I became an STI collector tonight
Sort of by accident..... A guy had an STI escort in .45 for sale locally. I went to his house and started chatting. Turns out he is a movie producer and bought STI's for props. They have the actors pretend to shoot, he says he always has them blink or squint to add realism. The digital effects simulate the firing, muzzle blast etc.
He says he has the actors fire a real 1911 and then they have to simulate the recoil for the shot (film shoot) and the computer does the rest. They have never been fired, only pretend fired. Turns out he was asking 800 bucks for a new 22oz. Escort that sells for 1200 bucks most everywhere when you can find them. He mentioned he actually had three............now he has none and I'm broke for the moment. The little guns are tight with a nice trigger and have exemplary reviews. Looks like a fair amount of attention to detail and fitting. Off to the froglube and the hair dryer. I've got 1911's on my back....
