STI Trojan

[wrzr21]

I've been looking at getting an STI Trojan 1911 in .45 acp as my next handgun. I found one at Titus Firearms in Elkhart and I liked it. The only problem was that I was not very happy with the price. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other places that get STI guns in. I haven't had much luck finding any other shops that sell STIs.

Only ones I have seen are online ... Dawson Precision has good reputation.

Been considering one myself, but just have not been able to pull the plug with finances.

I have several sti pistols. The Trojan being one. There are several dealers online. I bought my Spartan in northern ind. hillside shooting sports. Most gun shops will order you one.

Sti seems to be cracking down on retail discounts in favor of an Apple model. You sell for full retail, or you get dealer status yanked.

Up until about a month ago, Dawson, brazos and shootersconnection had them for 10% off list. Then, within a few days of one another, they all raised prices to full pop.

I got my Sentry just before the hike, but even at full price, the feature set and fitting makes it a bargain. You'd have to spend 2k+ to get what the Sentry has and equivalent fitting from Baer, Wilson, brown, et al.

Check these sites. Looks like they have went up since i got my trojan. Seems i paid $999. There a great gun. Well worth the money and some.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll have to save up and most likely buy online. You'd be amazed at how many behind the counter employees have said to me "What's STI?" when I asked them if they ever get any in

Not sure where your from(area wise). But the gun shop out by me, (rusty duck) has sti often. He has a sti edge now. May give him a call. He may be able to pick you up one. Reasonable prices too. Good luck!

Thanks, I'll have to check that place out the next time I'm in that area.

Elmore's in Greenwood has STI but I would also consider Gunbroker.

Buy American instead.

Do you mean buy American? If you do, I'm fairly certain the Trojan is an American gun..

Cabelas in Hammond

I've been looking at getting an STI Trojan 1911 in .45 acp as my next handgun. I found one at Titus Firearms in Elkhart and I liked it. The only problem was that I was not very happy with the price. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other places that get STI guns in. I haven't had much luck finding any other shops that sell STIs.

Cabelas has started to carry STI, I have seen them in stock in Hammond and in Phoenix.

But American instead.

Sti is all American except the Spartan. .

Yep BUY American. The Spartan is actually made by Armscor in the Phillipines with some STI parts. Not sure how much of the rest are made there.

He never said spartan. He said Trojan.

I was keeping track of them at Dawson's and Brazos' for the past couple of months. They seemed to be getting low on stock at both places, then the discount disappeared.

I assume the discount is gone because of natural supply and demand, but your guess is as good as mine.

I know that Apple/Sony/others set guidelines, but don't understand how that is not price fixing...

I plan on buying American of course and as 10mm pointed out I said that I plan on purchasing a Trojan not a Spartan. I'm aware that the Spartan is made in the Philippines, but all other STI guns are produced and assembled in Georgetown, Texas.

Don't tell a Texan they belong to the USA.

Trojan.....Spartan......meh, what's the difference? They both lived in some place that wasnt 'merica a few thousand years ago. Close enough.

Elmore's in Greenwood is where I bought my STI Perfect 10. They have some high $$$ 1911's. I wanted a extra mag and one of the guys said to sell me one of his. You can't get better service than that. Have not been in the shop for about 3 weeks so can't say he has the one you want in stock. Give them a call and see if they have the one you want.
