Default 2013 Duty One



Somehow this tacticool pistol appeals to my anti tacticool sensibilities. Enough that I've got my deposit in place and one of the first off the line will hit my FFL in the next couple weeks. Who knew I'd ever be interested in a railed 1911 with FCS.

The folks at STI were great! They even divulged the identity of the shop that's first in line to receive'm. I called them up and secured one of their first shipment which is only weeks out.

Best news is that 2013 MSRP is actually lower than 2012 MSRP - can't beat that with a stick. I'm also thrilled to become the owner of a 1911 made in TX. I jad plans to acquire a STI this year - just gonna get it a little sooner than planned.

Congrats Dred!!!

There is nothing at all wrong with FCS and a rail. Those that do not like them have probably never even owned a 1911 with them!!

The ones that I have are great.

Nice Dred!

We need pictures! Preferably dirty pictures.

5.0 as in 50 gi or 5" barrel. Not a bad looking pistol by any means.

Congratulations!!! Love STI! I'm like the look of the gun. I don't see a problem with a rail. It is like a full dustcover. Cool checkering. STI gives you allot of gun for the money. Kinda like DW.
