1911

In the last 10 years, a variation of the 1911 pistol has taken over the competitive space and the everyday carry and duty scene. This pistol is the double-stack variant of the ever-popular 1911, known as the 2011.

Tisas is a firearms maker in Turkey and produces the model D10. This pistol offers a lot of quality and performance for a little coin.

These are custom guns with the shortest lead times I have seen in the industry. Based on the 1911 design, the Platypus is designed to use Glock 17 mags.

The Savage 1911 is built on the traditional ‘government model’ platform, but with many upgrades and improvements.

One of the few complaints a man can make about a 1911 is capacity, and the 2011 has fixed that.

M1811 Module design borrows characteristics from the legendary 1911 grip and seamlessly blends them to the grip of the P320. To my hand it is definitely an improvement to the curvy factory grip.

I’ve never seen a double stack 1911 sometimes called a 2011 with these features,  fit,  and finish for anywhere close to this price point. 

A nightstand gun is premised on the idea you don’t have children. I do now, so I have to err a bit more on the side of caution. But as a single dude living in some perhaps sketchy areas, I was a huge advocate of the nightstand blaster. And for that particular role, the 1911 packs some clear advantages.

The “Bad Guy” received one splitting headache – the kind of headache created by five, hard-thumping rounds of .45 AUTO to the front of the noggin.
