Delta Force STI 2011: Competition Meets Operations
This review details the rare Delta Force STI 2011 pistol, highlighting its origins in Delta Force's search for higher-capacity .45 ACP or .40 S&W handguns to replace the 1911. Despite its tactical features like a 5-inch barrel and night sights, the pistol suffered critical magazine reliability issues due to .40 S&W rounds being too short for the .45-sized magazine bodies. These feeding failures led Delta Force to reject the STI 2011 in favor of the Glock 22, with the pistols later being sold on the civilian market.
