I shoot enough USPSA I have seen a ton of STIs get to go back, along with SVs, atlas's, etc., so I wasn't to worried about it.

Probably not the demo you want out on the floor. Have yet to fire one, hoping it is a 'one off' issue.

Too many folks finger banging them when they have no clue what they are doing.

One issue I had was the slide would hang when I would [censored] it back with the 17 round mag in. No issues with the safety or anything else, slide was smooth but not butter like a staccato. I would give it an A so far, I do want to purchase one now.

Definitely both ways, took the mag out and it was better but still hung up.

Used 3 different 20 round mags and 2 26 round mags. Ran 100 percent. Still all stock other than taping down the grip safety. Used irons, as i am still waiting on an optic plate for my sro. Just a small match ~150 rounds total. So far really happy with the gun. Comptac holster and mag holders worked great FYI...looks like some optic plates are now shipping from SA. I received tracking on mine yesterday. Originally Posted by Superduty I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.
