ok, that was a lot and a lot of good info and a lot of stuff I have heard before so good to know it is consistent, seems like a lot of the 1911/2011's have the drop issue if it is dropped barrel first.
So before I ask my question, I will preface by saying I understand and am trying to shoot more, tryting to get in 4-6K of Pistol rounds a year, would like for it to be more, but since I have to drive to my two Gun ranges I am a part of which are both a ways, that is the best I can do, but I am trying, and want to do more and researching that now as we speak. I have owned a truck load, SAO, Striker fired, DA/SA, more than the avg gun owner, and sold the same, I personnally have a serious flaw, always looking for that perfect feeling, in the hand type gun, perfect feeling trigger pull gun, mostly when it comes to Pistols, My shotguns and rifles have stayed pretty consistent, haven;t sold any of those, but a ass ton of pistols have come and gone. I have only kept and will keep a Custom NHC 45acp, a Colt Python 5" and a Colt Anaconda 4", all bucket list items. I have owned a Atlas but regretably sold it, now I kinda wish I had it back. My grip and recoil manangement have drastically improved and looking to nothing but BILL drills and 10/10/10 and more of the draw timed drills as I can find time, etc.
So, with all of that being said from you and from me, and maybe your not inclined to say since you sell, however, I love the 1911/2011 platform regardless of the drop issue, they are just a dream to shoot, you shoot those regardless of make, anything over $2K and compare it to anything else and nothing else compares, and I think most would agree on that regardless of price, the fit, finishand trigger feel fo a 1911/2011 is second to none, that is why you see so many more companies getting into the game cause the demand is there. I unfortunalty do not have access to all these like you do, just one LGS having the Staccato's but nothing high end to compare or feel. So I have to kinda go by what people on here or 1911addicts say or start buying several $5000 and playing test side by side, but other than a few rich people or people like you who test or sell, who can do that? So I do want 1-2 maybe even more in time, of these guns we have alluded to but at this time, this is my as well as most people's options is to go by word of mouth and trust even though everyones tastes and hand size is going to be different.
So of these guns you have shot and you have mentioned shooting, what you get for your money etc, what would you suggest, I feel right off the bat right like most that have replied and say skip the XC and get the HAYES, since it is probably the best bang for buck for what you get and shooting experience, but is there something I am missing, a Phoenix Trinity, The wasteland (whcih most has said it is nothing more than a better looking Staccato). Anyway I will leave it there and see what oyu have to say, thanks for the info and looking forward to hearing your recommendation's
I had Matt Cheely build me 20 pistols before he took off and have owned numerous Infinty pistols. STI aka Stacatto can rebrand all they want but at then the end of the day they are production pistols.
