I have a 3.9 inch STI VIP 2011 in 45 ACP. It like my other STI's (5) run flawlessly. I'm not sure what is going on with STI they get a new CEO about every six months and can't seem to figure out what they are going to do as far as marketing and which direction the company is going to go. Also they are no longer STI they are Staccato.

Agreed! they are all over the map these days. The new STI the "Staccato" are nice as always but don't understand the direction they are taking.

I have been a LONG time STI fan. I have the Ranger officers size, the Trojan full size and the baby 1911 Spartan. All are great shooters. I can't even imagine how many rounds I have through my Trojan. Probably my favorite 1911 to shoot.

Rangers are cool they are actually smaller(thinner) than the Officers. They are built on the Combatmaster frame. Hang on to it, there are not many out there. Lots of Ranger ll.
