nice STI EDGE,i want to buy also,where did you buy your gun? did you experience any jams or malfunction?

[Renoctsreviews]

@gutadin5 It's my buddies, and he got it from his uncle. It had issues in the beginning with jamming, so after oiling the gun heavily it started working like a charm.

nice gun, i own a kimber goldcombat RL2, this is a pretty sweet rig, but i did notice your stance, do you tend to lean to one foot? i know the ground is not a sidewalk bt standing more center will help. another tip is i noticed you shrug your shoulders and bend your elbows to bring the gun up to your eyelevel, id sugest lowering your head and keeping your arms a tad straighter. helped me speed up my followup shots.

@Demo7IIRider Thanks. I was on one hill and firing at another, I was really just shooting close targets and was being filmed. I like the STI and most 1911's, but I am still a fan of Glock. Thanks for the advise.

I must apologize for the negitive comments written on my page. Due to high estrogen levels of some STI firearm owners, it looks like I am bashing on the STI Edge. I have a rating system based on what matters in a post apocalyptic scenario. The STI is a great firearm, it just isn't the best in the rating system.

STI is a ferrari glock is a ford. I own 3 STI race guns and 4 glocks. A 17 a 22 a 27 and a 34. Also shooter in the video has the WORST stance and form i think ive ever seen. Hope he didnt write the review cuz i wouldnt listen to a word that guy said about guns.......

[Renoctsreviews]

@jmcommon1 I must agree. The STI is a Ferrari, but the Glock is more of a mid 90's Toyota. See when a Ferrari breaks, you must take weeks out of your life finding a mechanic that knows what he is doing and can fix the issue. While if or when a Glock breaks you can either buy a new one, or spend the couple bucks to fix it. And it is sad when people get defencive over something like this. And stance?! Is that all you have? It doesn't matter how you look, you just have to hit your target.

[jmcommon1]

yeah bud stance and form is one of the most crucial elements of proper pistol shooting. id imagine you dont hit your target too often with the way you shoot. and as far as the sti breaking down and it taking weeks to fix its a 1911 any competent gunsmith shouldnt have a problem making it run again. that and sti guns dont break down.......

Drop leg holster without a vest? Yeah, not so much.

Considering that the STI edge, steel master etc are limited class competition pistols. They are made to shave 10ths of a second off of a sub 30 second run. Might be more realistic if you keep to tactical / production pistols glock hk etc if your looking for post apoc type.
