Vermilion Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Anyone seen one of these in person? Looking at picking one up as I've always wanted a 2011 and I want to carry it too. I've search almost every dealer, gunbroker, gunsamerica ad I could find and haven't turned up much of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustint21 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Check the STI dealer locator on the STI website. You may have to order one if not in stock. There is a 8 week lead time on this pistol. If your going to carry it often I would look at the "lite" version. I carry mine and love it, but I may be bias... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermilion Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah I was looking at the Lite version. On y'alls website under lite it says DS lite so wasn't quite sure what model was the right one. Do yall have a model number for Tactical Lite 4" regular barrel in 9mm? Might be easier to search or call people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 i've done a few idpa matches with my tactical lite 9mm 4.0 2011 to get used to it and function check it, and it has worked great. dustin, what holster(s) do you recommend for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermilion Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 There are threaded barrel and non threaded barrel models of this pistol right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustint21 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 You can get it threaded with night sights or non threaded and black Novak sights. I use a modified safariland 1911 holster or custom kydex I had made by a local guy. I also have the Bladetech DOH that works well with a 4" thread barrel or 5" non threaded.

Quack Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I don't have a lite, nor a threaded barrel, but I carry my Tac 4.15 AIWB in holsters made by Armiger Solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustint21 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Nice rig! I don't know what it is, but i have always b loved the look and feel of the 4" tactical. Even before I worked at STI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 this might be the most expensive thread I've ever opened... I used to be perfectly happy with my M&P pro for HD, but now looking at these little STIs I remember how nice a 2011 can be. I used to carry a 4" tactical 45 full weight frame, but it would just pull my pants down loaded up with all those rounds. nice powerhouse, but couldn't make it work for me.

Vermilion Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'll have to make sure to cinch my instructors belt extra tight then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermilion Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hmmm, go with an in stock Tactical 4" 9mm or wait 8-10 weeks for a Tactical Lite 4" 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) If it's to carry, wait for lightweight. It adds up after a long day. And I'm a fat guy, so I know that's true Edited April 16, 2015 by steviesterno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey333 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Quack that's a good looking pistol. What magwell is that? I just ordered a lite and I'd like to find a lower profile magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 On mine ? No magwell On the DS? Tactical magwell from STI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey333 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks Quack, I didn't know how the sti frame looked without the magwell. Edited May 11, 2015 by Trey333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy42 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Anyone have anything to say good/bad/ugly about these now that they have been out for a bit? Looking for a new EDC and I am really interested in these, however I have not heard any range reports other than davesco above saying his 9mm ran good in an IDPA match. I tend to favor .45 for EDC, but I am considering going .40 instead. Edited July 5, 2015 by Iggy42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelonassassin Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Forgive my lack of knowledge but does the pistol in the OP's post come in single stack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
