Same advice for the Eagle as applies to your Edge, correct? Edited April 22, 2016 by 45 Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 To help the trigger a little try putting in a 17lb mainspring. I did that to my STI USPSA .45 ACP and it gave me a 3.5lb trigger pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 STI Tactical magwell. Consider changing recoil springs based on your loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 absolutely love my 9mm eagle in idpa, 2 and 3 gun, steel matches. you will too. mine is a dawson supertune (trigger and reliability) but don't think they do much if any of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I did not like the factory trigger in mine so it went. I added a magwell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaultthesalt Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 IMHO...Get the Maurader.It is a more versatile pistol. IDPA legal,can use for nite shoots,3Gun,tactical training and USPSA Limited Minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM83 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If you can find one for a good price the FDE Hex Tactical is slightly nicer than the marauder. It's the same base gun, but also comes with a tri-topped slide and hex serrations in the front and rear of the slide. The hexes look great and they are incredibly grippy. The newer black Hex Tacticals don't come with an adjustable rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYgunner Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) NIB 9mm STI Eagle 2011. 5" barrel. To be used for IDPA ESP and Limited in steel (no major/minor PF). After a front fiber optic sight, what other changes/additions/modifications are recommended? This depends on how far you want to go. If you just want to make it acceptable, then you will need to get a different magwell or grind the sides flat to make it IDPA legal. After that, as long as you have the correct mag button you are good to go. If you want to go further and still keep it IDPA legal, I would install EGW trigger components and have them tuned. I would also install an 8lb recoil spring and 15lb mainspring. If you want to optimize it as a steel gun, I would change the trigger components, disable the grip safety, replace the mainspring housing and change the springs.

v1911 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Tri top the slide, trigger job, STI tactical magwell, double undercut and stipple grip. Mostly just shoot the hell out of it and change things that suite your tastes and preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGMorden Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Love mine! If that started as a stock Eagle that's the best looking one I've seen yet . But yeah - undercut trigger guard and stippled grip I'd highly recommend. Trigger job and go shoot it. For USPSA I like an oversized mag release button but for IDPA you can't use that and for steel it's pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLethal Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 If you are sticking with the plastic grip, then undercut for sure. I'm running the PT aggressive and absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
