Mlunyou Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Has anyone shot a STI tactical in a 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yes. A 5.0 Tactical in 9mm. Extensively. Initially had an extractor problem but STI sent me a new one and the problem was solved. About 1500 rounds in, the hammer began to follow, and I adjusted the left leaf of the sear spring. Zero problems from that day forward until I sold the pistol and replaced it with an STI Eagle 5.0. Only about 500-600 rounds on that pistol so far (zero problems), as I have been shooting CZ 75 Shadows for the last 1 1/2 - 2 years. I very much like the STI pistol, and apparently I have been fortunate enough to own a couple that were not plagued by unacceptable quality control issues that others have referenced on this forum.

retiredshooter Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Have to ask what your using it for . Self defense no because of reliability. But when they run they are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descartian Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I have 4 STI Tacticals. 2 of the 4.15” barreled Tacticals in 9mm, one of the older models that now sports an Alma Cole worked over Silica Carbide grip and a 2018+ model with the Extreme Shooters grip and DLC coating. What do do you want to know about them? I don’t carry either of them as I have a bunch of other STI carry guns but they are my most shot guns at the range.

Mlunyou Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I’m interested in shooting Uspsa with one in limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 the downside to 9mm in uspsa limited is you are shooting minor power factor so have a slight scoring disadvantage. so most shoot 40 in limited to not have that scoring disadvantage. 9mm is perfect for 2 & 3 gun and the various steel matches that don't have major power factor scoring. that said, 9mm is fun and cheap and lower recoil so go for it!
