All kinds of mechanical issues due to using a shorter cartridge than what the base gun was designed for, just to minmax speed. Even the best modern ones still choke with hollowpoints and ammo with shorter cartridge OAL. Just get a CZ or a steel framed PDP or M&P if you want to reduce recoil.
As soon as you drop 2K on one of these things, that's probably right when someone will come out with a steel single action pistol built from the ground up for 9mm, then that will dominate competitions and you'll be stuck with a gaudy looking $2000 gimmick that you won't be able to sell for a fraction of that. That's the real reason I won't buy one, it's not the price, it's that the design has so many obvious flaws that it's an inevitability that someone will make something better. The feed angle is fucking stupid and it's not sustainable, it WILL be replaced. Manufacturers are paying attention.

9mm 2011s are perfectly reliable now, I don’t know what he’s talking about
Best .45 2011 is the Kimber Warrior DS, it’s around 1k. 11/13 round capacity with “flush” and extended mags. The 10mm variant is 15/18 and 10mm prices aren’t that much more than .45 these days.
I spent a lot of money making my own .45 2011 just for Kimber to drop exactly what I wanted at 1k and mostly be what I want. You can always upgrade a 2011 with better parts later, since Kimber uses MIM.

All of them still have an inferior trigger to the 1911.
>Manufacturers are paying attention.
I've been hoping for a good replacement for the 1911, but most of these companies making expensive comp guns (that are alternatives to the 1911) will still cheap out and put a pivoting hinge trigger rather than a straight-pull, sliding trigger that every shooter loves. We've had decades of people gravitating to the obsolete (by obsolete I mean aging, not useless) design because the trigger is just that good. Modern handguns have improved on the 1911 in every way except that trigger. It's been decades since shooting sports have become mainstream, and companies still won't get the hint. We almost got another good trigger with the Hudson H9, but that gun was deeply flawed; sometimes people will get a Tokarev pistol to enjoy that nice trigger in a different platform. Other than those, it's so over for good trigger fans.

Ok cool you're posting an opinion online without the slightest scrap of experience to back it up.
A 2011 is enormously softer shooting than any of those guns, especially the PDP which is the worst of the lot. It's softer than Glock, it's softer than anything. And that's before you add a ton of weight with a steel grip or extended dust cover or brass magwell or add a comp.
You really thought your dumb ass 5 second opinion gleaned from the factious title of a youtube video from a guy whose life revolves around 2011s was worth a thread?

No, it's true; the second a different design with a trigger that is just as good or better comes out into the market, we'll see many competition shooters abandon the 1911/2011 obsession. The other designs are better in many ways, except for the trigger, so the 2011 persists.

>competition shooters shoot a wide variety of guns with great triggers
They all start out with a variety of guns, and yet, the most hardcore of comp shooters all end up gravitating to the 2011 despite its many flaws (finicky magazine, awful feed ramp that makes them ammo finicky, high cost, etc.).

I'm actually interested in finding a bare steel 2011 frame and putting my own together.
I'm buying an Colt 70 series government model slide and barrel (I just want the roll on the side, honestly), gonna have it milled for RMS pattern dot and cut for a tritium front sight.
I'm hoping I can get one of the manufacturers to sell me just the frame by itself.

i don't hate 2011s, i just hate people who don't even own one that say it's some kind of ultimate handgun. They seriously act as if good DA hammer fired guns haven't been around for longer than any of us have been alive. 2011s are cool but not 3000 dollars (used) cool.
>>
>>
>>64910963
1800 dollars niiice.
but anyway i've seen used Staccatos on Gutbroker for 3000 dollars, in fact i think it's still on there. Point is, people pay way to much fucking money for this shit. The Turk 2011s and other American made ones are actually pretty reasonably priced compared to Shillato.

No other pistol on the market has a trigger as smooth due to their pivoting hinge design. Now you have multiple people calling you wrong. BTW, he's under no obligation to answer your request if you won't answer his request in >>64909366 first.

>competition shooters typically go through an ungodly amount of handguns specifically tuned or made for competition shooting
That is correct; it affirms the statement you are replying to. Most competition shooters start out with their carry gun or duty gun, and at the end of the finish line, the majority of them have gravitated to the heavily modified 2011, only pulling out the other guns when they want to participate in a specific division (like when Jerry Mikulek wants to participate in the revolver division or when Bob Vogel wanted to compete in the stock duty gun division). Its funny watching a few of you try and deny that the overwhelming majority of competition shooters own a 2011. You're coping.
>>
>>64909569
Oh yeah, that pivoting hinge is most definitely inferior to a 1911s straight pull, sliding trigger.
>>64910951
If you are not competing, then you don't need one. There are many handguns out there that are reliable, durable, and accurate and will serve you excellently for self-defense, but the fact that the 2011s trigger gives competition shooters such a large advantage over other comp shooters that want to be unique is undeniable. By all means carry a stock striker-slop (cringe) or a DA/SA (based) or whatever, but the people serious about shooting will all eventually get the gun that undeniably has the best trigger.
>They seriously act as if good DA hammer fired guns haven't been around for longer than any of us have been alive.
Derringers have been around for longer than any of us have been alive, does that mean derringers are the best gun?

