I wonder at witch model do the internals change from or differ from the Spartan ?
I've been reading a bit about globalization recently (Tom Friedman's The World Is Flat is a really interesting read...though exhaustively long) and it seems the picture is a lot more complicated than just "give those jobs to Americans." It is pretty easy to end up with a company benefiting the American worker MORE by putting some portion of the work flow overseas, than to hold everything here in the 'States and have to be a much less productive company employing FEWER workers here on balance.Personally, I think its kinda crappy to the American worker that they would take a box of parts and ship it elsewhere so it can be shipped back here to be sold. Surely they could pay Americans to do the same thing?

That topic gets way outside our scope at THR, but it is worth studying if you're concerned with such issues.
Without having asked that specific question of the factory, it would be hard to give a definitive answer...it is part of the weakness of knowing a bit more than some about the 1911; you don't ask for answers that don't really make a difference.I wonder at witch model do the internals change from or differ from the Spartan ?
...depends on what you mean by solid?But for the price
What's inside the STI Spartan?
Bullets.
Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks that's funny.
MIM parts....
How about 2.5" at 50 yards with sub $1000 Ruger SR1911? - http://www.1911addicts.com/showthread.php?982-Ruger-SR1911-Reviewtuj said:My Spartan will hold 5" 10-shot groups with quality ammo at 50 yards from a rest. I don't know many 1911's under $1000 that will consistently do that.
