Based in Texas, STI are the pioneers which brought us the 2011® handgun; borrowing much from Browning's classic 1911 design, STI has made various improvements to the weapon to bring it into the modern era of firearms.

Some major notable improvements are the custom frame and polymer grips which accepts double stack magazines while at the same time reducing overall weight. Each handgun also incorporates STI's FlaTec shooting technology which results in a much lighter felt recoil allowing the shooter to be faster and more accurate when fractions of a second matter most. Whether for competition, duty, or defence STI has a handgun perfectly tailored to the shooter's needs.

The STI DVC 3-GUN is specifically designed to meet the needs of today's 3-gun enthusiast while keeping true to the DVC heritage of Accuracy, Power and Speed. Shoot flatter. Shoot longer between reloads. Consider the performance critical handgun portion of your 3-gun arsenal duly covered.

EMG is proud to announce our next collaboration project with STI to bring highly detailed, high quality training variants of their handguns to Airsoft. These handguns are exceptionally crafted to tight tolerances to mimic the look and feel to that of their real life counterparts. Expert technicians pay close attention to details in tuning to make sure the training replica feels as good and is crisp to shoot like the real thing. The trigger is ultra light and fast which compliments well to the quick cycling slide. The polymer grips are moulded to resemble STI's DVC Stippling which is an aggressive scallop style cut that are both comfortable and incredibly efficient at helping the shooter maintain a positive grip.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
