I resisted 1911s in 9mm for years because they were finicky and unreliable. That seems to have been overcome. Unfortunately, by the time that had been accomplished I was done with the 1911 as a carry gun. So while guns like the STIs look cool, I personally have no desire to drop that kind of money on a gun just for funzzies. A few weeks ago, a young Deputy US Marshal on the SOG unit was proudly showing me is STI with an RMR mounted. While he was sharing all of the stereotypical reasons why he chose a 1911 style pistol, I just bit my tung and enjoyed looking at a cool gun. Those things sure looked cool in John Wick 3 though.
