Anyone local have an STI Spartan I can check out?
« on: January 22, 2012, 05:18:42 PM »
I need to pickup a 1911 in .45, but really don't want to spend much on one. I am not a huge fan of the single stack 1911 for competition, just not my cup of tea. But I want to shoot the 1911 match again this year and would not mind having one around, if it were cheap. Since I know I can get a Spartan for $588, I wanted to try and fondle one before I buy it. I'm just worried I won't like the feel of the low cost model.

I have one in 9mm. I told you that I would let you use that RIA that you used to own

I missed that somehow. Thanks, I will use it.

Are you going to shoot Emmett on Saturday? I'm mostly curious about the feel, so a 9mm or 45ACP, would be the same. Thanks.

I am shooting the Chosin Battle Match at Nampa on Sat. Let me know when the next time you come off the hill and we can hook up.
