    As an alternative to super hi-%, but still 2011s in 9mm, I've played with (shot 2 different 3gun matches) with an STI HexTac. They're pretty sweet, and don't quite break the entire foundation of the house the piggy bank may be sitting on (translation: They're less expensive than the WC EDC)

    I appreciate your conviction for STI. I have personal experience with one as well. I am not open to them for this current itch.

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not really an STI fan, as such: Every one I've played with simply hardened my resolve to stick to SVI, Akai, Cheeley, CW Arms, etc... I just thought STI fit closer to your budget than those, and they are definitely good guns.

    But cool, QUIT FACKING AROUND AND BUY THE WILSON COMBAT EDC! Posthaste!

    So they why do you keep harping on rifles? Sheesh. Broken record.

    Because arguing about which service pistol caliber has the best ballistics is like arguing to the ref over who got 4th place.

    And I'm harping on rifles? Harldly. I just pointed out that going from a pistol caliber to a rifle caliber is an actual ballistic improvement, while one pistol caliber to another isn't.

    Why is this such a big deal to you?

    I could ask you the same.
