<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: alan98</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> I don't know a whole lot about the 1911's and was considering the glock 21 SF, but have a fascination about the 1911's as do many here. So as it states, if you had around 1500$ to spend on one, which would u get?? I'm left handed so ambi safety would be nice.

I've been looking at Springfield TRP, STI lawmen, and wilson CQB but the wilson is pricey

Open to any suggestions.

In that case, read the thread title. You didn't respond to the question.

I love my STI Eagle as much as anyone else, but it's not a 1911. And that's what this thread is about.

Do you analize all the references to 1911's? What <span style="font-style: italic">is</span> a 1911? Anyway, I'll be sure to wait for the "which 2011" thread. Glad you could get that straight. You might want to give STI a jingle and tell them to stop their marketing. You new breed IPSC guys are funny. Whoops, I mean practical shooters....

<span style="font-style: italic">Integrating patented 2011 technology with classic 1911 design, the STI International Edge is a high capacity pistol that carries John Browning’s design into the 21st Century.

Since its introduction in late 1997, the STI Edge has become the undisputed standard for USPSA/IPSC Limited Division competition shooting as demonstrated by Michael Voigt and Frank Garcia finishing one/two as they led the US IPSC Limited Team to victory at World Shoot XII. It has been adopted by SWAT teams, HRT teams, street cops, and law enforcement training sites. It has been embraced by almost all other shooting disciplines.

Built on the patented modular steel frame with polymer grip, the Edge delivers the traditional features of a 1911 and allows the added benefit of high capacity magazines. The innovative frame design preserves the 17° angle of the grip in relation to the slide, original to the 1911. The essential design element for high capacity, the polymer grip, allows for double stack magazines without over-sizing the circumference of the grip, which remains comparatively the same as the circumference of a 1911.

True to 1911 tradition, the Edge has a unique full length slide with front and rear cocking serrations, STI dovetail front sight and STI adjustable rear sight. The Edge comes standard with features such as a stainless steel STI knuckle relief hi-ride grip safety and stainless steel STI ambi-thumb safeties. It comes with an STI stainless steel fully supported, ramped bull barrel. You can add custom serial numbers, colored grips and triggers, hard chrome, engraving inlays and fiber optic or tritium sights. Not only is it the most accurate and reliable handgun on the market, it can now be one of the most beautiful.

It's kinda funny that you quoted that. Funny, I never knew that front cocking serrations or a unique slide were, "True to 1911 tradition."

There are plenty of 2011 threads around here. I've posted pics of mine before.

Yeah but those aren't permanent. It's not like I can convert my 2011 from a Unique slide to a Classic slide and back again (not without another slide).

I can pull my ambies out and put a single side safety in whenever I want.

Although I do see your point.

I picked up the TRP this morning and tore it down..cleaned it and fired about 40 rounds without any problems. I'm gonna shoot for groups later this evening and see how it does. I haven't been shooting pistols often but this thing is really nice!! I'm completely satisfied with my decision to go TRP
