Research Notes#2 - STI 40 6" Eagle

Updated 11/06/2014

STI 6.0 Eagle - 40 D/T Fiber Optic- 

The best redesign ever, the Eagle in a 6 inch configuration!

Built on the patented modular steel frame with polymer grip, the Eagle delivers the traditional features of a 1911 and allows the added benefit of high capacity magazines. The innovative frame design preserves the 17" angle of the grip in relation to the slide, original to the 1911. The essential design element for high capacity, the polymer grip, allows for double stack magazines without over-sizing the circumference of the grip, which remains comparatively the same as the circumference of a 1911.
True to 1911 tradition, the Eagle has a classic scalloped slide with front and rear cocking serrations, STI dovetail front sight and STI adjustable rear sight. The Eagle comes standard with features such as a stainless steel STI hi-ride grip safety and stainless steel STI ambi-thumb safety. It is available with an STI stainless steel fully supported, ramped bull barrel or the traditional bushing barrel. Other options such as finish and sights are also available.
