So, who wants a new STI DVC???

Rate_of_Twist · Apr 16, 2015

I know quite a few people that have been asking STI to submit their pistols for exemption....

Well, they listened.

Yes, I know there are many other ways of getting a STI pistol in the state bit good for STI for doing what they can to support action shooting sports in this shitty state

Seriously, congrats. they seem like a really good deal for the money in a limited gun

(An evil piece of me deep down inside wants the DVC Open [devil2]

I don't need it, and I have no business owning a limited gun let alone open!)

Its like the car guy saying "If it don't go fast, chrome it"
If you cant shoot fast, at least look good doing it.

Excellent! Looking forward to having another good shooter in the local Limited pool of shooters!

It doesn't look like any of the STI's on the list would qualify has a hardball gun, unless I'm mistaken.

Supermoto · Apr 23, 2015

What's a hardball gun?

The DVC look like they are excellent guns for the money. It is great to see STI getting serious about their comp guns and recognizing MA as a viable market

bigblue · Apr 23, 2015

That thing looks sweet sjan. How rough is the grip?

Oh, and why limited? Why not go all out balls out? No ballin in open yet?

Supermoto · Apr 23, 2015

Open is for old guys that no longer can see their front sight

Beats the hell out of me.

From another forum: "Hardball Gun means a military-looking 1911 in 45ACP caliber that's used in NRA Bullseye competition."

That sounds like a silly definition to me but to each their own.

Those are some sexy guns. Better start saving my pennies

A "military-looking 1911" has pathetic sights. Bullseye shooters need good sights.

Are these pathetic sites?

The term "hardball gun" is generally one used for bullseye shooting with 230gr ball ammo at standard (mil spec) velocity.

Those aren't standard military sights. So I wouldn't call that a "military-looking" 1911.

These are:

The original USGI 1911 sights are perhaps the worst sights I've used on a handgun. Ever, with the front being the biggest problem. Even the terrible glock ball/cup or the terrible sig bar/dot sights are infinitely better than that crap. The old claims of "well old loose 1911s are reliable but not terribly accurate" are likely only half true- they're "innacurate" because the person running them can't get a good sight picture!! not because the gun is loose. But you already knew that. [laugh]

Rob Boudrie's right. I was posting an example of a hardball gun to help explain the definition (Les Baer is considered the gold standard by some).

Yeah, they are horrid.

OK, back on topic here - this post was about STI DVC's! for actually going fast, not standing and pressing the trigger without disturbing the gun at all.

This will be a great way to build up the Limited competition pool! All the cool kids should ditch production.

I don't know, I havn't handled one yet. It looks very grippy, I hope it is, I like em rough. I have been wanting to shoot Limited since my first match back in '10. Oh and I have an open gun, kind of...

Funny thing, Mazzotta says he can shoot his Limited guns faster than his open guns. Last month at the BUAS match he actually had tape covering the front of his Cmore, it was faster for him that way. Then again, he is usually the exception.

Obviously I don't care what the cool kids are doing these days, haven't you noticed I'm still playing in SS?
