STI Trojan in 9mm

[olp73]

Hi

I recently bought a lightly used STI Trojan in 9mm. The pistol looks fine in every way but when I looked down the barrel I was kind of surprised. The throat of the bore looks very long. Does someone know if the barrels has an extra-long throat? Or are free-bored to accept longer than standard cartridges?

 

Usually you are able to see where the lances are ‘cut’ to make the throat, but not on this barrel. The barrel is highly polished inside witch make this harder to see.

Well. if it has already been throated, or has a long throat from the factory, you are in luck.  You can load your ammunition with more freedom for length than many of the posters here who have short throats.

 ..to be honest I am/was afraid that the barrel is worn, but the rest of the gun looks new. Maybe it has gotten a diet of steel jacket bullets or some other kind of crazy stuff.

I have a Trojan 9, and so do about 5 of my shooting buddies. We all run our ammo out to about. 1.160.

I have two of them and load my 9mm ammo at 1.15

They both shoot great and are extremely accurate - probably my two favorite guns to shoot.
