Julien Boit Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Hey all, I'm planning to purchase an STI tactical pistol .40sw Anyone tried one ? It will have dawson FO front sight and adjustable STI rear sight and surefire rail, all steel , blue finish. Any opinions ? DVC Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 http://www.speedshooter.com/product_detail.cfm?ID=SVP40ED1 Is it like this? I am partial to SV because of the interchangeable breechface, in case the rules change or I decide I want to do something different. I am having one of these built right now, and I think it cool way to go. I prefer a hardchrome finish, with the black polymer finish in the groves, Tripp Research, easy to clean, doesn't wear off. If you are going tactical are you going widebody? More bullets would be more "practical" in the real world right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbear38S Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 If you are going tactical are you going widebody? The STI Tactical is a variation of the STI 2011 which is a double stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Boit Posted January 20, 2003 Author Share Posted January 20, 2003 You can see it on the labcam from the STI website. It's a full profile, wideboby frame ,front and rear serrations and it can be had with surefire rail or socom rail. I like it all black and I think I'll get both sides of the slide polished to make a contrast but keeping the inside of the serrations black. It will only be for IPSC shooting DVC Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Julian, I'm not sure if that would go with a blue French shirt, but I'll check with my interior designer, P.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Julien, It is very similiar to what I am building and I think your are right to get the rail put on (good for night shooting and a big cool factor,) but I think you should get the frame fluted too, to match the front serations. The two tone black sound cool!!! I like black, but I haven't found one that I don't wear off Post a pict when you get it please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted January 20, 2003 Author Share Posted January 20, 2003 Phil, I'll have to renew my wardrobe but, that's life ! I don't like that much all the fluting thing, I rather like plain frame except for the rail of course ( the cool factor is what I care) for the finish, It doesn't matter, a friend of mine works very well when it comes to blueing parts.

kbear38S Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I was just on the phone with Dave Skinner and I remembered to ask him the approval status of the Tactical for Limited. He said it has been approved for both USPSA Limited and IPSC Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Kbear, Can we mount a flashlight on it and keep it legal also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbear38S Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Not for USPSA Limited or IPSC Standard. That would be interpreted as adding external weight for recoil control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves2Shoot Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Dang, I just don't want it to control recoil, the weight would be all messed up, I just think it would be cool to get some funny looks at a match shooting with the flashlight on. I guess I could mount a laser on it and shoot open class. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbear38S Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I just think it would be cool to get some funny looks at a match shooting with the flashlight on. IDPAers would think you were very tactical and hence, very cool. Then again you might get a FTDR. I guess I could mount a laser on it and shoot open class Open is a division, not a class.
