New Bullet Launcher,, First Time to Range

Post by Emmett »

I finalley got my STI Spartan 45 ACP (1911) on the range the other day. I put about 200 rounds down range without one single problem. That pistol shoots good. I had to adjust the rear sight up 3 clicks to be zeroed. From 12 ft. out to 25 ft. that thing shot some tight groups. I was very impressed with it, and would recomend it to anyone who is looking for a good quility 1911 for under $700.00.
My next 1911 will be the STI Escort 45 ACP.

Thanks for the report.

What made you choose the Spartan over some of the competition?

I looked around on the net, and everyone that had anything to say about the Spartan was nothing but good. When I looked at it at the local gun shop it felt really good in my hand, better then any other one I picked up. I was looking at all the Kimbers, and I was set on a Kimber (not a specific model), but after looking at and handling the Spartan, my mind was made up. And the fact that it has adjustable rear sights helped some.

I was also thinking about one. Where did you find an STI locally?

Good choice, I've had a Spartan since April of '07. I have put a couple of thousand rounds through it with no problems except it doesn't like Wilson mags :eek6 but it really likes McCormick, Novak, and MecGar mags. :woohoo

By the way, when were you in the 82nd? I was there in 1969-1970. I was a Red Hat (Rigger.)
