I have pondered about what is the appeal of the STI guns in general besides the heavy social media push.
Not a negative against STI but I figured it was more geared toward a lower cost entry level 2011.
It seems if someone is going to be paying 2-3 grand for one why not just go full on custom build especially if one is having to send it out to a accomplished smith to address certain areas.
400 rounds down range... it is definitely like cheating. Ran everything I put through it, including 95s, 125gr HAPs, 125gr Moly, 135gr Xtremes and 135gr Critical Duty. Got the sight adjusted and man does this thing burn ammo quickly.
