- 2024 will be the year of the sub1k double stack 1911 pistols, also known as 2011 style pistols. This year there are several companies dropping a sub $1000.00 pistol. There are definitely some pros and cons to shopping at this price point, for a style of pistol that normally runs well over $2,000 dollars.
I love your content. I actually took a flyer on the 4.25" model and picked it up about two months ago for sub $800. I haven't had any failures and was happy about that. However, the trigger was exceptionally heavy. I just received it back from Cosaint who did a trigger job with Wilson Combat parts and also had them do the V8 ports on it. All of this brings me slightly less than or on par with a Prodigy in price point while now enjorying a better shooting experience in my opinion. (I sold my Prodigy a few months back and got an AXG Pro) and in that regard I'm satisfied with the results. I'm now waiting for Summer to arrive when Bul Armory new releases are scheduled to drop, but this will keep me occupied form time to time. You do get what you pay for.
I’ve never understood why gun reviewers say that they didn’t clean and lube the weapon before testing/reviewing. They say shit like it should run out of the box. Well, yeah. I guess they think it’s some sort of testament to the quality of the firearm. They might be lubricated from manufacture or they might just have some sort of preservative coating to protect them during shipping and storage. Usually reviewers do it with the inexpensive firearms for some reason over very expensive ones. I doubt anyone who competes or uses a firearm where someone’s life is on the line doesn’t clean and lubricate their firearm after taking it out of the box.
Bul’s punch well above their weight
Many of my clients bring me their new unfired guns to make them range ready !
Not following, is this a statement or a question? The Girsan ran quite well out the box.
@@luismazza7969 maybe, but there are better options in the 2011 market
@@rdrgear that’s for sure
Much more interested in the Tisas double stacks or the MAC sds import for entry level offerings. The LFA Apollo 11 is sub 1k and is solid. Not sure lower cost than the platypus, prodigy, and Bul is worth the squeeze given how good CZ, Berettas, Sigs, and other hammer guns are these days.
You should check out the Tisas DS "duty" 5inch. I think u would love it more so then this pistol. Got mine for $750 amazing fit and finish for the low cost.
I have the Tisas 4.25 $760 and it’s great, a little spring tuning and the trigger is 3.5! The only complaint from me was the grip safety was stiff but fix that with the spring adjustment also.
Just picked up the tisas nightstalker double stack I think tisas is a better option than these you retain rear iron sight with optic plate and it comes with 2 mags I have both the nightstalker and standard 4.25 inch models and so far I haven’t had 1 malfunction with either have 700 rounds threw the nightstalker and 300 threw the 4.25 standard model.
I bought the Girsan 2311 in the 4.25 inch let me tell you I sold it after a week of having it reason being they dropped the ball on making the gun 🤦🏻♂️so I went with the MAC 9DS let me tell you was the best decision I made 💪🏽
Dude I'd actually really appreciate if you could review one of the new MAC 2011's or the Tisas ones. I think they're made in the same machine shop with a different brand name to delineate different price points or feature sets or something. Or it could just be a separate customer contracted that shop to make some 2011s under their brand. They claim there are no MIM parts and that everything is machined.
I wanna see if those guns run. i have two Caniks and those work great. I have several thousand rounds through my Canik Rival with zero issues until I started messing with it by adding a comp lmao. The OEM configuration has been flawless though. Even if the MAC/Tisas require some hand polishing--I'd be fine with that. I'm a tool and die/machinist apprentice so I'm no stranger to hand fitting/polishing steel components.
EDIT: Okay I'm confused about that included red dot, can you tighten it down or is it like....some sorta weird mount? Is it a unique red dot footprint or something? Cuz if its not a unique footprint I'd just throw that right in the trash. This is why I want the MAC version. It's got an RMR cut which is what I want anyway.
The Tisas models will be on deck first, im working the MAC models as well. I really feel these are going to be very well received. If they shoot anything like they feel. The SDS imports brand is going to crush!
The rds cut on the Girsan is like a eps carry. I should have swapped it out. But i wanted to see how the gun would run.
I picked up a tisas 1911 ds. Definitely "budget" friendly but 200 rounds and shoots like a champ but I have little 1911/2011 experience to compare it to
Dude definitely upload some videos of it in action. I'd really love to see how it performs. I'm keeping an eye on every channel I can find who is shooting one of those. I want one if they work. I am planning on waiting until summer at least to see if there are any teething issues but I want one. I just ordered my first suppressor anyway for my ARs so that took up a little chunk of change. I got an Otter Creek Labs Polonium K. The can isn't too expensive but I gotta invest in some Rearden mounts, at least a few of them.
