      @claymac2011 still torn on what I want for a second one. Lol. I bought the platypus because I felt the price to performance, mixed with Glock mags. It's a gun I could do classes with and training, beat up and not feel bad and mags are a dime a dozen. But I want something a bit nicer just to have. 😂. Aesthetically the TWC black does it for me. But the. I think for another grand to 1500 I'm getting into Atlas and nighthawk territory.

      @ I understand the dilemma. Only if we had unlimited funds 😂Well if you want to come up in price just a bit. Checkout my review on the KustomWorx Vulcan. That gun is so so nice and you don’t break the bank. Base price is $3200 and you get all the high-end features. The action in the gun is amazing and has a 6-8 week lead time. Hope this helps.

      Thank you for your kind words. My goal is do things differently than other gun reviewers. I don’t do these reviews to make money because I have a job…lol I like take all my guns apart and show you what you get in your build as well. I’m blessed to have a be able to buy these guns and I know some folks can only afford one gun. So, I want to bring facts and real world experience vs some guy giving their opinion. This way folks like you can make an informed decision to see if the gun is right for your use case. My other goal is to assist companies to give honest feedback so they can improve their product line without any negativity. I moved to a grading system for his reason to articulate the true differences between these 2011s. Thanks for watching.

      @claymac2011 heck yeah I like it, sounds like a good goal! Helping others learn the right way is the best way, there's a lot of misinformation and many of a reviewer who gets paid off eventually. Giving criticism to a company product can be beneficial if they have any QC to speak of. But doing it in a way that they find inviting is probably the tricky part. 😎🤟👊

    Have you seen the new Hex model they have? Also, the Holosun PID goes really well on that pistol if you’re interested. Last but not least please do a review on the GP arms patriot as they are really interesting to me. I’m looking into getting one as a new competition pistol for next year.

      I was looking at it the Hex other day and looks pretty cool with the ports and pinned grip safety. I try to keep my X300s on my guns because that's what my holster fits and hate buying new ones. I've looked at the GP Arms 2011s but I've got my Hayes Customs on order and can't buy another 2011 until that one comes in here a couple months and I'm going to ShotShow.

    I heard you say you don’t like the Staccato’s polymer trigger but I ordered my Staccato XC with their new aluminum flat trigger they now offer. They ran out 10 minutes after I bought mine but they said once they get more stock in they will offer them on the C2, P, XL, and XC along with making a trigger swap option on their site. They will offer an aluminum flat and an aluminum curved trigger then.

    I wasn’t at all impressed with the JC. The Black is better but the mim internals is some bs…
    Slide to frame wasn’t great, safeties weren’t great, trigger wasn’t great, load chamber indicator..
    I wouldn’t pay 3k for it

    • @claymac2011
      @claymac2011  13 днів тому

      I get your position but I can swap these parts out easy days for a $120 or less depending a sale, so I'm not too worried about the MIM parts. I think I'd be on your side of the fence if it was plastic grip, sharp thumb safeties and MIM parts at $3K🤣 I love all metal 2011s so $120 EGW kit vs $600 cheely grip? These are the trade-offs I'm talking about in the review. My slide to frame and barrel lock up were on point. I found through my 2011 journey that sample does matter to a degree. I have a couple Staccato's that are still pretty tight and others that aren't. So again YMMV. You still didn't answer my Prodigy ejector question? What say you on tuning the tip?

    • @PnP-td1mt
      @PnP-td1mt 13 днів тому

      @ I still think a steel P or Heritage P19 LE (if you can find 1) is a better buy than the JC Black.
      The smooth gripped JC isn’t even a consideration for me.
      1 of my training partners works for Vance’s outdoors. A JC dealer.. They have several of each model in stock at multiple locations here in Ohio. I have had several in my hands and shot both. I have done Altas ignition kit (EGW was out of stock as usual), pin kit, colt sear spring, trigger job, and wide ambi safeties in the original version for a buddy that bought 1 used from Aim Surplus. I think he snagged it for 1800 ish..
      I actually found the Alpha Foxtrot Romulus to be a better fit pistol which is half the price. The grip obviously is sup par compared to the JC black..
      what prodigy ejector question? If I had seen a prodigy ejector question I would have answered it.
      The ejector in my prodigy (bought used) wasn’t tuned. Someone did a good job installing it but didn’t tune the tip..
      I cheated and compared it to a staccato 😂. Matched the length to my Heritage P19. Then loaded a mag with dummies and marked the top round. Shaped to bottom of the ejector so that the top round and mag didn’t hit it while using the staccato as a guide..
      However none of that really means anything if the chamber is to tight. Many prodigies need their chambers reemed and finished.
      My 5” did. My 4.25” did not.

