ccoker Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Got a DVC limitted about a month ago and have put about 1k rounds through it.. Zero issues running all sorts of ammo when I first got it. I bought a case of Speer Lawman 147 and shot my first match in several years on Saturday. It is such an awesome pistol. Love it! Feels like you are cheating with it Edited February 27, 2019 by ccoker additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamesNotMike Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Glad you are enjoying it, I like my Limited in 40 a lot, great shooting gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrado_kid Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The dvc limited seem to be great guns but for a little extra you could pick up a custom gun with a metal grip unless you’re buying a dvc used. I tossed around buying a dvc or custom and ended up going with an Atlas titan. My shooting buddy has a dvc and has about 15k or so through his, ran great all season. It recently broke an ejector, guide rod and front sight came loose. It’s at Sti now getting all fixed up for this coming match season. They are taking care of everything for him and rechroming the ejector. Top notch customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrado_kid Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I almost bought one but went with a custom gun. I’d def buy a dvc as a back up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centuriator Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Did the one you purchase come with the Sight Island barrel? I just picked mine up yesterday and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoker Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Mine has the sight island barrel. I live in Austin and work for an IT solutions company.. got myself and my boss one in as part of data center overhaul.. I have been using a Wilson Combat Spec Ops 9, great gun and zero issues, had it for years.. but the STI is easier to shoot faster and hitting small steel plates at 25 yards is easy.. was out this morning with a buddy and he was banging 2" steel at 25 yards and was grinning.. If I was going to do a full custom I would get Aaron Hayes of Hayes Custom Guns to build it for me, known him for years. Having said that, I am confident that STI will take care of me if I have an issue. I have been all through their shops on numerous occasions and spoke with the guys building the guns. They all seem genuinely motivated to build great guns. The production manager came from Nighthawk and is driving to deliver consistency and tight tolerances. Hadn't shot a match in several years and haven't been shooting pistols at ALL the last few years. Pretty much use suppressors for all of my my shooting, long rang, a lot of hog hunting with suppressed ARs and thermal, deer, etc.. First match last weekend, I was trying to shoot accurately over fast.. one practice session of a few boxes and off to the match. The pistol stage I found a spot where I felt confident I could hit all the steel and went to work. Edited March 1, 2019 by ccoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB05 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I had one before selling it to get a custom 2011...the only issue i had with mine was the front sight coming loose. STI sent me a replacement , including FO rods. It is a nice gun for sure and the customer service was impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoker Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 I have custom rifles, so, I get it.. If at some point I feel it is holding me back or my needs/requirements dicate that I need (want ??) a full custom I will go that route. I just got a Dan Wesson Discretion threaded barrel 45 in too. Already have a Valor. DW makes nice guns. they should do a 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoker Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 oh yeah, forgot about those.. more than an STI though I am sure they are very well done.. My Valor has ran flawlessly since day 1 with all sorts of ammo.. The Discretion will be used for silence reviews.. took it out Wednesday and it ran great, shot some pigs with it and 250g hardcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoker Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 My buddy is LE and they sent the team one a few years ago. It was basically the Valor with a rail. can't recall the model They ran it hard (Marksmanship team), no failures. He was pig hunting with me last week and shot a beast of one with it!
