rlrock Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I was wondering what 1911 in .40 would be good for USPSA Single Stack. I don't want a 9mm or .45, but want to use my .40 reloads. STI Trojan and Sig Match Elite are in my radar. I would appreciate any feedback and insight. Thanks.

motosapiens Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 i don't have a 40, but two of my shooting buddies have 40 trojans and they are quite happy with them. that would be the first place I would look. I have a 9mm sti and a 45 trojan, and I like them both alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr88 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Place a WTB for a Dan Wesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Place a WTB for a Dan Wesson. yeah, if i could find a wesson singlestack classic, I would go that route, but I looked around for a bit earlier this week on a whim and found zero of them. whereas you can get trojans all day long from dawson or brazos or someone else reputable.

jcc7x7 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Can't beat the Sig for the money Either would be a great as gun with minor adds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxj66 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I have a Trojan in 40, very happy with it. The sigs are nice guns as well. Pick the one you like the looks of and get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basman Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 STI Trojan in 40 with Tripp mags. Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrswanson1 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 RIA makes a single-stack in 40. You could also snag one of their 10mm 1911s and get a 40 barrel for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightops Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 RIA makes a single-stack in 40. You could also snag one of their 10mm 1911s and get a 40 barrel for it. Those are bull barreled guns, which is a no-go for full size in single stack. Which is a shame, because they would be good cheap fun otherwise.

rlrock Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thank you everyone for your help and input. From the sounds of it, I cannot go wrong with either one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hello: look at the Sig Max as well. The 45 I had ran great It did not quite fit my hand. I would try both it in your hand to see what fits. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3tech Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I've been shooting an STI Sentry .40 for about a year now in single stack and have been very pleased with it. The Sentry I believe is discontinued but there are other single stack options available from STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The only difficulty I had is finding the right mag. Wilsons ran like a top for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerattix Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I run a Trojan in .40 with Tripp mags. It runs great with factory 180 gr ammo, Blazer, CCI, Freedom Munitions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Trojan in .40S&W is solid. I made a minor adjustment to the extractor to change the ejection pattern a bit, but it didn't NEED to be done, just preference. Making the flip/catch easier. It has been functionally flawless, and shoots like a laser. It came with a lot of Checkmate mags, which have been totally reliable.

Bullets Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Go with the sti. I know im one of the few but sigs dont impress me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbecker Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Another vote for the Sig Max in 40. I have a Sig 1911 in 45 and I'm very happy with it's performance. I have handled the Sig Max at a gun store, its a nice gun with good features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Un4givin Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 STI Trojan in 40 with Tripp mags. Works great! This is the same setup I run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxer1 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The Trojan is a lot of gun for the money. Add a DP magwell to it and it is ready to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Thunder Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'd go for the Trojan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911A12011 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) STI Trojan is great. Then, get a Techwell magwell as well. Edited July 9, 2016 by 1911A12011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhounder Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Have a Sig Elite in 40 never a problem also A STI Sentry with the Brazo Competition parts, Koenig hammer and Sig flat trigger installed. never a problem with the Sig but can not say same for the Senrty(not going to complain here, when it runs runs great). Planning on selling the STI and buy a Sig Max in 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fischeac Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 A LGS in Ohio has a 40 Trojan on sale for around $950 (if I remembered correctly), brand new. Is that a deal, or just pretty normal pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
