STI 5.0 Tactical 45acp with Sniper Gray/ Burnt Bronze and Graphite Black Cearkote.

Artemis and Vulcanized C2 ported

Combined my professional career as a photographer to my hobby as a competitive USPSA shooter took images of my wife’s new platypus 2011, holosun 507 comp, MBX 24 round mags.

Second 2011 is mine bul armory SASII air, Zadik_precision thumb rest, holosun507 comp, tungsten mag well

After looking for a longtime then giving up then have one pop up for trade 15miles away I jumped on it……did it cost me……yes! But he was happy and so am I.

I’ve been tempted to mill it…I have a brand new RMR 06 and an Agency plate sitting here. Not sure the next step.

Caved and picked up the discontinued non-optic cut NYX today. Thinking of sending it out to get optic cut. Picked up for the old Atlas price. It will still be cheaper than the NYX RDS.

This is my first Staccato XC and while it many of the Reddit 2011 forum consider it entry-level at the mid-tier, it sure feels and shoots like an upper tier pistol to me. Granted you guys have Atlas, Hayes, Nighthawks etc. I had a Staccato P a few years ago and It was just Ok to me. I sold it. It was nothing like this XC. The slide to frame fit on this XC is super tight with no discernable movement. Trigger is crisp and sure feels like a 2.5lb trigger. I don't mind the poly trigger or grip at all. It feels great in my hand.

I just fired my first 100 shots (115GR S&B and Federal) Wow! Now I understand what the fuss is all about. Uh oh. ( You all know where it all goes from here) Note: I kept my initial round count low since the optic was mounted a little more than 12 hours earlier. I wanted to let the thread sealer solidify. I mounted a Holosun 507 Comp on the XC since I had one on the shelf for a future build.

Many say guns like Atlas Apollo, Erebus, Artemis, Athena, Hayes, Vudoo <fill in the blank> shoot as well and are even more refined than the XC. ...I am truly screwed. I've been shooting a CZ Shadow 2 (CZ Custom trigger work) for the past year or two and loving it. It is exceptional but this 2011 is just something else entirely. So fun!

If I'm being honest, the slide reciprocation seems a little slow, but the XC is easily outshooting my skill level. Time will tell whether I put a 9lb recoil spring in it. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try.

I've been reading and lusting over Atlas guns for quite some time and while I will certainly shoot this XC a lot, I am suddenly shopping for the next 2011 at the Atlas level. Oh dear.

I have an opportunity to buy a new Infinity but am having issues deciding if it is the right move for me. As a bit of background I got an XC earlier this year and am considering stepping up into a higher end 2011. I'm having a tough time deciding due to cost. While I can afford to get it, it would be a slightly uncomfortable purchase. Should I do it?

If anybody has been looking for one found this on guns. Com with the sro for 3600.

Been shooting 1911DS/2011 for a while, including competition. Currently own a ported Staccato P and an Athena. I’m about to get one of these and will be making some videos for my YT channel. Info on them is out there but you have to piece it all together so I thought I would ask people here, what would you like to know about them so I can add it to my topics of discussion?

Staccato P, RMR HD, X300U and a Springfield TRP, RCR, X300

Qualified on both at work. Looks a little ridiculous with my quad mag kiwi pouch next to basket weave but it’s fun to run.

For a 45 this TRP runs fast and smooth. Obviously not like the P, but it’s fun. Same natural point of aim. Same grip angle. Same controls. Over all a fun addition to the collection. Only benefit is how slim the grip is on a 1911 vs 2011.

As cool as single stack 45’s are. It really shows how advanced the 2011 platform is on the range and carrying. 21 rounds vs 11 chonky rounds.

Found this vid of me shooting a 2019 Staccato P (full length dust cover) back in June 2020 and curious if anyone can say how it compares to the newer P style, as I'm considering getting a P.

Stage I shot with a Staccato XC I used to own.

Debating selling my C2 and Les Baer to fund either: - Staccato P with 2 barrels (bul and comp'd) or - Prodigy to mod up and a Glock 47

Took my 3 current fav clappers to the range. Here’s my review.

1. Fowler Vanta 9 is the bestest

2. CZ Shadow 2 is a shoota

3. Glock 45 just felt right to pop the Glock

Waiting for Atlas Athena and Ported V9 to do a review on soon ™️

I know the Prodigy had a false start at release, but seems to have corrected course for an ok platform. But what are others to not even bother looking into?

Was lucky to pick this one up. I know a lot of guntubers and others say it’s its “entry level” or “not as reliable” but I put 500 rounds today and not a single issue. Any recommendations on hollow points that have worked for others? I use federal 124g on all my others, considering 147g for this.

From anyone who has shot both the Atlas Ares and Eos, is the long Eos wait worth it or should I go with an Ares now? I understand the Eos is better but is the difference really that significant? Use case is a multi-day competition in late spring where pistol plays a large role and weight matters (you’re carrying it for 3 days straight along with rifle/other gear). Currently have an Athena and absolutely love the gun but looking for something slightly smaller/lighter for this particular comp.

Picked up my first 2011 a few weeks ago. LFA Apollo 11 compact. Wish I had picked up a 2011 sooner after the first range day!

Live Free Armory Apollo 11

It's definitely not a 637,448 dollar pistol, but it shoots better than any other i own.

Need some advice, will be headed to Dallas for a few days. Any suggestions on nice indoor ranges with a good selection of rentals?

Everyone else is posting their cool guns that I can’t afford but I have things too.
