So i decided to upgrade my star headliner. Crazy I know but here goes nothing….
Idk if this real or not but looks like an airsoft gun
lol I can assure you none of my firearms are airsoft
That shirt is Pro level.
Krasse Klasse 🤯
🔥🔥🔥 please do a range video.
Video coming soon my brother
Yes let"s do it.Make my Day!!! Let"s have fun ❣️👍👍👍💥💥
That's on point.
As a Staccato owner... they aren't that earth shatteringly amazing; its a nice gun don't get me wrong...but they all function the same. Most owners if you could place them in a blind test shooting them I would bet couldn't tell the difference than most other than the polymer triggers and body of a couple of them. Especially w the Prodigy.
This is very true, I just love the platform as a whole. But then again I love most guns in general lol
@@arsenal_27 agree 100%
I bought a 4.25 prodogy this spring. Did not shoot it until I worked the slide 500 times. Cleaned lots of seracoat out. I then did a parts upgrade. Altlas perfect match ignition system. Atlas full length tooless guiderod. Atlas extended shielded thumb safeties. Atlas trigger. Egw mag well. I have been shooting 1911s for over 30 years. This gun is shocking! I cannot believe how it operates. Absolutely no failures and super accurate. I am into the gun for $2,100.00. Did the work myself so saved on gunsmith. I am certainly no expert but I can say if you want a mean gun at around 2gs get a prodogy and do the upgrades.
I’m thinking of getting a Tisas br9 carry or a Kimber KDS9C which one you think
Two great choices indeed. I’ve shot the Kimber and tho it was nice I personally like the Tisas better. But when I say that I’m referring to the Mac 9 version. Now if price point is a determining factor than the br9 is the best option. No matter which direction you go you can’t go wrong
Please tell us your distance and show us your target shots.
Do you have any top ported firearms?
Not at the moment I have one being done now just waiting on it to be returned. The closest I have to top porting is my Apollo 11
Nice gun wall 💥💥💥
Grave video my friend. One problem. If it cost more than $900. You can't call it budget anything. If it's base buy in of the firearm is more than $900. It's not a budget gun at all.
Did the pistol come that way bruh???
Naw it was ported and coated by Floyd’s custom shop homie
@@arsenal_27 Okay bruh...😎
Nice shirt
Thanks I have a bunch of them this is the latest one
Good review, Thanks!
Awesome, love the ports , love the 2 tone 💪😎👍
I know Robert Johnson when I hear it lol.
Please put a fde lower on that! I just know it would be tough ! How much for the ports ? And where did you send it?
The work was done by Floyd’s custom shop. They have the prices outlined on the site. But it wasn’t really expensive honestly I highly recommend it.
Apollo 11 has a lousy grip module. Call Springfield and order the Prodigy grip module and main spring housing shipped less than $60. I did replace the grip safety with a Chen instead of fitting the OEM one and an Atlas medium trigger. Ordered a magwell from Dawson Precision. Ran out of cash for the 407k.
I’ve upgraded it to the prodigy grip since making this video. Best bang for the buck option for sure. I went with Atlas safety’s for mines
I have really high end double stacks & I have double stacks around the 1K mark. I notice the difference but honestly it's what you can afford. What your willing to pay. What your willing to do? The care you put into your pistol. I think all pistols are great! Yes, I notice a difference but jeez...have an open mind. Some people have a budget. Others don't! Don't shoot (no pun intended) them down for it. I have 2-MAC 9 DS. I think they are amazing! I have all GIRSANS 2011 & I think they look & feel & shoot amazing. They're not Staccato or Bul Armory SAS 2 but they're great pistols. But guess what, I have my Sandhawk from Nighthawk Custom & also my custom Treasurer from them. The guy above is speaking truth. Not everyone is gonna have Staccato cash. Nighthawk Custom cash or Cabot cash. With a little more time & a little more cash to change the internals over time. You can make a a MAC 9 DS flawless. A GIRSAN Witness feel even better. A Springfield Armory Prodigy shoot like butter. Just my 2 cents.
You hit it on the head brother. At the end of the day it's what you can afford or better yet what do you want the gun for. I've had the pleasure of shooting some amazing high guns before and some of them are truly amazing and I can see why they cost what they do. But there is some pretty nice budget friendly options out there too that I feel like some people just overlook based off their price point. I knew when I got mines that I would more than likely do some upgrades right off the back just to get them from decent to really nice. And so far I couldn't be happier. If I had the budget for a Nighthawk trust me I would own one its one hell of a firearm.
