tdp88 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Springfield are ramped and Colt are not ramped in 9. Can’t remember on the others I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaese490 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Try the Nowlin. They've been supportive of USPSA from what I've seen and have a great reputation for their barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Colt and RIA are the last bastion of plain 9mm barrels I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino_aki Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 My Taurus .38 Super was unramped, unsure if the 9mm is also, but it would seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hello: Could always have a non ramped barrel pistol rebarreled for a ramped barrel? Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGRIDER Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Springfield 9mm EMP4 definitely has the ramped barrel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHAVEGAS Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Baer. He refers to them as supported instead of ramped, not sure which lingo is most common. 58 minutes ago, Aircooled6racer said: Hello: Could always have a non ramped barrel pistol rebarreled for a ramped barrel? Thanks, Eric Interesting question. Is the frame on a ramped barrel gun cut for the ramp or does it start out life already dimensioned for it ?

Aircooled6racer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hello: Most frames are cut for the ramped barrel but a non ramped frame can be cut for a ramped barrel. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF that is your question. gun is /was/ way over priced for what they tried to shove down your throat. Like Caddy and Lincoln in the 80's and 90's they rode on their name and expected everybody to buy because it said STI on it. Their QC went down and the price went up. Cracked slides/frames. Frames out of spec etc. Life time warranty was great until they took 2-6monthes or more to get the pistol back to you. Or in a worse case scenario they denied the claim because you milled your slide to the exact specs of the DVC. Then said the slide was made to light due to the milling. I was a fan of STI for years but after 3-4 problems with both 2011 and 1911's and parts etc (slide mentioned above) I gave up on them. Went to CK and Pt for 2011 frames and Caspain for slides and 1911 frames. Best part is I don't know how their warranty is, BECAUSE I haven't needed it for the last 2 1/2 years because nothing has broke! Really wish you hadn't asked, I just went on a tirade!

jcc7x7 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hoping sti makes its way back to a great vendor. Dave Dawson is supposed to be coming back to help with that I'm led to believe. I hope it turns out for the best for them. Which will then be better for all of us. More good suppliers of guns and parts is best for all concerned.

MikeBurgess Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 it seems the newer RIA guns are ramped in 9mm now. I have a non ramped and a friend has a slightly newer one with a ramped barrel so they can be either way and you would need to look to be sure.

I have 2 STI's and they are great. A Trojan for 8 years (45) and a Ranger II 6 years (9mm). No problems with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
