motosapiens Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'd slap an optic on my existing 40 limited gun, and shoot major. Obviously minor is competitive, but I already have a 2011, so why spend more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC3D Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'll get my TSO milled and throw a 9mm barrel in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Well I'm having ine built already by Venom Customs. Out of the ones on that list...... none. They are all way over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'm one of the Poor's that would probably end up with a Rock Island or a Springfield LOL, but out of that list I'd go Infinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaize Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I would shoot that new US made P226 X5! I wouldn’t mind picking one of those up, but hard to justify the price when I can’t really play with it in any USPSA division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I wouldnt,, I'd run a production and available striker gun that will run on factory spec ammo with mags a third the price that dont need tuning, and not lose one whole second of sleep worrying about a $4000 2011 and their $100 plus mags and tuning kits. And I have custom 2011 limited guns sitting in the safe.. Id still just run a plastic fantastic,, Just so much less worry and tinkering... At one time I enjoyed tuning and tinkering,, Not so much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of the main reasons I've shot a plastic gun in limited for so long. It just works and makes life easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachjet Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Funny how not one person here answered the question I have no experience with anything other then shooting my buddy’s atlas Athena with a slide mounted dot. So that gets my vote although I Dono how much that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick303 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I answered above as an Atlas Athena. It is same gun you have shot. Every Atlas shooting 9mm minor just runs from my observation. People will say that 2011s are not reliable. Mine has been. Most of the issues I have seen with minor 2011s are operator induced. Not understanding how important OAL is for a given 2011, how to keep the extractor tuned and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of my collection are 2011s, and they've been nothing but reliable. I've had more malfunctions in plastic guns that I've since sold. My impression is that the perspective on reliability is a lingering one from years past, when they were more questionable than they are now. Answering the question, I'd go Atlas from the list.

Infinity>Atlas>Nope>Hell no Just by an open gun. At some point there will be lobbying for a new division for single-action only frame mounted optics with compensators that identify as Carry optics guns. You will be ahead of the curve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBomber Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Two options:. Either have a new upper made for my limited gun or find a Para p18 and have the slide milled. Gotta save money somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsbygiz Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I appreciate the comments… The worst part is I called all four of them today, hoping a few questions would help me decide… the only one that answered the phone was infinity… and unfortunately she couldn’t answer my questions, but did write them down and take my name and number.

GigG Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 If such a division comes to be I might try the new Springfield Armory Prodigy and a trigger job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsbygiz Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I think the prodigy needs a lot more than just a trigger job… egw internals and a lot of polishing… non mim parts…especially the safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 If I had to have a 2011 for the game, that would probably be my route.. SPringfield,, then change most of the guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsbygiz Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Well I actually shot the prodigy today and I have to say it looks ok and feels ok… but it’s no where near atlas or even staccato/bul quality for that matter… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've shot friends Phoenix and Infinity and they shoot well too. one of the guys I shoot with has a pair of Atlas and a pair of Infinities and he hates the Infinities. He says he has had issues with them running and had to send them back a couple of times. He shoots the Atlases because they "just run" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
