I am contimplating a Tactical 4.5. I know another STI is going to join my family, but got thrown for a loop in terms of duty guns recently and need to find something else first. Would be great if i could convince the higher powers of the merits of a real gun, but single action handguns are just not safe... I am still waiting for someone of this frame of mind to convince me how a single action 1911 trigger pull is more dangerous than that of a "safe (single) action" Glock. I like Glocks, and if they were the new choice, I would have no fears, but my point is the actual trigger stroke of a Glock and my current duty 1911 is virtually the same, except one breaks at 3.5 pouns crisply and the other breaks at about 6 pounds not as crisp.
This is all the result of a duty gun going off accidently... another thing I have never been explained intelligently. Have you ever seen a handgun accidently fire? I have seen lots of people fire them accidently!
My opinion is to change duty officers when this happens, not duty guns.
Okay... I have gotten off my soap box. How do you like your Tactical? I can shoot 2 inches consistently with the Ranger and ping plates at 50 yards all day, and i am sure the Tactical will do the same, if not better. Are they basically the same, except for the 2011 frame?
