If you purchase it get some SVI magazines, no spacer required for 9mm.

I bought one last year and I love it. My only complaint is the cost of the magazines.

Not my carry gun. I would think the magwell would print a bit. How are you planning on carrying it?

I usually carry a glock, my pro never seen waist time, but that gun I just love the way it feels on my hands. I just hope someone that carries one chime in. Maybe I just looking for a reason to get it. |

The magwell is easily removed. I pull mine off for carry.

I'm not gonna be called stupid for $1800 so I will just go and buy it
Now mister "thank you for making me spend my money" what holster are you using and how do you carry. Im guessing the Sti vs Pro weight doesn't make any difference? |

I have an STI Tac Single Stack 4.0 that I carry (actually I have two) and the fitting on both is excellent, as well as being incredibly accurate. Fitting on all the 2011 Tacticals I've played with is consistently excellent too. I have lots of SVI mags, but no 2011 STI. That said, they are great mags (in my SVI at least). Just make sure you get the standard follower for more consistent lockback. |

SVI mags will usually work with no problem in an STI. STI mags may need to have the mag catch hole opened up a bit for use in a SVI gun, since the SVI mag catch shape is a bit different.
That said, I have used the 9mm STI mags with no issues. I don't personally see the value in paying the uplift to the SVI tubes. |

I used the SV mags as 9mm major was a new kid on the block.
I went with what was recommend to me by the only other 9mm major shooter I knew. |

I have 10 or so of them and no feeding issues with either 9mm or 9x23mm WIN -- flat nose, HPs, whatever. 1911 mags for 9mm, I've tried all kinds with varying success, overall I think the 2011s eat 9mm a lot more reliably, which is why an STI 4.0 Tac 2011 is on my list to pickup for a carry over my 4.0 1911. |

I'm a fan of STI/2011's in general. That magwell is about the smallest magwell they make for that gun lol. But reloading a double stack mag even without a magwell is still generally easier than reloading a single stack gun. You should see the Ice magwells most people have on their USPSA limited guns. I also just purchased an Omega 9k. Can't wait to get my grubby paws on it |

Personally I love the 2011 grip size, and this is coming from someone who found the G30 unmanageably fat. If you've ever held a Para doublestack 1911, the 2011s feel better than that. |

Took my kimber stainless cc II to the range today just to abate the urge to burn a hole in the checking account. If you enjoy shoot any of those guns, don't get the 2011. The grip, trigger and ease of mag changes is the all-in-one combination. Nothing else satisfies like a 2011. If you do decide to take the plunge, might as well sell off the rest to offset the cost. It's not like you'll ever want to shoot them again.

I'm in love.
Went to a Vietnamese Pho restraunt we used to eat at and someone opened up a new gun shop a few doors down. Went in to see if they had a SIG Legion SAO. But to my surprise they were an STI dealer and just happened to have a STI 2011 4.0 tactical DS in 45...... Thing fit like a glove and had a sweet, sweet trigger. Asked the shop guy to get me a quote for a HEX Tac 4.0 in 9mm. I've tasted the 2011 kool-aid and I like it!
