STI SPARTAN - HOME TODAY! (pics)

[Longslide]

Picked it up today. All I have done is clean it and change the grip pannels - Range results as soon as I can get to the range.

If the Spartan is the parrell pistol to the RIA Match, the Match comes with ambi safety - The Spartan has a SS barrel - Does the Match have SS barrel?

I will be interesting to get them side by side. But for now here is the SPARTAN!!!

Nice looking spartan longslide :D :D man now i really want one too :) How much? if you dont mind me asking just want to have an idea..

[Longslide]

Thanks guys :D

I bought it from a private seller. He did not want it after he bought it! He left the orginal bill of sale in the case. It cost him $499.00 + taxes - He got it from Florida Gun Exchange. I paid him $550 shipped + 25 for my FFL.

It is NIB never fired - It is a fair price give that you can not find them around here.

that is sounds a good price to me, i check the gunsource.com they dont have it on their list of manufacturer..

Congrats on the Spartan ;) ! I hope everything checked out fine on it. Just to let you know, I bought the Spartan from SPA Shooter's Depot (http://www.spa-shootersdepot.com) at a gun show last month. They're one of the listed distributors on STI's website. I'm getting a Springfield Mil-Spec from Florida Gun Exchange. Let me know how she shoots.

Wow, those grips look great on it. I got my Mil-Spec over the weekend; I posted a pic and range report here (http://forum.m1911.org/showthread.php?t=29688).

Addition work in progress for the STI

Well since it is a target pistol I thought I would put some target grips on it!!

I also added a FUSION Mag well for it and tossed the PLASTIC MSH!!!

I plan on shooting it a lot so I wanted to protect the front stap from scratching. Maybe not as PRURTY but more functional.
