Default STI Escort

Hi there...

I am new to this forum and here it goes my first question.
I am looking in to the STI Line .... Looks like The Escort is the perfect fit for me.
Is there any body out there with a STI "The Escort"? what are your thoughts on it?

Thank You!

I tend to prefer the 4.15" Ranger II personally, but you can't go wrong with an STI.

I have the Spartan.Very tight fit and very accurate.Some parts are made by Armscor and STI puts in theirs to make a very nice gun.Can't seem to get my hands on an escort or ranger.Thinking about the Trojan as my next STI purchase.

I have a Trojan in 9mm. Shoots great. Easy to conceal. Ya gotta have a 5 inch barrel to effectively pistol whip a BG.

The grip size is different on these. Since the EMP was specifically made for shorter (9mm / 40 S&W) size rounds, it is a little shorter when measured from back to front.

i owned the EMP and since the grip is shorter and the magazines are propriortary (sp?), it makes spicing it up a bit difficult. i wasnt able to find generic magazines for them, i think mec gar makes the mags. i really l.iked my EMP and thought i was going to keep it but i dont regret switching over to the ranger II.

I carry the original tiny Ranger which is the same size as the escort. I love it.
