2pointslow Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have been looking alot into 3in 1911's and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the spartan 3.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 IIRC the slides are cast. What's the price on the 3.0? You can shoot my Kimber sometime if you want but you've gotta buy the ammo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 The only STI's that I've ever looked into were full size competition race guns but that was a short lived fantasy so I don't have much insight to add to this discussion. Are you looking for one to carry? The biggest hurdle to overcome with carrying a 1911, whether lightweight or not, is the weight. Without a decent holster, you will have trouble. Once it's in a holster that distributes the weight well, it's a cake walk. My EDC is a Kimber custom carry II. The aluminum frame and 8 rounds makes a decent weight savings over a steel frame but it is still heavier than most full size polymers with 15+.
