Marty you can buy an AET barrel for approx. 300 and a standard one for 200 something, all better options than STI factory.
I am not sure what the big deal is for new single stacks either, they make great 1911s but at 2000+ for a Trojan etc.; it makes more sense to buy frame and slide to do your own builds.
Curious, who's importing Schumann barrels into Canada these days?
you are right - factory STI barrels are great, and throwing one away thats still good to buy any other barrel is waste of good money. that being said however, if you need to spend money on a new barrel, IMHO there are a lot of better barrels available for same or less money than STI
per AET, you can read some pretty interesting (but dated) info here: schuemann.com/Portals/0/Documentation/Webfile_AET_BARRELS.pdf
The single-stack 1911 market is flooded. Everybody makes them.
Meanwhile; There's very few double-stack 2011 guns on the market.
I must admit I'm looking forward to seeing the new Remington 2011 line-up that's coming soon.

No. Every component in an SV is made by SV.My guess would be CRAFM?
I always thought that SV infinity have been using Schumann for their barrels.
I doubt that very highly.I will have to research my sources then, i was always told SV purchased Schumann barrel blanks which they chamber reamed and TiN coated themselves
HI; I got a PARA expert 9MM for 500ish dollars new. Shoots fine enough for IPSC. Did not know I needed a 4000 dollar gun to hit no shoots.
You can never be too baller when it comes to shooting no-shoots.
Have to remember, no one can see your hits in videos, but they can see your equipment.

That is the plan AFAIK today.Sean, you guys do confirm that STI is dropping the 1911 platform except for the dvc classic
Will STI still offer single stack bare frames and 5” bald slides with stirrup cut in front?
At least we could still build some using a quality base for slide and frame
That is the plan AFAIK today.
