@@johnhenningsen5203 I suggest going off of the sizing of Hestra gloves. I wear a size 10 with them

@@gair1944 thank you sir, and yeah…. 12 months is a LONG time to wait. Trust me, I still LOVE my Athena and that is really hard to pass up.

@@Jeremy-by6pg Shalotek p365. Flex lower (X-macro size) and XXLC Sentinel upper. I have a few videos made specifically on that pistol

@@JohnLee-jk5ew yeah it’s crazy. Not sure what the makers or discreet cost at the moment but they are very good also. Black butterfly ammo loads the makers projectiles also

@@B.m.g_Daniel well holy shit that’s wild hah.

@@SmallArmsFirearms blackstone shooting sports in charlotte nc. Check it out if your ever in nc.

@@andrewhsia2177 out of the 3 other people I know that own this and myself, no issues whatsoever after who knows how many rounds. Plus there are multiple people that sell replacement 3d printed parts that work better than the original trigger on the discord chatting server

@@SmallArmsFirearms Thanks. can you give me a link for the discord?

@@andrewhsia2177 I think it’s on their website. I’m not home at the moment sorry

@@CRracer52lfd never heard of them. I’ll have to check them out too

@@curtisbottoms3316 thank you

@@CiciK222 never shot one and would love too.

@@techguy1911 aluminum. It’s just that good

@@nickslosubi690 not sure I understand? It has the same energy as 45acp but with a flatter and more accurate trajectory. I did call out how you will get much better performance using 300 blk supers and much better stopping power, but I want it as quiet as possible for the specific application I built it for. I also keep a 9mm, 12 guage, and a 5.56 SBR for HD also. Using decentralized storage for them. *edit* I was mistaken. I think I did my reasoning and comparison on my “best HD gun” video where I discuss why I chose 300blk subs instead of 9mm, 45acp, 10mm, etc.

@@nme_trap hahahahh. I forgot to turn off Steve’s mic while they were setting up new steel plates on the other pistol range. Good to know how well that DJI signal travels over distance and through concrete.

@@victorchapa2789 Out of sight out of mind my friend. I had to wait 326 days for my last can. But once it arrives…. Bliss.

@@SmallArmsFirearmsagreed, I’m trying to forget I bought one, just waiting for that email that’s it’s coming home haha! Great video man, I check every day for new Hayes uploads since there’s very little of them!

@@victorchapa2789 anything you want me to test or do on the hayes?

@@SmallArmsFirearms realistically if it’s not a big bother, I’d love for you to upload just a review video on it alone, and have all your thoughts about it explained, basically what you did in this video just more in depth if you get what I understand. More of you shooting as well, it was awesome.

@@victorchapa2789 you got it. I’ll see if Steve will let me borrow it Tuesday evening. We are filming a pistol dot video on Tuesday then doing a bowling pin shoot.

@@rmp5s better to be safe than sorry

@@oddsparrow8522 I think some have licensed out their designs but definitely not all of them

@@SemperDave0311 thank you for watching

@@syphonslaw thank you!

@@nOObels1 apologizes my friend.

I'll have to ask Steve again, he got an email about a shop that had one in stock and just snagged it.

@@SmallArmsFirearms Would like to know bruh... 😎

@@Thomas-vt7cz Sorry, it was a little early in the morning to text him: battlehawkarmory.com/ Is where he ordered it from

@@CR12221 glad you liked it!

@@SNBI2A or get a second barrel with porting to match in case you ever decide to do limited optics division in USPSA

@@SEAKPhotog damn that is a light trigger! I really really want to try a DS9 and another friend has one but was sick and couldn’t make it to the range. So hopefully soon I can run it against the others. The Hayes was not ported… I can’t imagine what the ported ones feel like

@SmallArmsFirearms Looking forward to a DS9, Vudoo, Air comparison when your buddy feels better.😉 I'm happy the Hayes wasn't ported. Most reviews feature ported Cobras. I'm not a ported barrel fan, so it was nice to get a look at a Hayes I may actually order. (Altho TBH, I may end up with a new or used Atlas since they're readily available without wait times and the older I get, the less I want to wait a year or whatever for a gun 🤷🏻‍♂️). As for the Air trigger, yeah, trigger discipline is a must 😬. I should probably increase the pull weight a bit but it's so much fun. 😁

@@SEAKPhotog I love that Hayes offers the ability to buy 2 barrels when you build one out. That way you can use the ported barrel on things like steel challenge or just fun range days, then swapping to the non-ported for things like limited optics division. And if you're already spending $5k+ on a pistol... whats another $300 hah.

@@SmallArmsFirearms Yeah, that's absolutely a cool choice and one that I'd certainly consider.

@@donwelchmusic it’s all a matter of opinion I guess. Appreciate the feedback sir.

@@drip2hard645 great idea. I’ll add it the end of my videos and when I get home will edit the description

@@Jon-nw6br really appreciate it

@@EvRyDayCarry thank you!

@@jimbobborg22 was just reviewing and rating double stack 1911’s that you generally can’t ever find at a “gun store”. As far as comparing them, I am giving them a score in each category compared to ALL pistols I have ever shot. Not just other 2011’s or race guns. For the sake of telling the viewers why one gets a certain score, it just helps sometimes to say “the 2311 doesn’t have a perfect trigger like this race gun, so it gets xyz score instead of a 10/10”. Sorry for any confusion.

@@SmallArmsFirearms Okay, thanks for the further explanation. BTW, I have no idea where you are located, but one of my local gun stores, which is also a range and a gym, is a stocking Staccato dealer and has three OA 2311s in stock, plus it has a few Atlas pistols in stock. They have for rent several of the Staccato pistols if you want to try them out. I have not personally shot the Staccato C, I have shot the XL, which is exactly like my STI DVC 3-gun. I also have the original STI Staccato (single stack) before the name change. I have no complaints with either pistol. And on a side note, I do have an SVI Infinity limited gun. Not flexing, just letting you know my experience.

