Does anyone know anything abut the STI single stacked 1911's.  Are these like Model 70's or 80's style 1911's.  Are the parts forged??

Neither.

They are extremely well made just like their double stacks.

Out of the 9 STIs I own, only one is a single stack. It is a Trojan .40, and in my opinion, if you want a better built 1911, you'd have to go to a "semi-custom" like a Les Baer, Ed Brown, Wilson...

I'm sure that if you emailed STI, they would tell you if the frames are forged.

Some of their frames are forged, some aren't. They're all good frames. Other parts are EDM cut.