      I’ve heard good things so far on the AF Romulus as well. I’m on a buying freeze until my Hayes gets in. 😢 I love collecting 2011s. So what isn’t good for you maybe is good for someone else. I find some folks are negative people and want to crap on these companies when they feel a way about a gun without any experience with shooting it or handling it. However, I do understand your thoughts because I shot a RC9 and was like yeah not for me😂 I want to grade each gun on its own merits and report the news. That way people can make an informed decision whether to buy or pass. Hopefully JG will hear me and others feedback and continue making changes to refine thier guns. I critique my guns in a way others won’t because I focus on the technical aspect that others don’t know how or simply won’t spend the time going down the rabbit hole. I spent my military career being serious and now retired I just want to have fun and shoot some guns brother 😂Now on to your assistance, I broke my ejector on my Prodigy and want to replace it myself. I see some folks say tune the tip aka file some material off and others say no filing needed. What’s been your experience?

      @ at no time was I attempting to crap on any company or try to somehow be “negative”.
      You mention being “technical”..
      I am technical. Data and facts. Someone being upset over that is their problem..
      Being “technical” is what I do for a living. Manufacturing quality control process and improvement via automation.. Figuring out ways to get tighter machining tolerances AND more parts out the door.
      Cutting exotic metals like TI, Inconel, Stellite, Hastelloy…
      The last week of my life has been spent trying to revive a 650 model Okuma that cooked is main CPU (UCMB)board..
      those that attempt to claim I am being “negative” are those typically trying to BS people. Way to many “guntubers” out here telling people what to buy that poses 0 mechanical understanding let alone any real armors experience.
      Like G. Lusk from Watchtower. I show the issues with my Apache and my conversations with him about said issues (I was told they’d swap my grip for free but I couldn’t tell anyone) and now I am somehow personally attacking him 😂
      I haven’t even begun. I have a number of videos that I haven’t dropped yet. Like one showing where staccato changed their frames on their full size guns like the XC. They no longer accept Atlas/MBX mags yet staccato reps are all over social media claiming nothing changed. You can’t do anything about it either as they won’t test their guns with said mags. Only Staccato mags.
      I haven’t seen much in the form of greatness with the Romulus. My prediction is quality will actually go down to get more guns out the door. But we will see. I should have a few to fool with after the first of the year..

I also never said you were negative (I'm on Reddit 🤣) but I will say your very critical which can come off as negative but you back it up with facts and I respect that. I also back up my thoughts with real world experience and facts and sometimes we won't see eye-to-eye and that's okay. I'm no gunsmith but have a solid foundation from a technical perspective on how these guns should be at each price point hence all my categories. I think I'm the only guy on YT that takes their guns fully apart and walks through each component part of the gun for what it's worth. I'm not sure some of the big guntubers know how to even do that piece but will give a high-level overview to sell a gun. They also won't do it because they won't monetize their videos through partnership program. I have it on pretty good authority that some gun guntubers make as much as $15K for a review (I believe the kids call this schilling 🤣) I have a very important and demanding job that pays me very well and I just do this stuff has a hobby because I just love guns and more guns 😎 I hope you can see , I love to learn new things and chat about these guns. I'm also willing to admit when I'm wrong if I misspeak. I think you should do more reviews other than you shooting shorts because you could bring real value to the 2011 space. We need more technical folks like yourself giving their thoughts so these companies can step up their game. I was curious what 2011s do you like since you don't seem impressed by a whole lot?🤣🤣
