OOOHH, this looks interesting........(I'm not sure I am reading this correctly, but in his correction, he omits the Glock, and XD,........guess he doesn't particularly like them)
In Sgram #97, I asked: "Is the Distributor/Dealer network that STI currently works through ready yet for a polymer framed, DA/SA triggered and safetied gun, suitable for competition or carry, competitive with the foreign made XD's ( Croatia ) and Glocks ( Austria ) of the world?" The responses that I got were pretty mixed and probably of no real use to me because I asked the wrong question. The question should more properly have been asked as: "Is the Distributor/Dealer network that STI currently works through ready yet for a polymer framed, DA/SA triggered and safetied gun, suitable for competition or carry, competitive with the "FNH P-9 ", the "Browning Pro-9 ", the "H&K USP-9 ", the Walther "P99-9 ", and the "S&W M&P-9" ?" To be even more specific, the particulars would be as follows:
Caliber 9X19 only, at the moment
Trigger DA/SA or DAO
Trigger Pull 7.6#/5.6# standard in respective modes, SA. Adjustment avail. to 3.7# for sporting purposes
Capacity 15, 17, or 19 round magazines available
Overall Length 7.97"
Height 5.26"
Barrel Length 4.25"
Weight 26.1 oz. empty
Safeties Ambidextrous thumb, hammer block, firing pin
Slide 40RC, Chrome Moly, Front & Rear serrations
Frame 30RC, Chrome Moly steel
Grip Textured polymer with integral tactical rail
Sights Windage adjustable w/ key, F/O front available
Features Ambidextrous mag release and slide stop, internal extractor
Accessories Plastic case, 2 mags, cleaning rod, sight key
Optional Compact Model 3.66" barrel and 24.2 ounces
This one points like a real gun and doesn't recoil like a Glock!
