My first purchase was a revolver, and now after 7 years, I can shoot it with some accuracy.
Figured I'd try an auto this time. I went with the STI Trojan, massaged a little.

It will have to wait another week though. There's a little boy that turns 6 this weekend that will be expecting me to be at his party on Saturday.

See thats why I'm still trying to figure out what I want. I probably won't shoot that often, no matter how much I say I will. The DE will scare anyone away just from seeing or hearing it, I wouldn't even have to shoot the person.Lugnut said:
Oh by the way YES I do live in PG so when they start shooting I will have something other thatn a shotgun to shoot back with.

I picked up the .45 cal STI a few weeks ago, and after putting a few hundred rounds through it, I can say that I am QUITE satisfied. So much so, a 9mm STI is not too far into the future for me.
I considered the .45 Kimber, but for the money, I figured that the STI was a much better buy and it came with MUCH support from match shooters that I know.
As for the DE, I have shot the .50 cal DE. It's an impressive thump. I just don't think I could get used to the aching wrist and elbow for 2 days after every trip to the range. If I ever get a DE, it'll be the .44 cal model. Deadly accurate, cheaper ammo, more pleasurable to shoot and other than providing a slightly smaller hole, every bit as scary to the guy at the at the wrong end of the barrel. AND, I already have a .44 mag revolver, so it'd make loading a little simpler, not having to buy another set of dies.

Is that a six inch barrel model? I have also shot the DE and yup, its got a big bang to it. I only ran one mag through it so but I can imagine the pain in the wallet as well as the wrist. I haven't set up to relaod the 45 yet; i have been short on time and have only run about 300 rounds through mine.
