Whats the story on Apeirio?

So on the website, STI says they no longer take orders for Apeirios. Have they been discontinued? I saw one today in person, and its the first one i ever saw. Edges are common. I like that barrel on Apeirio, but is it worth it over Edge?

I have been shooting glocks and the 2011 are looking very very tempting...

Barrel availability - they can't get enough of the barrels to meet demand. You'd think though with STI making their own parts that they could just make their own Schuemann style barrel for the guns - unless that's still under patent or something.

I actually saw one new in box go on Gunbroker a few weeks ago for $2250. Wanted it, but didn't have the cash in hand at the time the auction ended so I had to pass.

They're still hitting dealers in dribs and drabs, I'm guessing as STI fills the rest of their old orders. Reds Trading Post had a couple on Gunbroker last week in 9, 40, and 45.

Not sure they'll go up in value as a prior STI post in another thread seemed to indicate they'd make more if they could get barrels, but the thought did make plunking down the bucks on one last week a bit easier.

So this begs the question- Apeiro or DVC? Similar price except for better mags. Is the sight tracker "better" then slide cuts?

I used quotations since its the indian,not the arrow in most cases, but lets play here :)

I had the same quandary. Couldn't find an Apeiro anywhere, but the DVC price was so close I put a deposit on a DVC. Then, an Apeiro hit gunbroker, and I thought -

Apeiro gets here tomorrow, couple MBX mags show up Thursday. Should hold me over til The DVC comes in. Time to hit the press.

Does the Apiero have better mags? I know little of the care and feeding of 2011's, but I know I want have one.

Just because of this thread I now know what the Apiero was about. I always thought the apiero was bad ass looking, but I didn't know what a Schumann island barrel was, now I do, and I want one. Damn you internet

I think he was referring to the DVC coming with "better mags". Not really better quality-wise, but the Apeiro (like the Edge) comes with 1 126mm mag and the DVC comes with 2 140mm mags.

I am new to 2011s and not a competitive shooter.

How does the Apeiro compare to the SVI Infinity Sight Tracker? (aside from ± $2K diff)

Just looking at them the Sight Tracker looks to have much more refined grips.

I have one STI, a custom shop 10mm 6" with Schumann Island barrel. I'm sold on the island barrel's accuracy. I have handled the STI Legend which is pretty much an Apeiro sans Schumann Island barrel.

Are there other 2011 makers that do island barrels with nicer grips than STI?

I like the Apeiro but I hate to take sandpaper to a $2½K gun and I hate that I need to take sandpaper to a $2½K gun
