Whoops!

Please move to 10mm handguns.

It looks very neat and the Bull barrel will help. I guess it's 9+1?

I would think so on the capacity. I like the bull barrel feature myself, and the support.

It might make a nice retirement present to myself when the day comes.

  I still can't for the life of me figure out why STI billboards all their firearms. Not what I am willing to pay for in a $1500 pistol  :o

I hear ya. I guess if you are not a well known company you feel the need to do such things.

Well at least it's only "Nitro 10" on the slide and not "STI Nitro 10"

Because its a 1911.  If you are going to make a 1911 and there are 99 other manufacturers doing that too, how do you set yours apart???

Put lipstick on it!!!

Definitely a nice looking pistol! Those are some massive slide serrations, bet you know it when you grab a hold of that baby  :o

Really nice. The billboard doesn't bother me as its nowhere near as bad as some of the others out there.

Website says 8+1.

I guess I don't get the clamor for STI to make a 5" 1911 10mm.  The market is pretty well stocked with companies making 5" 1911's in 10mm.  RIA, Kimber, Dan Wesson, Colt come immediately to mind.

That is lacking, the real void, is a high quality non-plastic hi-cap 10mm handgun.  EAA Witness standard line is great when they run, but enough bad press to make you think twice.  Plus, it is a big, heavy gun.  The Elite series are great if you can find them.

But if you have a 2011 itch, nothing really out there to scratch it.  I guess you could buy an STI Eagle in 40 and have it reamed.  But seems to me like a no brainer for them to catalog it and make them on a special order basis.

Rant off.

It is a very nice looking gun, and I have no doubt it is well executed.

This baby is on my short list!!! :P

That's a sweet piece! I always thought the STI's were more expensive. You can't go wrong with that. I think the the capacity issue is overrated. You have very potent ammo in a very accurate platform. Unless you're holding the line in an invasion.
Stay frosty!
