I picked up a like new/used pistol from STI that looks like this one pictured, except mine has the adjustable rear sight and a smidge longer @ 4.4” inches.

I haven’t owed a 9mm for several years, prefer a 45 ACP. These pistols intrigued me after seeing a few of the US Marshal’s Special Tactics guys carrying them.

It’s a double stack 9 that’s coming with two 20 round mags and one 17 round. Previous owner bought extra springs for +P, Standard factory, and light loads.

I did a some Goog-Fu on why the US Marshal’s decided on this weapon. I came away with a feeling that these pistols, as well made as they are, probably didn’t hit as high a ratio on performance as the Glock, but fell well within the specs required - whatever those exact specs were, they never said.

I like 1911 ergos and since I’ve carried one for 15 years, they feel normal and familiar. Being a double stack, I’m hoping it has a similar fit in my hand like my G20.
