jayb Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Dawson Precision still has STI Trojan 9mm and .45's in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I almost sold my Trojan the other day but I backed out on the sell. Went to send the guy pics and decided the gun would be too hard to replace. If you want one I would snatch one up. They are excellent guns. I used to and still do like springfields, but even the higher end ones that I have owned and/or handled were not fitted near as well as my sti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 RJH. I am in the same boat. Having a open gun built and selling off some guns I don't shoot. Trojan is one I bought it for my wife. Every time I pick it up I know I would miss that gun. it has less than 500 rounds through it. She racked the slide and slipped off it and cut herself up now wont shoot it.

GIO Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Crazy how the prices jumped to 1,300 this year. Still an Ok deal but pushing it. Just scored a lightly used 9mm Trojan on GB for a great price. Can't wait to run it in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverscooby27 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 STI DVC only 9mm now?! And 3k? What’s the point of that? I’m glad I bought a .45 Trojan Hard Chrome from Dawson the other day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I know lots of people love the Trojan, and I've had a couple, but I just don't like the fully ramped barrel in a 45. I had feeding issues with blunt shaped bullets like semi wadcutters. I tried all the major mags. The 40 was a feeding nightmare. Spend just a little more, and get a Dan Wesson. I listed most of my iron sight guns in the classified, but when I pulled out the PM9 from the safe, I put it right back. I'll be mostly blind before I sell it.

RangerTrace Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It's not just the Trojan. I've got single stack Infinity with a ramped barrel that won't feed the first round in an 8 round mag of speer gold dots. Which was a problem for a duty gun. The fix was to use extra power mag springs which turned the 8 round mag into a 7 round mag. No thanks. In it's defense, it would run ball ammo all day long.

Crazy Scientist Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I think the 1911 market is pretty well saturated, but it is sad to see STI pull out. For a long time their Spartan was a steal and the rest of their lineup compared well. Outside of the sport community I think they struggle with name recognition compared to Springfield/Kimber/Ruger/Sig. (say what you want about Kimber, but they have a TON of product out their to the public) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Desk Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The STI 1911 has become the standard by which all others are judged... or so it seems. They are classified as a factory custom.... And not custom shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