That’s sick! Flexing to hard…
Thank you my brother, I can’t wait to take it to the range.
What magwell did you put on the Tisas?
I have the Dawson precision magwell on there
Hey my man, I just purchased a C&H Precision Comp for my MAC 9 DS. I'm a Holosun guy the 508T is my favorite I have that optic on all of my pistols I am going to try the C&H just this once I've heard positive things every where... It looks god on your pistol... Oh I'm loving that song bruh!!! 😎
I’m a Holosun guy myself so I understand where you’re coming from with the reservations about it. But I tried it and couldn’t be happier with it honestly. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all. Let me know what you think when you try it out
@@arsenal_27 Will do..! 😎
The spinning display is a cool idea, however it is less effective in the dark/shade.
Okay bruh I purchased the MAC 9 DS 4.25 for $829 I know I said it had to be a 5" changed my mind bruh... Picking it up this week. What optic are you rocking on the MAC 9? The MAC seems to be flatter..?😎
Congratulations on the purchase you won’t be disappointed I assure you on that one. I’m rocking the new C&H Precision comp optic it’s a SRO style optic. I love the way it looks on mines.
Very nice video! Where did you get the ports done? Thanks!
Thank you I appreciate it. Wolfe Gunworx did the work.
Thank you so much!
I recently got the Mac 1911 ds 400 rounds thru it without any issues only complaint is a 6lb trigger I resolved that right away now at 3.5 probably going to do a few other spring tweaks .
Yeah my trigger pull was crazy too. I have mines down to just under 3lbs now. Next thing I need to work on is the magazine release I feel it is too stiff. I’m contemplating getting mines ported.
I only have two DS 1911s in my collection currently. Neither of them are on the 2011 platform. They are both all steel guns on the Para Ordance style. My oldest is a Springfield Armory 1911A1 in 45ACP and the second is a RIA 22TCM/9MM Convertible. I like them both and they are just 2 of 18, 1911s in my collection. I am interested market for a 2011 style gun and I think I will finally land on the Tisas Nightstalker. This is based on price and quality and aesthetics. I don't question or fault your choice of the Prodigy for its aesthetics as this is a purely subjective criteria. I have two Tisas 1911s in my collection a Stingray and a Nightstalker both in 9mm. I personally think the Nightstalker is one of the most attractive production 1911s currently available. But again this is a subjective opinion not a quantifiable criteria. This is the first of your videos I have viewed but I promise it won't be the last.
I was looking at the Nightstalker at first before grabbing the BR9 Carry. But, they were always sold out. I agree it is a nice looking gun. However, in my state the threaded barrel makes it a problem for us to own sadly. My first 1911 was a Tisas .45 and I still love that gun to this day. Thank you for your comment and I hope I can produce more content that you enjoy watching.
Awesome video I've been trying to figure out witch one of these to get thank u for the show 👊😁
You can’t go wrong with any of them my brother
What do you mean by 3d printed for the Apollo ?
The grip module of the Apollo 11 is 3D Printed. But it does have great grip texture just not as rigid
Go ahead bruh I hear ya... You keep identifying the Tisas B9R a carry, am I correct... Saying carry can confuse some people. I'm getting one of those to be a project pistol very soon. I think I'm leaning towards the ??????????? I don't know at this point. Lol... Has to be 5 inch though. 😎
Yes when I say carry I’m referring to the B9R. The carry is the 4.25 and the duty is the 5in. For the price it’s not a bad gun at all.
@@arsenal_27 Okay as I mentioned I prefer the 5 inch for a project pistol... I have a few mid to high end 2011/DS pistols, like you said bruh very addictive!!! 😎
Nice. I love mine. I have some videos on my channel and ported it.
Definitely wouldn't want to run a comp with a steel frame either, lol. Good vibes on your channel
Why not just use the factory check mate mags. I hear the prodigy mags and others have all the issues.
At the time of filming it I didn’t have the factory ones with me sadly. I didn’t have those when I used the factory magazines
that gun cycle slow
That thing is nastyyyy😮😮😮🔥🔥
Beautiful piece Fam and hell yeah it shoots flat! Just ordered one. Had to sub. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you fam, it’s a very nice firearm you won’t be disappointed.
I love my tp9 sfx... Such a crisp trigger
I started with the TP9 SFX it was my first Canik. I now own 5 and will add that TTI at one point. If you haven’t shot either of the Rivals yet, trust me they have even nicer triggers. All in all I love what caniks bring to the market.
Where ans how much?
Got mines done by Wolfe gunworx. You would have to reach out to him about the pricing because he was doing a whole upgrade to mines. So not sure of how much for just the porting
Reliable afterwards ?
Very reliable no issues before or after the porting
I dont want to knock any of your awesome ds 1911's but in the video it looks like the extractor on the mac 9 might need some work cause it looked like your ejected shells were hitting your optic few times and seemed a little more eregular than the rest of your line up other than that looked like a definite continder with the rest of the line up thanks for the video i really want to get into the ds 1911 or 2011 game always hated the triger on striker fired pistols
Yeah I noticed that after making the video and watching it. It’s since been back to Wolfe gunworx for some tuning.
Any change to recoil spring after this?
No still running the factory recoil spring
Great video!! I have the MAC 9 and can tell you changing out the recoil spring to 12# hammer "main" spring to 17# and a reduced magazine release spring, polishing the disconnector ramp, grip tape on the front and rear of the grip makes a HUGE difference. Add a trigger weight adjustment to your preference and you would be hard pressed to find a better option in this price point. Around $60 in springs and a little time is all it needs.
I run Atlas Artemis & Titan for competition and in interested in a Mac9. I’d do everything you just said but likely a 10lb spring. 17lb Mainspring is a must, 19 at worst. I’d likely do EGW internals as well.
I’m going to look into those upgrade suggestions for sure thanks for the advice
@Orlandoech1 I tried a 10 # and had some failures to go into battery. If you figure out a good combo let us know.
For comparison videos either leave them all stock or give them the same customization- otherwise what’s the point
I made it clear when giving my opinion on the different guns what the pros and cons were even with modifications or not. But I made it very clear that even with the mods or not they were all great guns. The Mac just was released only reason it wasn’t modded yet. But thanks for the feedback. Maybe I’ll do an update video once I get it back from my gunsmith
My MAC 9 is one of the finest pistols and most accurate I’ve ever shot. The sights suck and I had to do a trigger job and bring it down to 4 lbs. but after that it stays in my holster.
The night stalker is intriguing me
I was checking that one out as well
Cool review, I love the T shirt Brother. I kinda like the budget guns. More money for other things. Some of the optics cost more than the guns themselves.
Thank you and you’re right the SRO’s cost about $600 which is crazy to me
Cool
Debating on getting the rival s,x5 legion 320 or the the shadow 2. What's your opinion? Or the Mac 9...😅
wow that's one hell of a line up to pick between. Out of those options the Mac would be my last pick unless you just want to break into the double stack 1911 platform. The shadow 2 with a Cajun kit would be a super dope setup. But if you looking for the best bang for your buck out of the box no mods it would be canik S #1, x5 #2
Thanks. I was thinking the rival s that comes with the optic. My only hold back is I have the mete sft pro. The mc9 canik. The artic splinter mete sft and the tp9 lmao so kinda wanted something different. So I'm thinking the shadow 2 first 🤔. How much does the Cajun kit cost
@@jefferybowem3702 Ok so you clearly a Canik fan so might as well get that S and the TTI...Maybe I'm the worst to ask because I be wanting them all lol
Right lol I was actually watching a video from classic firearms about the tti combat. I'll be getting that as well. Was eyeballing the m&p all metal spec series 2.0 as well. I'm like you bro I'm addicted
@@jefferybowem3702 so I have the spec series and it’s pretty nice only gripe is that the lock screws they use to tighten the comp come loose easily. So definitely make sure vif you get it put extra Loctite on them. But it’s a nice gun. I put a Floyd’s custom magwell on it
You’re grouping is on point. Don’t down play yourself bro. You’re doing better than 80% of folks, including those who get paid to carry.
I appreciate it brother. I try my best to get out and shoot as much as possible. Not always just for fun but also for training purposes. My goal is to one day shoot groups the size of 2in or less. I try to focus on my fundamentals as much as possible.
I can dig it. My hopes are to one day shoot competitively. Until then just working on improved speed and accuracy.
