Picked up my new STI Lawman last night. This gun is solid. The fit of this gun is amazing, it is very tight. The first thing I noticed was how heavy it is. Weighs more then my Springfield GI model by what seems like quite a bit. I just stripped and cleaned it and will get to shoot it this weekend. I can't wait to see how this baby runs. I was told it would take 13 weeks, but it only took 6. Here are some pics.

That's a beauty.!

Sweet! I really like STI guns, thinking about a Trojan myself.

I like that a lot. Maybe because of the name. Enjoy

beautiful gun. Always loved the STI's

Beauty! I have an Off-Duty in .45 that is another STI winner.

very nice, i like the blueing.

That's a damn beauty! I'll bet she shoots even better than she looks.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I will see how she shoots on Saturday. I am sure she shoots better then I can .

Niiiice, I love my STI

COngrats. She is a beaut!

Nice! I have a spartan in 45 and i feel its a hell of a nice gun for the money, i can only imagine the step up in quality the higher priced options must have. I only wish STI would get some more stainless options in thier guns (and not charge a fortune).

Yeah the hard chrome at $300 is a bit much. Sure looks good though....

Thats not a bad price this day and age, i paid 250.00 to have my baby eagle done back in 1989 or 90.

 

Alot of work goes into chroming a gun, the rails have to be clearanced along with a bunch of other moving parts. chrome takes up space..

Very nice...

Congrats on the new gun Jimmy. She looks great.

STI is one of the most well made, no nonsense guns out there. my trojan 45 just hammers away....I carry that 5in sucker when in America...

Well, having shot it today, I can tell you it is a very nice shooter. Extremely accurate. Congrats Jimmy.

Very impressive, range report?

Took the new gun out yesterday morning. Met up with Keith at CJ. The STI is very accurate, easy natural POA, nice adjustable tacticle sights. The trigger is very smooth and breaks crisp. I fed it about 80 rounds, every different type of ammo I had. She ate them all up, I used Samson 185 JHP's, Federal and Winchester 230 ball, and Speer 230 Gold dots. I even alternated each type of bullet in the magazine to try and make it hiccup. She ran great, not one issue and we blew apart a few bowling pins with it. The gun is very tight, no slop in fitment at all. The only thing that has any play at all is the grip safety.

 

The only issue I found was that the blueing of the slide there is slight shadows in it. Not really very noticble, but I am retentive like that . I called STI and they gave me an RMA and said they would reblue the slide and make it 100 percent. So far I am extremly happy with the gun and STI's customer service. If anyone would like to try it out let me know.
