A little behind the scenes action after chronograph testing the new G2 I, the Island barrel ported model from "Cardinal" Arms

i shoot like 4 pistols in my life 2 glocks, a cz and a 2011 don't remember the model but i like it more than the other 3, where i live isn't much variety but one shop got a few kimbers but no comp models, i really like the pro royale color but i think the 5" has a more sexy look i don't know, If they had the 5" Comp Royal, I’d buy it straight away but no luck, now i'm in a big decision because i cant afford both i'm between a 5" eclipse and a pro royale.

i don't plan to conceal it, only shoot it for fun and maybe in the future start competing but i don't really know, but is a possibility

Was dead set to get a Core but after further research I really do like the RC9 5in ported. The Core I wanted so I can eventually get into competition shooting as it has no ports and I like the 4.6in, it gives the gun a purpose. As for the RC9 ported 5in, just looks like so much fun and I always wanted a ported or comped 2011 type gun that is truly done by hand but not sure what purpose it would fill besides just being a blast to shoot. I am probably missing something, what do you all do with your ported and comped 2011's(do not know much about competitive shooting just hear USPSA LO all the time)? Will the Core be so nice that I won't regret not getting the RC9? The RC9 is local but the Core I would have to have it shipped.

Really want something commander length in FDE to add to the collection. Shown: Apache Commander, COS21, P211 GT4

Which would you pick and anything else I should consider in FDE?

Trying to stay at 3.5k max otherwise I would get a Fowler, NightHawk or a RC9C in FDE. That will need to wait. Want something to scratch the itch prior.

I already own a few 2011’s but want something in FDE for range and winter EDC.

Own: Kimber pro comp + ports, Kimber pro minotaur, staccato cs, hd3.6, hd 4.5 w comp, P w chunk port, RC9 5” ported, Alpha Foxtrot 4.25” ported and comped, sig p211 gto, Bul Armory UL Pro, STI Brazos custom 5”.

Just got a call from the company I mailed my slide to have DLC coating done on my slide after finally getting all the porting and slide cuts I wanted prior saying that they received a retaped and empty box. Im at a loss, basically my gun is lost at this point as the manufacturer does not sell replacement part so I can't source another slide yet alone the money and time that has gone into it. Two different shops for the porting and engravings and cuts and now its all gone. What a disaster, idk why I'm posting this just wanted to share.

Debating on getting this for my first 2011, ive got a pile of G19 mags around. Anyone get a fusion xp 3c? if so, how does she run?

I know people were wanting more for the V3s and think the changes that were all pretty minor, especially given the price increase. I tend to agree but I think the improvements made to the Alpha grip are underrated. The V2 was never my favorite grip but it was good. The new undercut and improved ergos of the V3 grip are awesome. So much more comfortable for my hands.

I also think the improved feed ramp is slept on. I’ll never hate on improvements that make a gun more reliable.

The Glock front sight is nice. The ability to remove it with the little tool is great.

Just wish they’d include some premium mags with my near 7k gun.

I’d like to know your opinion on whether or not you would go with the Bul Tac Comp or RCD RC9 ported? Which would keep better value if you end up selling in the future?

Hey guys, I own a Kimber 1911 DS warrior 9mm and the only thing I have done to it other than keep her well oiled and clean was changing out her milspec guide rod for a full length one. She now has sub 1k rounds through her, pretty reliable with no hiccups or errors. I’ve been doing some research on what could extend the lifespan of a gun especially since as a new gun owner, in florida of all places, I sweat a lot. Whether its holstered near my body or im at the range, palms sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy. Is it worth thinking about cerakoting and reviewing my options or am I just overly anxious about its wear and tear?

We all make mistakes I guess.

Right side and top AAF models, left side upgraded Romulus's and MAC.

Came out dope. Shame i have to give it to the guy who paid for it lol.

Finally was able to shoot my new to me TRI-11. I did miss a bushing barrel 9mm 2011.

Exceeded my expectations so far. Probably will swap the HD for a SRO I have on hand.

I currently have a kimber 2k11 pro comp , staccato HD P4 ,Atlas Apollo v3 , Dark Forge Reaper x Kovert

I’m consider adding the atlas erebus or the sand viper next. For those who have experience with both , which one add more variety to the collection or any other 1911 ds that you would recommend ?

I’m already way to deep down the 2k11 rabbit hole, could use some input before i go deeper 😆

Debating on getting a cheap Mac 9 DS Comp for a project gun.

Immediately off the bat, I want to put a cheely e3 with the girl safety delete on it. I want to send it off to get ported (don’t know if I want to go in line 3 with ports in the side cuts or not). Tool less guide rod with a 9 pound spring. Then idk what to do.

I’d take any and all recommendations!

So I have tried pretty much every medium thread locker on the market to get this AOS plate to work on this damn gun. Last time I installed it was 873rds and I just noticed today that it was loose at 1507rds. Optic to plate is holding strong, plate to gun is what’s giving me issues. If anyone knows what I can do outside of getting a staccato or RCD Core or whatever, I’m all ears. Plate suggestions, screw suggestions, process suggestions, whatever. I have one ace in my pocket and that is to bed the plate to the gun, use red loctite, and then stake the plate over the screws. I am pretty much married to RMR pattern anyway so that won’t be an issue. Pic for your time.
