Wow! Im scared too ask the price tag but it looks like something id sell a few guns for im slowly comming around to front slide serrations
 
Only 2-3 more months until mine arrives. I picked up a bunch of mags too. Very expensive but if it is as good as I hear worth every penny.
 
Lol, I was going to send you a PM with some more pics B. It oozes quality, slide is tight, barrel is very well fit, trigger comes unadjusted but pull is very nice, balance is GREAT. The only thing I have seen so far that I don't like is the mags are a touch shorter than my 1911 and glock 10mm mags so some of my SWC play rounds don't feed well enough. It is minor, seating in another 0.05" or so will probably take care of it.

First testing will be tomorrow, if it shoots HALF as well as reviews I have heard I will be in heaven. STI makes beautiful pistols.
 
SWEEEET!!!
That is a beautiful pistol....I look forwad to a range report on that one.
What kind of wait for that? It has been on my short list for a while.
Can't beat STI's eh? Smooooth ...

What do you seat them out to? I typically seat a bit long at 1.260".
 
Any other 1911 pistols in 10mm available at a more reasonable price?

There aren't many. I have 2 STI's in 10mm. I had Armco hog out a and tune a Trojan into a 10mm, and now this monster. You could go with Colt Delta Elite and I think as Max Owner stated Kimber might still make one. The delta is still on my list, Wolverine quoted me $1300 brand new in stainless summer before last, doubt you will even get close to that now. :(

Tomorrow, ducking out of work early. :D

I had some at 1.250", some at 1.260" and some lead SWC at 1.272". Everything at 1.250" loads into the mags just fine. Some of the 1.260" do depending on nose design and none of the 1.272" load more than 3 before they jam. Fortunately the G20 eats the long stuff, would be a pain in the butt to run the 500 of these buggers through a seater again.

On a lighter note, the Perfect 10 top end fits flawlessly and SUPER tight onto my trojan. Even looks like it should belong there. :eek:
 
So I ran 3 mags through it at lunch today (benefit of working 5 minutes from the range ;) ). This pistol is super accurate, even for modest handloads developed for my G20. 25yrds was TOO easy to bust pop bottles. Follow up shots are quick and sights were bang on at this range.

The loads were only hot 40 short so gonna try something a bit heavier. If these results are typical I am going to have a hoot with it for 3gun.
