Looking at STI Apeiro's

[bry@n 195]

So, I'm thinking this race gun stuff makes it way more easier to shoot and I think I am going to buy one. Anybody have an comments on them? Own one?

 

I was thinking 38 super, but if they make it in .40, that would be great also.

STI makes great guns!

[tommy3rd 132]

Yeah, but isn't that a $2500 gun?

[Maksim 1,504]

but absolutely worth it. It is avail in 9mm, 40, 38 super and 45. Match ready out of the box.

BTW, it is my next gun. Would sell the hk's for it.

And don't forget the optics and comps...

[bry@n 195]

optics and compressors are just part of it though.

 

It will also help narrow down to just one gun.

great guns..decide what type of shooting yo will be doing so that your order can be configured to your specs....i would stay away from 38 super....9 and 40 is the way to go...most competition shooters are using 40's.

Ok, if you want to shoot limited, get it in 40s&w. You can load for major and be fine with it. If you plan on shooting open, you will need a different gun altogether. Consider a 9mm based open gun(9 major) Granted there are more powder choices for 38 super/supercomp, but you MUSt be a brass whore after you shoot. New 38 super/supercomp brass costs @ $125 per k. So you want to definitely be picking up your brass. With a 9 major using regular 9mm brass, I have found used brass for anywhere between 3-5k for $100 shipped and cleaned. I shott it and leave it at an outdoor match, but pick it up if indoors. As far as the Apeiro goes, it's a really nice gun, but at that price you are in the custom built ballpark for a limited gun. If you are really interested in picking up a limited gun, let me know I can give you some other options. And if you do decide to get the Apeiro, consider Dawson Precision (http://www.dawsonprecision.com/) they support USPSA, offer good deals and you can get the gun "enhancement package which consist of the following; Enhancement Package is simply making a great pistol better. Dave Dawson checks each pistol top to bottom for fit, function and appearance . We setup the breech face, extractor, ejector, mag release and feed ramp the same way we would a DP custom built pistol. Next we install a DP sear spring and tune the action. Then the pistol is test fired for flawless function, accuracy and zeroed at 25 yards. Hey if you were buying a Mustang how cool would it be to have Shelby tune it up a little first.. It's available for all the guns they sell.

I have no problem with your wanting to buy this gun - I think it's great - the more the merrier. My problem is with your, above-stated, reasoning. Taint the arrow, but the Indian. JMHO.

 

Adios,

Dang someone got bit by the USPSA bug HARD!

[bry@n 195]

Let me clarify, its not that I shot bad. I'm satisfied with the way I shot using a Sig 226. My statement comes is because of the action. Sure I could tune a Null to cater to competition but its easier to just pick up a 1911 that can get all the bells and whistles.

 

Its not about getting a gun because I can't shoot, its to bring my shooting to the next level.

Ron,

 

Thanks for the ideas, nothing set in stone, just planning stages right now.

I have owned a few (seven) STI factory guns at one time or another. Never had any problems with any of them. All of them were reliable and very accurate. I have heard of others that had minor issues with their STI guns. With that being said, their customer support is excellent and responsive. I will say this, if you start shooting an STI, you will want to start reloading your own ammo b/c they like to be shot alot!
