I have the Cobra. I was so lucky. I visited their website, and they had one in stock, with a blue trigger and mag well. I grabbed it. I can't describe shooting it. Some type of magic is used in the gun's materials and hand-built construction, making it shoot so softly and with spot-on accuracy; with this gun, I can put 18 rounds in the same darn hole on the target.
That looks very slick. Not flashy on appearance, but all function. Yet another time you put something on the wish list!! Have a happy 4th of July, man!
Dude... I budget a lot of money on guns and you always got some fire 🔥 freaking stuff man. When I go to the range people gawk at the stuff I have but you put me to shame. I gotta tighten up!
Ben is the Yoda of Double Stack 1911s. Every time a CZcams gun influencer highlights Hayes Custom, the chance of me ever getting one gets smaller, as the price goes up and the wait list gets longer! (they also have the coolest logo in the game). You should try to get your hands on one of his Island Barrel models.....
Awesome content man !! I purchased a prodigy 20 rnd mag at a local shop. I had to cut down the top of the base plate so it would insert into the Mac 9. It was kid of an experiment to see if it would run. It did, flawlessly, so far other than the mag releases roughly out of the gun but I think it’s the mags finish. I may polish it or just use the dang thing. Thanks man, great running handgun!!!
Hey Skip we talked a couple of times on the phone, the Hayes brothers are awesome, I’m trying to get them to do a 4.6, probably going to get rid of my atlas and go Hayes or possibly Venom.
I'm not familiar with Einstein's love life but I think it's pretty obvious for sure he loved his job (Duty) to amaze society!!! One thing he is and that is a tinker he is in love with something and still finds a way to f#@k with it! My GOD this guy... That's our 2A Einstein..! You got to love this guy..! 😎
Have you had any experience with their sight tracker barrel? I bet the ported sight tracker with steel grip shoots like a dream, I’d like to see that up against the other top tier 2011’s
I’m torn between the Hayes Cobra non ported or an Atlas Athena for my Limited Optics 2011…. Which way would you go having handled both? Or would you choose something else? Vudoos are impossible to get lol
Awesome video as usual. Which one do you think is better. The v-port or ported island barrel. I have the chance to get one later this month! Wish I could get both
@@SkipsGunz I know you have some tie with Vudoo and I respect that. But having been in both of them and knowing the build process it's not a fair comparison. Now from a shooting and practicality stand point I guess there isn't a huge difference.
Built just a well. My version with the v4 shots flat but an Erebus has a lot going for it. Possible that the hybrid barrel version could be a contender, it’s definitely beautiful.
What is the absolute best someone could do if they wanted a 2011 for every day carry and only had $2500? The VA is close to giving me the rest of my disability and I plan to get my first 2011, but I wanted to avoid the budget ones, if I can. Thanks in advance.
@@SkipsGunz Thank you brother, I’ll make sure to reach out once it’s time then. You’re one of the few guntubers I enjoy who tells the truth and isn’t just pitching based on bias.
Lmao!!! Shoot the ever-living shit outa it 🤣 that is a beautiful handgun. Clean and simple with the porting. I’m a total slut for bronze barrels. Idk why LOL

I absolutely agree this thing is a favorite of mine
from the moment i watched ben hayes build the damascus pistols i was like "I WANT THAT!!" I will get one fo sho!
Skip!!! Let's see it vs Atlas Apollo!!!
Thank you!

Same to you brother

Well technically buying guns is my job now lol 😂
I have the Bul armory 5 inch tac pro. It is softer than my XC. I still want this cobra. The rose gold sets it off.
This needs a comparison video asap.
Debating getting one, really like that I can one with a ported barrel and a second regular barrel.
I’m In yt jail for 5 more days but il definitely be filming a vs vid cause j wana see one aswell
Just placed my order with kovert. Can’t wait.
hand fit/built gun. its no surprise that its a step above all the mid priced guns out there.
Silly nice guns from Hayes Custom. I prefer HC Cobra to Atlas guns.
I need to shoot one then, because the Atlas Athena is the best pistol I've ever held or shot.
port vs comp...hayes vs erebus/XC/Sand Viper

