Did you buy a lottery ticket on the way home?
Better yet...did you make sure there was actually a gun in the box?

Hobbes which cal did you get? My .40 226 legion is awesome!
Picked up my STI! They sold me the last spare mag for it in the shop at cost and gave me a free t-shirt! I'd make sure the store owner doesn't drink his Shirley temples with his pinky finger sticking out.

Hahahahaha! So when I got home I noticed that the STI shipped from them very dirty so I stripped and cleaned it. Found some small machining imperfections and 2 things that I think we're attention to detail issues. Guess we will see how it runs.
I think the fitting/assembly work on my 226 legion was better.

GD,
That mirrors what I've heard of other STI products. Hopefully it'll run as well as a stock $475 Glock.
Sorry I couldn't resist.

Hahaha if SHTF I'd grab on of my 3 Glocks or my 226 before I'd grab that STI.
That 226 in single action has a trigger that rivals the STI

Hopefully the STI will exceed your expectations. 30 years of underwhelming delivery on perceived "values" has left me jaded.

I don't have as much time in the game as you but I know exactly what you are saying. Honestly I feel like if I was given to the training on how to do the work I'd make a lot better gun than most folks. My major complaints with the 2011 so far is. The slide stop barely holds the slide to the rear and slips if you look at it right.
The machining is ok but that's about it. There are definite marks where you can see the barrel is contacting the slide and it's not completely even. There are surfaces the needed deburred before they were coated and finished. The slide and frame are not aligned when looking at it from the front. The gaps are not even close to even if you are looking at where the recoil spring assembly is in the slide to where it's cut out in the from to go. The front sight top has a slight angle to it so it's not parallel to the top of the rear sight. Very distracting.
Honestly I'm considering calling STI over some of the things.

Call them. Hopefully it'll work out better than my Ed Brown Executive Elite that wouldn't cycle...
