Who makes the investment cast STI frame blanks? Do they make them from the ground up? Im refering to the frames they sell and use on there Trojan/Ranger/Guardian pistols?
Are these frames as good as the Caspin cast frames or even some forged frames?
I am no expert but I believe the frames on the guns you mentioned are forged and made by STI themselves. The only cast frame that STI has comes from the P.I.'s and are used on the Spartans. STI frames are some of the best in the industry, Mirando
The Trojan and many other STI's use a cast frame. As far as quality goes, I'd venture to say they are top notch along w/ Caspian. Fusion uses the same cast frames as STI on some of their models, and I have never heard a complaint about the cast frames from either company. I do not know if STI casts their own frames, or if they are outsourced.
Caspain cast frames are made by Ruger and carry a lifetime warranty against cracking. They have never had one crack, but have had forged frames come back with cracks