@@jimbobborg22 Woah! can you actually rent an Atlas or just the Staccato's? I'm in Colorado and there are a few ranges that have Staccatos you can rent but nothing like the 2311's or "custom" 2011's. I'm glad they have 3 of the OA 2311's in stock, that means they might be gaining traction? Scheels in Colorado Springs does usually stock a couple Atlas pistols here and there, but you obviously can't rent them to try but you can at least get a feel for the ergo's that way.

@@SmallArmsFirearms Sorry for the wait. Yes, they have two Atlas pistols for rent, as well as the complete Staccato line. They also have the SA pistol for rent, too. They're using the rentals to sell pistols, which I think it is a good strategy. Yes, they carry Atlas and Staccato, as well as a few other more expensive pistols.

@@jimbobborg22 that’s awesome that they can handle the overhead like that, it’s very rare to see a store/range so that.

@@user-ed5jh3ff6u thank you

Any luck on that front with them? I've been dreaming of a similar build

🤣🤣😂😂🤣

That's really unlucky, the 4 I have personally shot all felt the exact same. I have already reached out to Hayes to try and see about possible trades....

@@jaceprovo thank you for taking the time to comment and watch. That erebus and your friend sound wild. I didn’t even think it was possible to do a bull drill that fast from holster hah! I agree about the hard case part. I use a simple pistol sleeve because I’m always bringing multiple guns as well.

@@SmallArmsFirearms well…I can’t do that, that’s for sure. 😀. Sounds like a six shot hammer follow. He shoots an atlas Artemis and he can get .11 splits.

@@jaceprovo like a 1.60 bill drill from low ready is good for me hahah

@@Blebobeep7492 thank you sir

@@yut2bibble yes! I totally forgot to mention that but the competition magwell it came with is like cheating.

@SmallArmsFirearms it's actually part of the grip design and autocorrects without needing the magwell. It's some black magic for sure. Also hayes mentioned in another video that they made the magwell flat on the sides so you can prop it up for table/ barrel starts.

@@ZChaosFactor I need to buy a ported hayes with two barrels. One ported and one not ported. I love them so much at this point

I'm curious about the emphasis on finish material. I have guns with all the coatings mentioned and see absolutely no difference in function. I shoot 2 or 3 times a week (admittedly spread over a lot of pistols) and haven't seen any significant wear issues. I have seen Cerakote duty guns get holster wear on the finish, but that is a lot more abuse than most guns are ever going to get.

@@DaveandDebe I appreciate your support my friend and the finish definitely can be a determining factor for some but not generally for myself when it comes to the guns performance. For me at least. I assure you, no one paid me a dime, or even gave me so much as a coupon to do this video lol. Just my honest opinions.

@@SmallArmsFirearms Thank you!

@@yut2bibbleHow many of your guns are 2011s? Cerakote is a inferior finish when dealing with the tight tolerances on this platform.

@@kevf500 I have heard so many good things about those. I would just ask yourself what your use case is and make sure that model checks all the boxes for you

@@ZChaosFactor THANK YOU!

@@Thomas-vt7cz I’m out here just causing drama left and right hah!

@@Thomas-vt7cz a 2011 by definition is a 3pc platform a 1911 is 2pc

@@JackJones-w5f I know this 2011 is a Staccato thing no one else can label their double stack a 2011 so they say DS for double stack... 😎

@@SmallArmsFirearms You ain't lying Lol!!! I don't own a Hayes but I am interested in one I am going back and forth with some youtubers I think Hayes is better than Venom Customs I don't know about Atlas though which I have the Atlas Apollo on order should be here in November. We will see... 😎

@@Thomas-vt7cz those venoms…… damn…. I want one

I totally agree!!! Just need to find someone that owns one first

Huh? When did I say a Platypus is as good as an Atlas, it literally scored lower. The Platypus DOES beat Atlas on the price category though... And yes, I own a Toyota too (I was a mechanic for years and understand quality per dollar). The price category is more like "best bang for the buck" kind of scoring.

@@SmallArmsFirearms you should have labeled the video as best bang for your buck. I never watch those videos. Then you could put on a Hi Point and called it a 2011.

@@garyokie4893 I apologize for misleading you then.

Holy shit are 2011 guys a bunch of whiny babies.

@@wellsbibo6175 not all. The 2011 subreddit is full of a lot of great guys with fantastic advice, but…. This is UA-cam hah. There’s a reason I addressed the staccato thing in the beginning.

Your Platypus outshoots Staccato XC?

@@garyokie4893 He might be comparing the platy to the Staccato P as that is more of the same price range and setup since either don't have a comp.

You nailed it. It's just like you said, I really do like how Staccato's shoot, but come on already, there are other companies building better stuff for cheaper with more features. At this point, it's just people that are in love with the brand name.

@@SmallArmsFirearms See that’s the problem. People always compare against Staccato. Staccato is a brand, not a model.

@@garyokie4893 fair. That’s why in the video I make sure to call out the P and the XC as they are fairly different levels of pistols.

@@isidrosevier1125 I would agree with everything you said

@@SmallArmsFirearms plus adding the primary machine match barrel and comp, it is fantastic. I just wish the pre travel and over travel on the trigger was better. Even done up, it could still be better. If cz would just add the dwx trigger, aluminum frame, and ported it would be amazing

@@isidrosevier1125 yeah I feel like there is someone out there that has had to of done something like that to a p07. It would be fun to shoot too.

@@SmallArmsFirearms yea for sure

@@SmallArmsFirearmsExcept it’s not a 2011
