STI Int.
In the 1980’s the founder of STI, Virgil Tripp was hand crafting competition 1911 pistols using basically the same components and techniques as other gunsmiths of that era. Tripp Research Inc., now STI International led the firearms industry into the precision world of “EDM” hammers, sears, and other components. More recently STI has become a household name after the hit John Wick trilogy of movies featured STI pistols such as the ‘Combat Master’.
