jjwestbrook Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 looking for a 2011 in 9mm would like it to be IDPA legal. so far looked at the STI Eagle 5.0 and it appears that the STI maurauder is IDPA legal . ESP class anyway. any ones that I am missing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) If you can find one, the VIP and Tac 3.0 is ESP and CCP legal. Either of those and the Eagle included would qualify for CDP in .45. Edited July 17, 2015 by v1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboywoody Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Buddy shoots an eagle in ESP. Sti's are great guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarakian Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Para 18.9 is legal in ESP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robport Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Cool, because I was told that the 18.9 was too heavy, it's magwell was too wide, and it wouldn't fit in the box with standard basepads. That's not a bad looking pistol...and the price right now is very reasonable. ______________________________________________________________ whoops, on further research...it may take a little work to make weight and width. I may be guilty of hearing what I wanted to hear. Oh well. Edited July 28, 2015 by robport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjwestbrook Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 ended up getting a screaming deal on an STI eagle in .40 I am very pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm working on this too. What mags? 126mm? What basepads and magwell? Wedges? Any reason to not have an Edge frame trimmed back to meet ESP rules and turned into a rail? And drop in a bushing barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 ended up getting a screaming deal on an STI eagle in .40 I am very pleased Congrats! I'm working on this too. What mags? 126mm? What basepads and magwell? Wedges? Any reason to not have an Edge frame trimmed back to meet ESP rules and turned into a rail? And drop in a bushing barrel? 126mm mags. I prefer the STI Tac magwell. I'm sure there are others that will also work. And I also prefer the International basepads (wedges) from Dawson. And yes, you could trim down your Edge, mill a light rail and install a bushing barrel. Pricey project, but I'm not exactly the voice of reason, so don't forget the aftermarket aluminum grip too!

racknrider Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 JJ, too bad Junior beats you with your new gun. Lol Does cutting the frame back on an Edge fall into the same category as cutting down a barrel to fit CCP, which is not allowed? Question has been submitted to HQ, hoping for a clarification.

SWprotected Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Congrats, the Eagle in .40 is a sweet shooting gun. I have been using one for the last year. It also serves as a backup for my Edge for USPSA. I had an aluminum magwell cut down to fit the box, and standard 126mm mags work fine, but you can use the wedge basepads and still fit the box.

FF423 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I now wish I got my eagle in .40 to have a back up gun for USPSA but the 9mm shoots so soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWprotected Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think the .40 with minor loads is probably as soft shooting as it gets. My loads run about 150pf and the front sight really does not move much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racknrider Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 What mag wells fit the box? The STI tactical mag well fits. I think most of the others have to be machined to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Ok. Then what basepads on the 126's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racknrider Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I run the tactical mag well with factory 126s in my Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWNZRO Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 You can also have someone trim down an aluminum STI mag well to fit the box. That gives you more real estate than the tactical. The CK Arms Aluminum grip kit will fit the box as well but they're only available to CKA frame owners right now. They have a dedicated CNC making grips so they should be available soon.

FF423 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I use the aluminum STI magwell shaved down and I use stock STI base pads I am going to modify the magwell further to allow me to grab a mag out if it gets stuck just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgj3 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks, v! I was thinking those might be the ticket. One last thing, I notice that Dawson has another model of "wedge" pad. https://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=8000005D-1388517801 What's the difference? I've tried calling DP, but no luck yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I think the one you linked are the ones I'm actually using, but in black. The ridges on the side match what I'm running. I may be mistaken, but the EZ have the hole in them for the retainer to pop into just like the stock base pads. Edit: FYI, Looks like DP has a new website up and running and is offering free shipping if you go through the new site.
