Loves2Shoot Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I got a Trojan for a customer and we were quite disappointed. The trigger rattled and was so poorly adjsted you had to pull VERY hard to drop the hammer. The thing wouldn't feed ANY ammo. I spent a couple hours making it right, but for the $1200 he spent you would think you would get a functional gun. Is this a "built on a Friday" thing or has anyone else experienced this? I would rather build up something right than go in and fix up someone elses product. It is quite nice now, but for the $ he has into it now, I could have made him a nicer Caspian.

Merlin Orr Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Absolutely NOT the norm for a Trojan. Most (all) the ones I have dealt with were at least good and some excellent in "out of the box" condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral404 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The Trojan is a accurate gun but... It needs works. If it is in bad shape call Chris at STI and send it back. The .40 is particuarily picky. Send it off to Benny or Virgil to get to run in a reliable fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precision40 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 but for the $1200 he spent you would think you would get a functional gun. You are exactly right, I've had 2 new factory STI's that were junk, so I got on the phone to Chris and he was more than happy to help, but still, I wont ever buy a factory STI again.

Loves2Shoot Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) I know how to make a SS .40 work and I already fixed that, replaced the trigger components with EGW, reamed the chamber, tuned everything else and it is very sweet now. I was just wondering if my expectations were too high or if there were others out there noticing the same things or if I got a lemon. The trigger was un-usable IMO, the gun didn't feed ammo from the factory mags unless you only loaded 3 round with several different types of ammo and bullet profiles, and then it was iffy to get them all to feed, and not at all with the Tripp mags.

Putty Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I have seen Lovestoshoots work. Very good. Exceptional, in fact. My standard procedure will be to send him any "new" gun I get for reliability work. I have an SVI widey that needed alot of work and may still need a new barrel fit as the rear bomar is as high as it will go , even with a low front site. Barsto here I come.

sandman_sy Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Oh man! Hope my Trojan gets here in better shape than yours. Or i have to send it back, halfway around the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Had a brand new one come in the shop about 2 weeks ago with a very hard trigger pull. Simple fix, trigger bow was bent. Others I have worked on looked to be very good pistols, but from everything I hear they are good or bad, seems to be little in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