That was actually the plan but I’m gona eventually order one
Would love to see the Hayes custom Cobra against the voodoo Priest and the the Atlas Athena please.
I don’t got an Athena but I got a Hyperion I’m gona modify so I got you 😉
I would like this to go up with the Atlas Apollo, I got the Apollo on the way.
I gota test one soon
Years ago I saw the souped up rock island on honest outlaw and ever since I said when I can buy a high end 2011 it will be from them.
Great choice

It’s a impressive piece
We need a race city defense and bul armory video
lol 😂 I need a raise lmao 🤣
I still prefer Atkas over Hayes, but it’s very close. Super close. Better than the vudoo id say.
Oh, would like to see it up against a pistol in its class such as an Atlas, LPWS Chiraq etc... The way they come from the factory!!! 😎
My atlas is plagued i think it’s still a good comparison
@@SkipsGunz Do what you do Einstein. 😎
One of my dream guns
Thing is sick! 🔥🤘
Hey Skip we talked a couple of times on the phone, the Hayes brothers are awesome, I’m trying to get them to do a 4.6, probably going to get rid of my atlas and go Hayes or possibly Venom.
I want a venom now aswell
Always enjoy watching your videos brother
Thanks this gun is a favorite ❤️
Happy 4th Scott. I hope you enjoy the fireworks with your family tonight
Same to u brother
Nice! I was hoping you'd get your hands on a Hayes Cobra!
Me to great guys over there

Always a pleasure reading these you truly are sick either way words brother I love it
🔥🔥
I would really like for you to compare this against the Vudoo Priest with factory porting.
If I can get one I will my priest is plagued
I should have mine by month end!!!
Won’t be disappointed
I have a Sand Viper and considering the Hayes for my next purchase. Can you comment on fitment and recoil?
It’s one of the best handfit 2011s no cnc just actually fit gun
I would like to see Cobra vs Watchtower
I got a good vs coming
I'd like to see 3 way head to head - Vudoo, Hayes, Atlas -
That’s planned in the next week hopefully
Have you had any experience with their sight tracker barrel? I bet the ported sight tracker with steel grip shoots like a dream, I’d like to see that up against the other top tier 2011’s
That’s what I wanted originally but il get one soon
I’m torn between the Hayes Cobra non ported or an Atlas Athena for my Limited Optics 2011…. Which way would you go having handled both? Or would you choose something else? Vudoos are impossible to get lol
When it comes to those 2 your basically getting perfect with either gun I’d get whatever one visually appeals at that point
Awesome video as usual. Which one do you think is better. The v-port or ported island barrel. I have the chance to get one later this month! Wish I could get both
V is effective but island barrels are awesome imo
Definitely Hayes VS Vudoo!
Vudoo loses haha
I’m not sure 🤔 but there both high quality
@@SkipsGunz oh yeah no hate to vudoo, but they are different breeds.
I’m not to sure
@@SkipsGunz I know you have some tie with Vudoo and I respect that. But having been in both of them and knowing the build process it's not a fair comparison. Now from a shooting and practicality stand point I guess there isn't a huge difference.
Are you doing a video on the Vudoo priest with the plague comp?
I think I did a video but I’m gona do a priest vs cobra 🐍 next week weather permitting
It's a beauty
What are some comparison details with an Atlas Titan?
There both very similar only difference is optic cut and serrations and grip
Great video! How is the recoil on the Hayes compared to the recoil response on the staccato XC? thank you!
It’s got alittle more due to the bigger slide but being hand fit you can tell the greatness in comparison
how about a comparison to Legion Precision
That can happen
Uhm the obvious questions how it stacks up against others like Atlas Artemis?
Right up there this is a very high end setup done right
Cheely grips
Is this better than the erebus
Built just a well.
My version with the v4 shots flat but an Erebus has a lot going for it.
Possible that the hybrid barrel version could be a contender, it’s definitely beautiful.
Stack it against the PT Htac Vuudoo Priest or Legion Precision Chiraq

We can figure something out when ready I’d say a stock staccato P used will get u there

@jakemccoy2226 I appreciate that it’s something I take seriously so the truth will always prevail
Heeeeee has an ISSUE!!!!
🤤
Lmao!!! Shoot the ever-living shit outa it 🤣 that is a beautiful handgun. Clean and simple with the porting. I’m a total slut for bronze barrels. Idk why LOL
I love that gun
I don’t think your right on that the priest didn’t move at all the one your shooting now jumps all over the place
There’s gona be a vs video for sure
Nope.
