Thank you, sir! I'll look into that this morning ... if they're answering the phone this week

You can buy an STI that is an STI built on a RIA frame for about $550. The Spartan.

Nah, no need for a Spartan. Truth is, a new trigger isn't necessary, I just prefer the aesthetics of a solid aluminum, GI style. I bought this gun with the idea that I'd customize it a bit. I've been interested in Cerakote but never had a gun I was willing to try it with.

The thing I *need* to address is that damn thumb safety. It literally hurts to operate it. Moreover, I don't need an ambi or anything that extended.

All in all, I think it's a right fine gun for $400 and I'm very happy I bought it!
