since day 1, no FTE's or FTF's. It's my "gamer" gun for IDPA, too much fun. Good luck, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
