Hello. I love their bullets; may I have a code? That'll allow me to buy more. =)

Ok. after playing with it a bit, I understand what you're saying 9mm. When the grip safety is depressed, it's still not a perfect line. It still breaks but it's no longer sharp. I just checked my other 1911 (a Sig Nitron) and it's likewise; it's a little less pronounced on the STI now but...

Hello. I'm trying to visualize this. Does this what you describe: A properly blended (as opposed to fitted) grip safety, should have the upper surface create a continuous line with the top of the rear tang...when the safety is at rest.

The gun is the same (I just changed the grips tonight). I'll admit, I guess I don't know enough about 1911s to appreciate the details for a grip safety. The first picture shows where it has that sharp edge/not flush so it would be painful to shoot. the last 2 pictures are the after pictures...

New barrel:

Gun was returned to me today! This is what was on the packing list: "I replaced the barrel, blended the grip safety, tuned the extractor, set the over travel and refinished the pistol. Test fire 3 mags no malfunctions." Wow, I didn't even ask for all the extra work; I'm impressed that they...

on the railed sig - I really don't want to have to send it to Sig. I need something to take the range! I carefully inspected the slide and removed 3 burrs that may have contributed to the premature wear on the frame. I then cleaned and put a light coat of regular paint on the slide. That'll...

I thought maybe the bore was just dirty so I cleaned it some more... then i took a jewelers loop and yep... it's got some pitting. I was told it was a safe queen. I guess it sat in the humid safe with no oil. I also carefully inspected the other railed sig (the one with the messed up rails)...

Hello. I picked up (2) used but LNIB Sig p220s. I purchased 2nd hand but went through the guns the best I could. From what I recall both guns looked OK. Especially the railed Sig's frame. I was telling my friend how the frame was all black. I did some deep cleaning after the range...

quesitons - - is that benched on sandbags? or prone with bipod? or benched with bipod? - how many in shot groups? (3, 5 or 10?) - tell us about your optic/mounts? - do you have a chrony? - have you tried a ladder test or OWC test?

Yes, my first choice was a Trojan as well but couldn't afford it at the moment. Eventually I'll get both. I have a thing for Greek/War movies like 300. =)

figuratively speaking. I meant I'll go shoot the thing and not worry about it getting dirty. =)

I packed up the STI into a box. The label from STI customer service arrived a few days ago. I'll ship it for the warranty work this week. I was able to take the STI along with the SIG to the range this week. (i wanted to test it so that I can report any other issues and be able to benchmark...

update: I sent a msg using STI's website last night; just a little before I posted this. I just got an email from Randy from STI; that was pretty fast! He asked for my address so that he can arrange for a pistol return. And he offered that I can send some pictures to his email as well...

Yep, that is logical. While the Sig could likely be my bullseye gun because it does shoot so well, I wanted something I wouldn't fret about if it really started to show wear/use. I wanted something quality but one that I wouldn't treat as a safe queen. And I just love that Sig. Not logical...