@armorers_wrench awesome you'll love the ottercreek can. Gonna be a tad gassy and mag your mags nasty but gonna sound great!
@@jaredandrews379 Well i got an a5 buffer system and I have the Radian SD charging handle so those two things should help. If need be I'll add a Bootleg adjustable BCG into the mix. Man I spend way too much money on guns and stuff lmao. At least I'm not in debt though =P
My first suppressor was gonna be a gassy can anyway. I may eventually get some sort of low flow/flow thru can like a Velos or something but those have their own downsides. i've heard the Polo K actually isn't too bad on shorter guns as far as traditional suppressor designs go and its made out of rugged materials and is serviceable if something gets worn out--at least I'm pretty sure it is. I almost got an RC2 but I talked to a lot of people who own a lot of suppressors including Cody Curry(110 SASS actual, the youtuber) and he told me that the Polo K was the best suppressor for the money. At first he asked if I was willing to spend like $1800 on a KAC and I was like "Not until I have a KAC upper to go with it" and then he was like "alright if you don't wanna spend enough to get the KAC, get the Polonium K" and FocusTripp said basically the same thing minus the KAC suggestion so I got the Polo K lol
@@armorers_wrench I just received mine. Out the box it is more in line with a Prodigy. It has a bul barrel and the trigger pull is lighter than the Witness, but it does still need a little work. I really like it though it's pretty heavily sprung. I've been told the spring will lighten with more rounds through it.
Mine arrived yesterday. It is definitely more of a complete package out of the box than my Witness was.
When you get the opportunity could you do a review of the Oracle Arms 2311?
When is the JSOC MAC 1911
Review going back up??
I have been running some hard-core testing on that thing and I’m interested to see your thoughts.
Nice information
Given i dont know, i have a Prodigy, is there really $1000-$1500 more between a Springfield and Stacatto?
My experience with 1911 started in 96 in US ARMY, then thr Prodigy. So limited so im asking.
We need for you to give us an EDC video !!! ASAP a top 5 or a too 2 😊
The Girsan 2311 is one of the worst guns ive ever shot. Absolutely atrocious
It’s not 100% all bad. What other 2011’s do you own.
OLights work, if youre into those. Lol. I had one on mine, took it off. I have the tlr9 on mine. Which also works.
I would’ve thought it ran 320 mags being called 2311
Would a rmsc to acro plate work to run an acro
No the cut for the dot is not big enough for the acro.
I do know the 10mm has a steel slide and frame whereas the others are aluminum frame
Quantico alchemy at home
I already do.
i know, its your bby, just a joke @@rdrgear
Anyone considering this would be better off with a used p226 legion sao. I’ve sold my staccatos and kept my legion.
I have an affordable 2011, it’s also called a Glock 19x. Does the same thing for hundreds less. All my 1911s are 45s. If you want to get a 9mm-euro-cap-gun get a stupid Glock. If you want a man’s gun, get a 1911 in 45.
Glock 19. The Honda civic of handguns.
The Girsan 2311 is still better than a stock glock 19 out the box
That optic is E waste
3:06 I knew it trash .
Trash or gass this is trash .
Tisas on the other hand is gass .pick up their 2011.
You obviously don’t follow us on IG. It’s coming. 🤙
So you politely said, it’s a turd, and you are going to polish it?? So, you will have a shiny turd. I have never understood the argument for these types of guns. If I were to buy this, I promise that I’d end up spending another close to 1K on it. Why? At the end of the day, this is still an econobox gun. Good luck reselling it when you want to upgrade.
You are true in many points. You probably should look at my other 2011 videos. Before thinking I would worry about trying to move a sub 1k pistol.
LONG STORY SHORT, ITS A POS 💩
Can’t wait to read the rebuttals on this comment. “I’ve got 30 rounds through it and it’s as good as a nighthawk”
Ha
Not in the least. You obviously did not listen to what I said.
@@rdrgear I heard you say it had 4 malfunctions, doesn't work with a surefire unless you permanently alter your $300 light, and the optic and optic mounting system is an afterthought. Sounds like a pos. The fact that you are defending it is kinda sus honestly.
@@connorw1494 the fact you used the word “sus” tells me so much.
