STI is releasing a new line of handguns specifically designed for law enforcement and concealed carry, available in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP. All of the guns have a Picatinny rail on the bottom and are in single stack configuration (the rep was joking that they made that decision before the NY ban came down, and are glad they did). The handguns are available with a number of optional things like magazine well design and such, and one version even has a threaded barrel for a silencer.
That right there is dead sexy. I want one in 9mm. In about six months that is, when my silencer paperwork comes back. I wonder if they do layaway . . .
I love it when PPL take a classic service pistol design and then turn it into a blocky, oversized crfeation that even HK would call ‘ill concidered’
The three on the top row look like double stack designs to me..
A very large fraction of STI’s product line is double-stack 1911-based designs. They cater heavily to the competition market — IDPA and the like.
Is silencer now back in vogue? I thought the pc descriptive was suppressor?
We’re in one of those legislative lulls where there’s no push on to make them available to more people, so everyone reverts back to using the popular-culture term “silencers”.
Once the current storms have passed, and it seems like the right time to liberalize access to these devices, you’ll see much more message discipline around calling them “suppressors” which enables proponents to reframe the debate.
