Since the majority of sti pistols are used in the ipsc gungames, they never saw a reason for fix the issue. That's why sti does not see serious use in IDPA or for serious self defense use. Now back to single stacks. There is no comparison between a Wilson and sti. Get the Wilson if the pistol is for serious use.
i have to disagree with your assessment- a year ago or so i got into STI 's double stacks and have had 7 of them- all have ran super reliably without a single problem!
otoh, i also bought a NHC FALCON , that needed to return to its nest on a couple of occasions, for feeding issues.
in my experience, more$$$$ didn't translate to total reliability. and i'd stake my life on my 2011 tacticals any day of the week.
