Fireant Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Anybody seen/shot one? Is there any reason to pick that one over say a Trojan and fix it the way you want it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Knowing how hard we all work our competition guns ....... I would only purchase one as a memento. I like to not worry about dings and scratches on my 'work' guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 I kind of had that thought in mind, but the last memento gun I bought I could not resist and shot the crap out of it. So, it would be a working gun, not a look at me in the safe gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If you dont mind the extra high price tag (remember a portion of the price goes to USPSA Juniors Prog.) then by all means shoot the crap out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I do have to say I love the look of the “Sabertooth” cocking serrations, and it is available in .40 (which will be my next Single Stack purchase). I only have a Spartan and it only comes in .45. A minor oversight considering the $600 price tag. So I am keeping my eye on the Trojan until I can come up with the cash. But you could almost buy 2 Trojans for the price of the USPSA model. You can CERTAINLY pick up a Trojan in your favorite caliber .... put as many bells & whistles as you can think of on it, and send it off to be hard chromed if you so desired ...... all for less than the USPSA model. But you have that COOL factor with the other ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks Chris, I always seem to over things like that. The cool factor is nice, but I'd like some money left over also. I have a Trojan in .40 and I think it needs a sister in .45 since I don't own a SS 45 and have been told everyone should have at least one.

zhunter Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 But you have that COOL factor with the other ........ And that is a VERY important factor too!!! For those of us that can't shoot for sh!t, we gotta try to look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Wonder Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If you are going to spend that much on a single stack, consider adding a few hundred more dollars and getting a top quality single stack from Nighthawk Custom or Wilson Combat. With the number of re-occuring issues displayed in the forums about issues with STI single stacks, why not spend a little more and get a top of the line pistol instead?

Nemo Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Fireant, The STI USPSA single stack is the same as their Sentinel model, except for the cocking serrations and the engraving. The donation to the junior program behind the purchase of USPSA model is noble purpose, but you could donate to the program by other means, get the same gun and save some $$ in the process.

Fireant Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks Nemo. SSW, Thanks and if all the money were coming from my pocket I might consider that. A large chunk of the money is coming from the STI contengency program, so I'm dancing with the one that brought me. I want something to play SS and CDP with so that's why I'm going with a 45.

zhunter Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 45 is the way to go!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 For what its worth, keep in mind that another reason the USPSA single stack (and the Lawman / Sentinal / Legacy) is more expensive is because it is built on STIs forged frame, whereas the Trojan is built on the cast frame. --Which may mean nothing-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 FWIW, here is the gun in question: MSRP: About $1800 (actual $1796.00 plus transfer and applicable taxes). www.stiguns.com I am just sore they beat me to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuietMan2 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Take a peek at Fusion Firearms. I am making adjustments to their 5609 offering starting with .40 cal and a SVI magwell. http://www.fusionfirearms.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireant, I bought a Trojan 45 from Dawson and had him do his magic to it with his enhancement package and I love. Had Ed Brown ambi wide safeties installed and SVI magwell. Here is some pic. Soon it will be sent for hard chroming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetJunkie Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Saw one the other day. Very nice gun. Fit was very tight and smooth. I've seen it shoot two matches with zero problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
