my latest 10mm

[rjinaz85308]

it is an STI VIP that started out as a 40 S&W.  I had Reeder Custom in Flagstaff re-chamber it to 10mm.  Shoots like a dream, and looks good doing it<G>

Aww man STI takes the cake on Billboarding a firearm. I would have insisted on no lettering.

[rjinaz85308]

yeah but when it's in the holster they can't see that and when it's pointed at them they don't care.

SO.....VERY......JEALOUS.

Quick story.

About 4 years ago, maybe a bit more, we had just gotten our tax refund.  It was large that year.  Wife and I were out and about and ran into a good friend of mine from LEO days.  He is still with a multi-juridictional agency in our state and had just been issued an AR-15.  I commented that I still needed to add one to the arsenal. And then smiled at my wife.  And she smiled back.  With a look that told me "Drive to the gun store now and I won't miss $1000 at all".

So, off I went to the gun store.  Immediately.  But, when I came out with a rifle case she was suddenly confused.  See, we had been in that store two days earlier, and I had commented on an STI VIP they had used in the case.  That is what she thought I was going to buy.

And, I still regret that a bit to this day.  The AR-15 was short lived.  It was sold to fund the purchase of two M1 Garands.  So, I guess it has all worked out.

But that is a gorgeous gun!

Nice gun.  And another option for getting a 10mm platform.

Tell us more. The VIP has various options for the frame, slide and barrel.

[rjinaz85308]

It is a basic VIP. Bull barrel with heavy recoil masteer with an aluminum frame. Given the light weight I probably wont shoot a steady diet of real hot loads. I still need to check POA/POI
