Sti gp6

[CZTeenie]

I shoot every week. I am an instructor and my students shoot my guns. I am guessing I have put 2,000 round per week through my GP6 since mid January. Silver Bear. Wolf. Barnaul. It does not matter. It will shoot anything. I have not taken the GP6 apart yet. The extent of my cleaning is to line 10 or so guns up after a class. Spray some WD40 in their general direction. Pick them up with a towel and give 'em a quick wipe as they are put in the case. The ONLY guns that need me to clean them more thoroughly are the Glocks, Kimbers and the S&W semi autos. That is why the Glocks, Kimbers and the S&W semi autos do not get much range time. You may think GP's design needs constant cleaning. But I have not cleaned it once sine I have owned it.

I have two of them, and you are right, they are not finicky at all. I bought my first one back in January and have probably put about 5K through it before I had my first FTF, so I figured I had better take it apart and clean it. The other one is home unfired in the safe.

If anyone hears of a GTI GP6 for sale, please let me know. My husband wants one now. I only have the 1. We prefer a used one because it will already be broken in and more importantly, the cost will be less.

Thanks!!!

We have a new shipment of GP6's at Shiloh, give us a call, 281-444-8930. We should have some new Hoffner's paddle holster's for the Gp6 as well. Great holsters with minimal muzzle clearance, very fast...

we will be having a new shipment of STI GP6-C's in pretty soon. Competition model, specifically designed for competitive shooting in a sense it will have extended mag release, fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight. it will also come with an extra magazine. Perfect for those who like to shooooooooot.

Well folks, I suppose it's time for a 6 month review.

I've had my GP6 since the winter. I've shot 8 IPSC matches, including a Level III (Ontario Provincial Championship). Aside from matches, I've probably had it to the club 6 times for practice and chrono work.

I upgraded my gun with the OEM big buttom mag catch, fiber optic front and Dynamic rear sight.

So far in approx 2k of shooting, I've had not even one stoppage, jam, misfeed, etc. It just goes bang every time.

I haven't cleaned it for the last 1000 rounds, and it's still running like a top.

My slide stop pin will slightly creep to the side, but I've done nothing about it except to tap it back in after the match is over.

is it possible to get the parts that come on the competition guns seperately like the competition sights? and does anyone know if they are planning on making a .22 rimfire conversion kit?
