Taran Tactical JW3 Combat Master...

bc1023 · Apr 30, 2022

Got this last week and thought I'd post it here. Very well made and extremely slick action...

Looking forward to getting to the range.

Not familiar with those. Looks well made.
When can we expect a range report?

I'm still kicking myself for not buying the one I had a chance at. Who knew that STI would be a thing of the past shortly after those came out.

Doesn’t matter. STI is now Staccato and even better! The Staccato’s are outstanding!

I don't think the new Staccato brand is better at all. They're still good quality, I have a Staccato P that just had a comp installed and it's fine. My beef is that the variety STI offered is gone. No hard chrome, no purpose built models like the Steelmaster, DVC- O, DVC-L. The XC is basically the same as the DVC Omni. I get why they had to change their business plan, but ehh. They lost their desirability in a lot of ways.

STI had a lot of issues in the past, particularly with magazines. I believe that’s just one of the improvements.

But to each their own. Good video by LAV on the company evolution:

True, STI is the only brand if firearm I've ever owned that could require "tuning" of the magazines..haha My Staccato P mags have been fine, it is a fine pistol and I definitely don't a difference in quality.

I bought a STI DVC 3-Gun before they lost their name. Great gun! have not had to tune my mags yet.
