Debatiing on an STI Spartan?

[silverfoxdj]

here a decently high mileage review of the spartan

http://www.shooterready.ca/2013/06/21/14246-round-spartan-reportreview/

so no, no reason I can see not to buy one.

Hmm not a resounding endorsement IMHO

It shoots like a lazer! I'm a crappy shot and it makes me shoot like a pro.

Any pics how many rounds have you shot with it? Any hiccups?

Any reason not to pick this gun up in .45 ACP? Is it easy to get Wilson Combat or Chip Mags in Canada?

I went to a Gun intro club night last year, $20 shoot all guns they got there, they had
Glock
CZ
M&P
Kimber
Browning
Girsan
Taurus
Sti Spartan
Berreta

STI was the best one i shot

A guy was selling one of those last week at the gun show, asking $450.00 for just the gun.

Lol he must of seen EE pricing chart

I second that! TC

We have a club 9mm STI Spartan. It is amazing accurate and adjustable rear sights. It's a great gun.

That's why they call it a "Gun Show". It's usually low on their priority list, to actually sell a gun!

Your right, I guess he doesn't mind lugging it around every weekend.

Chalk me up as another happy customer. Although I've only put a few hundred through mine. One stove pipe, gun was a little dirty and a little dry

You can't beat the Canada ammo deal.

You can't beat the Canada ammo deal.

But you also cant compare a $179 Norc to a STI

I was talking about my spartan... I've bought one norinco in my life, a m14, I took it back and I won't buy another

+1 It's a topic thing

True, but in defence of the STI, it does have adj. sights.

Yes & its higher quality, fit nd finish are ages ahead.

I want a STI but one i want is $2700, so maybe after i sell the Deagle

Just ordered an STI Spartan V in .45 ACP. Did some research gonna have to get a steel mainspring housing but besides that I'm really looking forward to my first 1911 handgun in .45 ACP!

 

[enefgee]

Good choice, now take it out and shoot!

hmmm? I'm quite satisfied with my Spartan... even at my sort of high round count it keeps going with no issues. I had to replace one part but that's about it
