    I love my DVC limited 40.. but its going on the chopping block for something a bit more custom.. specifically atlas gunworks nemesis.

     

    The DVC for the price is a fantastic gun, I have shot the 3G and know one guy that switched from an XD to the DVC 3G and he couldn't be happier.

     

    I started to dive down the Atlas rabbit hole and was really starting to consider the Titan.  Adam seems like a solid guy and I have yet to hear anything bad about his pistols!  I'm sure you'll love it! 

    I'd like to make that upgrade someday, I need to work on improving myself long before that'll be beneficial.

    Thanks for the insight here.  I'm digging into more options now.

     

    -I hadn't heard of Warwick before- their stuff is nice!  

     

    -The Brazos Edge seems almost perfect, but it doesn't have a rail!  I just imagine a scenario where I want to shoot a night match and have to go back to my Xdm to have a light, it seems like going back to well whiskey after sipping on a nice single malt.  If there was a Brazos Marauder that would be the ticket.  If I found a deal on a used one in 9mm I'd still do it I think.

     

    At the moment I think I'm leaning towards the Marauder, followed by a Brazos Edge, DVC 3 gun/the rest of the options.  

     

    Thanks again for your input!

    Hi all, I'm getting ready to jump into a 2011 pistol.  I've been shooting a stock XDm 9mm and although I don't think it's holding me back I'd like to get into a higher end/performance 9mm pistol.  I've been doing lots of research and keep hearing that I should jump past that middle ground of dumping lots of money into my current pistol or buying a "next step" pistol like a CZ and just go for a 2011.  It will primarily be used for 3 gun and occasionally some steel challenge.  

     

    I don't have the coin for a full custom 2011 yet and that's been pushing me towards the different STI's.  Primarily I'm looking at the Marauder and the DVC 3 gun.  The marauder is around 2k new and seems well equipped for a 3 gun pistol, the price doesn't seem to come down much on used.  The DVC 3 Gun is $2800, drops quite a bit more for used, and the name sure makes me think it's the cats PJs for 3 gun.  Part of me digs the DVC because it looks great to me, the Marauder looks a lot like a normal 1911 which I have plenty of.  So is the price difference between the two justified?   Should I get over the look aspect and get the Marauder or wait it out until I find a nice used DVC?  Am I missing another whole aspect?

     

    Thanks for the help y'all, I definitely appreciate your input.

    Hi y'all!

    I've creeped for a while here and finally joined up.  I'm consistently impressed with the wealth of knowledge the members post and I hope someday to be able to contribute as well as most do.  

    I've been shooting for a while, with no specific discipline, I've just always liked guns and shooting.  I've shot  few 3 gun matches in Colorado and hope to do more of that soon when my schedule allows me to be stateside more often.  

    Thanks for letting me join in!
