After i started shooting steel challenge I wanted to step up in capacity and add optics to my competition guns. Being a 1911 fan the double stack 1911 or 2011s seemed the perfect fit.
The Springfield 4.25” prodigy was the gateway drug to 2011 style pistols. As an entry level double stack 1911 it is pretty hard to beat. There are a lot of parts, magazine, and holsters out there and it’s very similar with the staccato and higher end 2011 parts. After adding a green dot and comp it has proven an accurate and very fast shooting 9mm with very little muzzle rise.

Then I picked up a kimber kds9c for a gun I could carry as well as shoot in competition.

My next is arguably the weirdest of the 2011s. The Stealth Arms Platypus. The platypus is an all aluminum double stack 1911 that takes Glock magazines. It is a very nice shooting pistol. They really have done this well. They also have one of the best gun builder websites around.

Finally I picked up a Wilson combat edc x9. This is easily the nicest pistol I’ve ever owned. I have only put a hundred rounds thru it so far but it’s everything you’d expect in a Wilson combat.

What 2011 style pistols are you all shooting?
