rjkelso Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would like a STI. Can't have one. Barsto is 2475.00. Sig 226 X5 .40cal is available, they look nice, and feel nice. Never shot one. They are less than 2k for the Competition model. I'm not in a hurry. Please advise. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trail3 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I also live in Ca and your choice is limited. I went with a Glock 35 for a while and them went to a Para 1640 limited. There was one listed on calguns.net Stainless steel, with a fitted 45 cal upper. Not a bad deal. CZ Tactical Sport is also a great choice and one of the best values.

PINMAN44 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sir: The Sigs are reliable but I don't think that they are worth that much cash. They are nice but that is alot of money especially for a firearm you haven't handled before. If your interested in it you should go feel one out. There are tons of nice options in the way of limited in my opinion. Para may be an option if you like a wide body style 1911. I'm not sure what is on your gun roster in Cali though. You can buy a nice Para limited for low cost. The guys may bash me on this but I shoot everything from ST's To Sv's and I still love the way para's feel. But it's a personal preference and I suggest you feel out as many options as you can before you make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINMAN44 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here ya go bro: You can buy them for about 900$ Slap a Dawson mag well on their and your in business.

rjkelso Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 I never thought about it that way. Thanks Pinman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINMAN44 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey bro just trying to give you some options, but def. feel out and shoot as many different firearms as you can. Don't hesitate to shoot something just because everyone else does. Its what fits you the best, and what works reliably, and has an ass load of capacity. Hope this helps.

Larry White Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The Barsto is a STI under cover.-----------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomface Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 It is legal to private party transfer a pistol that is already in the state. Other than the Bar-Sto, this is the only way to get a STI in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You may want to give SV a call. Later, Chuck PS: The only fat guns that will be "cheap" in Ca are Glocks, Paras, and Cz. If you want S_I, get out the personal lubricant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken hebert Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Doesn't Kommie-fornia have a mag capacity thing in place? If he is buying a Glock, EAA, CZ, or S_I then how is he going to get 19-21 rd capacity mags unless buying them from another individual? Sort of defeats the purpose of limited...? Of course you could always move to Texas we got plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotle Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You may as well get a nice single stack and shoot it in L10. How does that work anyhow in Cali? Lots of folks bought before the ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimberacp Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I live in Calif. and own a SV that I bought 14 yrs ago. But I wanted to try a steel frame gun. Bought a Para with the PXT extractor and SA magwell, had a 2 lb. trigger job done on it with tool steel parts and had the mag catch welded at a muffler shop, fitted it myself and using my SV mags. The gun shoots with a stock barrel and bushing easily a 2" or less at 25 yds. 180gr, OAL 1.175 with 4.5 TG. The deal with the L10 idea is that, would you think here in Calif, there would be alot of shooters doing it and even more so with new guys coming into the sport but its not TRUE!!!!!! Most make their way into Limited or Open! Get a Para make the S_I mags work, in case, you do get a S_I, in the future and enjoy the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjkelso Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Right now I'm shooting single stack and enjoying it. Those limited guns are really sexy. I'll move in that direction when I've fleshed out SS and Production. Thanks everyone Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Best to just bite the bullet and get a Barsto or SV. If stick with the sport you'll probally end up getting one in the end after spending twice the cost of one on 3 or 4 "starter" guns like I did.

D.Hayden Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah. I can just start saving up for it. So I can get an SV here in CA?
