    STI GP6 9mm

    Anyone own one of these? Anyone with experience using them in competition?
    It appears to be discontinued model...anyone know why? Any problem getting mags for it?

    I saw a used one for sale...looks and feels great...fantastic trigger/reset.

    I had one. I miss it. Well, as much as one can miss a plastic pistol

    IIRC, the weak link was the hammer. Can't verify that, mine didn't break in the less than 1k I had it.

    Ergonomics - wonderful.

    Accuracy - stellar

    I think I have a half dozen mags laying around somewhere. I'll pay them forward to you, assuming I have/can find them.

    I shot one once and aside from the plethora of sharp edges, was very impressed. Amazing trigger and reset.

    Century's importing them now as the "Grand Power K100 MK7", and J&G has them for about $430 new. I shot a mag through one a few weeks ago (I have a buddy who insists on buying every weird European blaster that hits the market), it was pleasant, but I'm leery of anything with a rotating barrel.

    Word. The fact that the rotating barrel has been The Next Big Thing since, oh, 1907 or thereabouts makes me suspect that any engineer putting one in a gun today is being different just for the sake of being different.

    Huh. Ever since the Colt 2000, I've been enamored with rotating barrels.....

    Those guns were shoddily-built, inaccurate, rushed-to-market, product-recalled, malfunction-and-breakage-prone abortions.

    I was there*, man. God, what a fiasco those were. They went to CDNN for pennies on the dollar in practically record time.

    (*And by "there" I mean dealing with pissed off customers because my boss had loaded us down with a bunch of 'em.)