RMRcc.
Chopped down Fusion extended 1911 released. It was long enough to where my thumb was interfering with the lock back (they go all the way to the safety almost) and I spent idk how many month's thinking it was my mags. Once I chopped it down the lock back has been 100% reliable.
It's still longer than a normal slide release, and is still long enough that I can one hand manipulative everything on the gun without doing the palm flip.
Also serrated my mag cheely release.

there are other handguns with 1911esque triggers that aren't 2011s, i mean shit, even just a 1911. 2011s are just marketed by namely Staccato as not only being competition guns but duty guns as well. They amp their fanboys up way too much. Besides that though, there are plenty of tuned handguns or higher end handguns with great crisp trigger jobs that are probably just as nice. I mean damn, at the end of the day, it's like 5% better?

>there are other handguns with 1911esque triggers that aren't 2011s
Correct, in this thread they've already mentioned the failure that was the Hudson H9 and they mentioned the Tokarev (Russia's love letter to the 1911).
>there are plenty of tuned handguns or higher end handguns with great crisp trigger jobs that are probably just as nice.
There are nice triggers, but they don't come close to the 1911/2011 plattform.

>welp i'll take your word for it that all competition shooters use 2011s. I guess all those times i've seen them using 1911s

>Smith & Wessons, CZs, were just illusions
I never claimed that no competition shooter has ever shot anything else; anyone who reads the comment you are replying to and then your response will understand that you're making a pathetic strawman. They all start somewhere and end up with a 1911/2011 design when they've reached or are reaching the peak of their skill.

May I point you to my first comments, you illiterate tard? See >>64905420 and >>64908911. Furthermore, you are extremely pathetic for trying to claim that wide-body 1911s and 2011s are somehow different from 1911s. You know damn well I have been talking about the glorious trigger JMB created.

Talk about retarded.
With the exception of the trigger bow and mag release all 1911 mechanical parts interchange with 2011s.
And those two parts? They're just wider due to the doublestack magazine.
My roll your own 2011 is all series 70 1911 parts outside of the trigger, mag release, the grip and the frame.
The only reason why the term 2011 exists is marketing from STI to differentiate their version of a widebody 1911 from para-ordinances since the mags are a different shape.

Hey moron, as I've already shown you, my first comments mentioned both, you disingenuous, unscrupulous, worthless simpleton. After I've already mentioned them, I shouldn't have to repeat everything I've already said in additional messages because you are too brain-dead to keep up with a conversation. I praise the lord every day that I'm not as stupid as you. Goodbye, retard. Maybe one day your "friends" and family will give you the attention you so desperately crave.
>all competition shooters use 2011s
I never said that. Not once in this entire thread.
>most competition shooters lean and gravitate and inch towards using 1911s/2011s.
This was always my point.

Biggest issue I had with Staccatos and quite a few other 2011s is the grip, it always felt like holding a beer can. Never cared for it.
With that said, my DWX compact I love. The CZ grip angle with palm swells is more my speed.

Shot my friends full size staccatto. Round 21, feedway malf, extractor lost control and left one of the fired 9mm casings in the chamber.
Exact.Same. Malf. That plagues my 450 dollar tisas DR45.
Nearly 3 grand, still cant tune an extractor.
Glock with dot, costs half as much fully kitted, ring steel rapid fire at 30yds. 400 rounds, no malfs.
Pass on the S.

>>64923725
X to doubt
the Staccato uses an external extractor, there is nothing to tune. If it's not functioning correctly then it just needs to be cleaned or the springs replaced. But since you don't
know that I seriously doubt that it happened

Then "fanboys" had a reasonable discussion where they explained why the platform is so attractive to competition shooters and even mentioned that anyone who doesn't compete shouldn't bother with one; see: >>64911727
>If you are not competing, then you don't need one. There are many handguns out there that are reliable, durable, and accurate and will serve you excellently for self-defense
It certainly wasn't the pro-1911/2011 people acting like manchildren here. Hopefully one day you'll stop projecting and grow up though.
