Hunt, Compete, Defend
The debut of Springfield Armory’s 1911 DS Prodigy pistol has created a lot of buzz. I’m cautiously optimistic about it, but I’m fired up about the waves it may create for the 2011 platform in the defensive pistol market.
Five thousand rounds through a single gun might sound like a lot, but it goes by faster than one would expect when putting in the work with a gun. Zero failures after 5K is something to take note of.
Sometimes the difference between holding a pistol and dry firing it versus shooting it is night and day. In the case of the CZ Shadow 2, the difference was astronomical – it went from favorable to marvelous.
Slimline pistols are hot. They are light-weight, easy to conceal, comfortable to carry, and practical tools for self defense. The P365 XL falls into this category and some say it’s punching above its class. Let’s take a look at it.
The Shield Arms S15 magazines and accessories are incredible upgrades to the G43X and G48 that make them much more capable and attractive concealed carry options. They are worth looking into.
Take a 1911. Crossbreed it with a double stacked 9mm. Raise it and evolve it with a reliable defensive pistol pedigree. The end result is the Staccato P – a reliable 2011 for duty and defensive applications.
