Sean_ht Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Has anyone experienced shooting with the STI DVC CLASSIC, the 1911 STI? The price is par with some of the custom built 1911. Is it really that much better than D.W. PM9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yigal Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 DW has 5" barrel and STI DVC CLASSIC come with 5.4" bushing or bull barrel. this sti is very nice gun.but DW more simple and better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_ht Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Wow, so the PM9 with almost half the price of STI DVC-Classic has a better quality?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschweg Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 From what I remember there were also some issues with this gun being overweight for SS right out of the box.Nothing that can't be fixed, but just something else to consider.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot one in 40, and I think it probably is an advantage there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_ht Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I read somewhere that for the weight issue of STI, I need to change the recoil rod with an aluminium version. So at the price range of the STI DVC-Classic 1911, could you please share your suggest/s for the SS division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use an aluminium mainspring housing or at least that what I did when my Trojan didn't make . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
