Q: I was wondering if it would be possible (and at what cost) to order an Escort (or possibly Guardian) in .45 without the "STI Escort" rollmark? I like the Texas rollmark on the other side, but I find the size and font of the "Escort" unattractive. Thanks.

I am happy STI responded quickly. A surface plate, lots of sandpaper, some home-brew parkerizing and lots of patience could be one way to get rid of the roll marks. Such a plan is not for everyone.
I did consider that for about a millisecond.
Something about slapping spackle on a brand new >$1,000+ firearm makes me cringe. :lol:

Re: STI Without the ugly rollmark?

^^^ Wesson's CCO and your Guardian are definite contenders.
Unfortunately they require about 40% more pesos to procure. :cryin

Thanks for the suggestion.

I find the size and font of the model name rollmark prohibitively unattractive. :roll:
No problems with the other rollmarks.

Just working on my 2014 list for Santa :mrgreen:
Can't you buy an after-market slide sans logo?
STI is already a bit spendy without having to buy a spare slide.
Plus, I DO like the "TX" rollmark.

Anyone know if STI will make me a gun without the model name rollmark?

I find the size and font of the model name rollmark prohibitively unattractive. :roll:
