STI Marauder questions

[steviesterno]

hey all, 

checking out a Marauder tomorrow. I've been looking for either one of those for a while but had never seen in real life. I was also looking towards an STI tactical in 9mm. I want something good for steel matches, 3 gun, night matches, Home defense, and zombie invasions. Sometimes 20+ rounds of 9mm makes more sense than 8 rounds of 45. I have the chance to trade into it, and I haven't owned any STIs recently. I have owned a 4.0 Tactical and full custom 40 6" when I used to shoot USPSA. 

anything I should check out or pay attention to? I already have 3 mags and it comes with one more. 

 

I imagine finding a holster that works with a light will be tricky, and I'm thinking it's too big to conceal carry but that's ok.

A Marauder would be great for what you mentioned.As far as holsters.....look at RizGear.The Bladetech that fits the STI Edge 2011 will work with the maurauder.The Safariland 579 GLS will work with slight mods.This holster is good for 3Gun.

Check your current holsters.  I'm able to use the same large frame BladeTech holster for SS, Limited and Production.

 

For steel, you'll generally want more mags loaded only to 8-10 rounds and change mags for each of the 5 strings.  It's less weight to swing between targets, and more importantly ... you won't run out of ammo on a stage since you're starting each stage with a full mag.

appreciate the pointers, but the guy bailed on the deal... so no need to order anything quite yet
