funkymonkey1111 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 There certainly isn't a stainless option for the Edge on the STI site--wonder if that's all they're discontinuing. I've got one on order--if they are stopping making them, I hope I get mine before the production stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one on order--if they are stopping making them, I hope I get mine before the production stops it's not stainless, it's Dawson's hard chromed version. The Edge has always been blued, to my knowledge, as it ships from STI. They used to make a model called the Executive which was a hard chromed Edge with a different roll mark.

KrymSIX Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 https://stiguns.com/product-lineup/edge/ Seems like the "old" Edge is being discontinued and relaunched. The Discontinued Edge is the one we all know with the Blue finish. The relaunched Edge looks like it's essentially the same gun except now with a black DLC finish. I don't know how difficult it is to refinish a DLC coated gun. That was one of the selling points of the Edge vs the DVC is you'd see people do all kinds of slide lightening get them running well and then refinish in something more durable. Not sure how easy that will be with the DLC finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Let’s see if it’s still out there after Shot Show. I’m pretty sure if Dawson is saying the Edge is discontinued, then the Edge is discontinued. I think DLC was the finish for all 2018.

shakazulu12 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Regarding a single stack legal gun, it was hinted as something likely to happen towards the middle of the year. I may have missed some other tidbits, I am not patient enough to sit through an hour so I just randomly forwarded to a few spots in the video.

Looks like they killed everything not in the “DVC” lineup and added a 4.15” tactical with different slide cuts. https://stiguns.com/product-lineup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschweg Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It's obvious that STI is trying to reinvent themselves to appeal to the more high end tacticool mainstream market. I'm sure you'll be able to buy cargo pants with that cute 2011 logo soon. I guess I can't really blame them for that business wise. Outside of competition, I've never met anybody who even knew what an STI was.If the Edge is gone, that's a real bummer. It was a great price point to get people into a good shooting 2011.What's the next option for a 2011 in the 2000-2500 range now?Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschweg Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Where is it? I am not seeing it when I click on “all guns”. Its not there anymore. I think what everyone is trying to figure out is if this pagehttps://stiguns.com/product-lineup/edge/Was there before and they removed the link because the gun is dead, or if it's a new page and they are relaunching the gun.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubadude Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I really hope they release a few new things at SHOT. If they get rid of the Edge and don’t replace it with something similar, that entire price segment will be gone from 2011s. If all they’re offering is $3,000 and up pistols, then I’d just tell everyone who asked me to savea few hundred more dollars for an Atlas or other custom shop gun. Now I’m going to be first in line for one of their John Wick 3 guns when those drop, so I’m not entirely anti STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Seehawer Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I’d go out on a limb and wonder how much the expiration of the 2011 frame patent hurt them. Up until a couple years ago, every single custom builder used their frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont1120 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just an outside opinion, there seems to be quite a bit of movement towards Carry Optics and PCC. I would venture to say the big sales have gone to CZ, SIG, and Glock to compete in the CO arena. STI has zero product to compete in that group. As far as single stack, local sales have trended over to the 9MM, or the old warhorse .45. It seems .40 is falling out of favor. It has no place in CO, PCC, or Open. I love my old STI Eagle in .45, but since Limited 10 has all but died, I dont have much use for it. Having rarely shot the Limited class, I have noted those moving to CO have come from Limited, the Production shooters seem to have stayed where they are at. So, maybe STI sees the writing on the wall, and from a business sense consolidation in troubled times makes a lot of sense. Gun sales will more then likely stay flat for two more years until the next election, and then watch out. I will bet the Dems will win the next election, and if you thought the last run on guns and reloading component was bad, watch out. buy early, buy often. STI may be making the right moves we just do not see yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a FB discussion with one of their "pro" shooters... the Edge has been discontinued for 2019 but he hinted that a replacement would be forthcoming in the not too distant future.
