PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

STI Ranger
A question to the experts out there. I've been told by a few dealers that
the Escort may not be available until September. So I found a NIB STI Ranger ( Stainless slide, black frame) for 799. The question I have is ....Is the 800 a fair price for the gun since it was discontinued a few years ago. Or should I be patient and wait 6 months for the Escort. ( I was told I should be able to get the Escort for 1000. If you have a Ranger how does it shoot, The trigger on this one is very crisp; breaking at a shade under 4 lbs.

Thanks in advance

While I admittedly cannot answer your question regarding the STI Ranger, I do know that I should be receiving the test/evaluation STI Escort within the next couple of weeks. I will conduct those tests as quickly and thoroughly as possible, and the review will be featured in the M1911.ORG E-zine when completed.

Normally, we receive test pistols about the same time (if not a little before) that the gun becomes available on the commercial market. I cannot, however, speak for STI, or what their plans are. I DO know that current print advertisements are featuring the new Escort, so I'm hopeful the pistols will be available soon.

Keep your eyes peeled for the gun test.
In the meantime, perhaps one of our fellow members will post a reply to your questions about the STI Ranger.

Well didn't get much response on this thread, so I went an bought it anyway. Cost me 750.00. It's extremely well balanced and the trigger breaks at 3.5 pounds.
