Fuck I went in to my friends store looking to order and RIA 2011 I came out wanting this. What do /k/?

*inb4 buy ammo

I am already a proficient shooter, I want Gucci. And for $1400 its a bargain compared to the STI. Talk me out of it /k/.

You could do it yourself for a third the cost?

hahahahahahaahaha

>>34867311
It's $1400 with a trigger feel identical to a $300 police trade-in Glock. You can make it lighter, you can reduce overtravel and takeup, you can polish to your heart's content, but a Glock trigger is always going to be the same mushy shit. It cannot be fixed.

There are better things you could do with $1,400.

Save $300 more and buy a Mark 23.

The mushy feel that comes from cocking the striker is not "[excess movement]."

>paying 1400 for a Taran Tacticool Glock

Do you know what opportunity cost is? What utility does it offer that justifies paying an additional $900 over a stock Glock? Also, remember that it's going to have extremely serious depreciation if you ever have to sell or trade it. Unlike some other kinds of trust fund handguns, like a Baer, Wilson Combat Beretta, Freedom Arms revolver, etc, where you can reasonably recover 75 to 80% of what you paid as long as you took care of the gun, no one is going to pay $1000+ for a used Glock, regardless of whatever has been done to it or who worked on it.

It's your money to lose though, bro.

this lol

thats like buying a 40K honda civic... lol no thanks at the end of the day its still a civic
>>
>>34867311
Heads up.

It shoots just the same as a normal glock. Except you spent $1000 more on stupid upgrades.

Known several people who have owned "custom" Glocks, including the stupid as fuck Salient Arms guns. They have all regretted their purchase for the shitty guns.

Anon please don't think of me as a typical condescending tripfaggot but it does sound like you don't know what you're talking about. :(

Sorry.

Takeup, staging, creep, break, overtravel. Only one of those things is universally bad, the rest can be desirable in some form and most are tolerable in any form. It happens that Glucks cannot be cured of the one bad thing. Trigger feel is important to some people. For everyone else, there're Block.

Sorry man.

Did you see the 600hp STI that went around the Nurembourg almost as fast as the 918 Spyder?

Did they finally update the STI engine? I remember all my Subaru friends being bummed that the WRX got a newly designed engine and the STI didn't a few years back, apparently it was to the point that a well tuned WRX could squeeze out more horsepower than it's big brother.
>>
>>34870777
>34870777
I think they updated it. Your friends lied to you though. The 0-60 times were similar because the STI took 2 shifts to hit 60 while the wrx only needed one. The STI has always produced more hp.
>>
>>34867311
>$1400
>for that finger grooved POS
Don't do it
>>
>>34870777
Nah, they're still rocking the EJ. To my understanding, STI needed more time to optimize the FA20 to the HP one can expect from their cars, so they stuck with the EJ for the latest model.
>>
>>34867311
USP expert or elite and outshoot any 1911 you'll find at your local range.

That's not your friend OP.
>>
>>34871820
I have both, never had a problem hitting steel with either.
>>
>>34871865
Lets see
>>
>>34870980
I wasn't saying they produced equal horsepower, just the the new engine in the WRX could be improved upon, while the STI was basically already at the peak its engine was capable of. >>34871695
Word, I've always been sort of torn, the STI has better performance but I like the WRX styling better. That said, I like buying older cars and working on them so I don't see myself getting either anytime soon.
>>
>>34870735
No, it doesn't work that way. A $3000 1911 is much less retarded than a $1400 glock. We all think so, you're the only one that doesn't.
>>
>>34872722
>A $3000 1911 is much less retarded than a $1400 glock.

No, they're both equally retarded. You're just conditioned to accept and even appreciate the blind idiocy involved in the purchase of a $3000+ 1911.

Doesn't mean they're not fun. If you're not having fun shooting, what's the fucking point in spending $1400 on a glock or $3000 on a 1911?
>>
>>34872810
The market determines value for all things, but does not account for taste. You are a garbage human being.

I notice a fucking trend of the people that buy this garbage living with their parents. Anyone who payed their own rent or mortgage could never bring themselves to spend that kind of money on garbage.
>>
>>34872873
>Anyone who payed their own rent or mortgage could never bring themselves to spend that kind of money on garbage.

Except that's pretty much the exact market Wilson, Nighthawk and Ed Brown all cater to. 40 and 50+ year old gun guys with disposable income and little creativity. Do you just not interact with other shooters much or something?
>>
A decent STI will be a lot better than any raced up glock and I like glocks. Definitely get a decent 1911; you won't regret it. It doesn't have to be a double stack 2011; the mags are ~$130 a pop.

The walther ppq trigger is unironically bad. It's long, squishy, has a weak break and a reset that's barely noticeable. I prefer the glock trigger in every way.
>>
>>34873908
Trigger so good you don't even need to pull it to fire the gun.

You're thinking of another gun anon. :)
>>
>>34874326
Apparently the Standard P320 trigger is nearly identical (mostly weight) to the DAO P250, and is heavy, which is why it will AD. The Apex, X5 other "Custom" and custom triggers apparently lack the problem.
