My buddy got an STI officer, from what I can see, it looks pretty awesome! It wasn't around when I picked up a DW ECO.I bought a $2000 STI Edge just before they changed to Staccato because I like the basic, heavy metal look of the Edge and it represents the original design.
With it's big Dawson Ice magwell funnel, it's an imposing beast.
Anyone that picks it up, smiles ear to ear.
A Glock can't do that.
It's about what floats your boat and what you can afford.
