STI 1911 pistols
First off, let me confirm the rumours, STI is indeed getting out of the single stack game! They have only one single stack model this year, the DVC Classic (more on this in a minute).
New from STI this year is the DVC Omni, which combines the features from many of their popular guns into one. For example, it has the H.O.S.T. mount for red dots, a compensator like the Costa (and others), front sight mounted to the barrel etc. The gun was so popular at range day that I did not get a chance to shoot it as it had to go off the line to get cleaned and oiled!
I did however get to shoot the single stack DVC Classic in 9mm.
As well as the Chris Costa with compensator and wow, what a difference the comp makes! The 147 grain through the Costa felt softer than the 115 grain through the DVC Classic!
Here are a few more from STI’s booth such as the Marauder
Edge
Black and tan Hex Tac
But my favourite of their lineup was the DVC Open…that charging handle is insane! Plus you can unscrew it and mount it on the other side if you prefer.
