Just got my second STI. It's an Off Duty 45acp 3". Anyone have any time with one?

[k9wh91984]

I have always wanted a lawman 4 but haven't pulled the trigger on it. STI makes good stuff, my Nighthawk is a STI frame.

[deerslayer]

Got a 9mm Trojan. You hear about a lot of drama with 9mm 1911s, but the Trojan has run like a Glock. Best $1K 1911 available. Will probably end up with a .40 Eagle someday.

Time I found STI, they had stopped makeing the rogue, which is the model I wanted. Now all they make are gigantic models that are just another big 1911 to me, and I have one of those already.

Do yourself a favor and go to the website and look at the " Off Duty" NOT a large gun at all..............

Yes, my other STI is a 9mm Tactical and I love it.................

Where are you finding any of these things?

I was on an STI kick a year or so ago and couldn't find anything, anywhere. A couple dealers I spoke to both told me that they could order what I wanted, but may be up to 6 months before it would arrive.

Outpost Armory in Murfreesboro has a few in the case. Last time I was in there they had a Trojan, Spartan, Edge, and maybe a Tactical. Originally, I found out they were STI dealers but they didn't have anything in stock, so I ordered my Trojan in hard chrome. 6 months later it came in, and aparently they saved on shipping by ordering a bunch of other stuff.

I will try them again later. Last time I ignored vipre, I discovered that kel tec's web site was indeed infested, and it took me 2 hours to get the offending cooties off the machine.

Guys, I found my STI Off Duty on Gun owners club.com and it was like new........ Good luck..

Everything I find there used seems to run about $100 more than new MSRP. I can usually order new through my dealer for way less than most I see on there. I also love the general discriptions you find - "blah blah blah is new in box, less than 100 rounds fired with no holster wear".

My definition of NIB is never having a round chambered. But technically when you left the shop with it, it's now used.

Vipre was just being stupid it looks like.

The "off duty" is listed at 7 inchs long. Clearly we have different ideas on what is small

Unfortunately, they don't make a pocket pistol, but in relation to other popular carry weapons, the Ruger LC9 is 6" and the Glock 26 is 6.5" so a 3" 1911 isn't that much bigger. FWIW, I'm pretty sure the Lawman replaced the Rogue, but brought it's length up to 6.5".

Yea, you have to get them on the phone and CHAT.LOL I go this STI for $875.00 and it has not one mark on it.

This is good news, I've been looking for a STI dealer. Maybe I'll go check them out next time I am home. Been wanting a Tactical as of late.

[Guest bulluck533]

Is anyone in the Knoxville area a STI dealer?

The one nearest to you is Mahoney's in Johnson City, 423-282-5413.

That is what STI's website said............ ; ^ )

The only experience I've had with STI was negative. I bought a 5" spartan in 9mm and was plagued with many issues. I finally gave up on it and sold it. I know it is their lesser model made in the phillipines but I expected more from it. Not having a ramped barrel and being chambered in 9mm probably had something to do with it.

With that said, I would like to try the Trojan in 9mm at some point.

[Guest HCRoadie]

This is my main carry gun. It is a Guardian in 9mm. Love it. Got it about 3 years ago for $900ish

Wow, did not know they made any other than Texas. My full size 9mm "Tactical" has been a Gem. I wish all my guns worked as well.... Good luck with the Trojan......

I believe the Spartan is the only model that isn't completely made in Texas. They outsource the frame and slide but the internals are Texas products. I just really wasn't impressed with it.

I actually just ordered a Kimber stainless in 9mm to give it a try. I've personally had great success with Kimber products and hope this gun will be no different. I will update with a range report when she arrives.

HOW did you post the photo, I guess I am just not smart enought to figure it out............ LOL LOL

[Guest swatcop50]

Was in Outpost today and they had a whole shelf full of STI's. From 9mm to 45acp in long and short barrells, couple of two tones as well. Prices were normal Outpost HIGH......... LOL But they DID have them............... ; ^ )
