EDC 2011’s with Glock mag compatibility

[chiroken007]

I haven’t given 2011’s any serious consideration until now because I didn’t see the need to get a “higher capacity” 1911 if we can’t actually utilize the higher capacity…

I was peaked by the potential to use Glock mags which means I can have multiple firearm platforms using the same magazines. My other consideration would be a Dan Wesson for CZ; but that’s out of my league RN.

Do the Staccato HD’s and Fusion XP pro have Glock like grip profile and grip angles though? One of the most beautiful aspects of my 1911 is the fact that sights are flat and on point after every single shot. It would be a shame to lose that piece of perfection.

Don't forget the Platypus.

You CAN use higher capacity magazines. Magazines obtained prior to 2000 or during Freedom Week in 2019 are perfectly legal to own and use.

The Staccato HD’s grip angle is 17.5 degrees, similar to other 2011s and most 1911s. Glocks typically have a 22.5 degree grip angle.

Both the HD and XP have grip angles similar to 1911s. I believe grip thickness is where they differ.

The Xp has a girthier? grip module to provide a 1911 grip angle by having more metal in front of the grip.

The HD grip module is pretty thin and tapers down towards the magwell. Overall dimensions of the 3.6 are similar to a G19 imo.

You can also check out the emp has a carry model. 2011 have a big prices tag and only you can decide if its worth the money, i really enjoy my hd p4 and do carry it on duty sometimes as a guard. But I aslo enjoy my g34 and dr920p and m&p 1.0. If you said hey we are going to a gun fight. Id take my glock or m&p. Not having to run a safety would always make things easier to draw and shoot.

I currently have an EMP but my faith in it is limited. First time on the range it had roughly 1 out of 10 FTF. It is a used firearm and first generation. I have since shipped it for repairs and my last range run was 1 out of 60 FTF. Still not a fan of that.

My current options for carry are shield plus, Canik mete mc9LS, or CZ P-01.

Wife has a tricked out p365 with radian comp and shadow MR920 elite.

XP Pro is the best bang for buck of a Glock mags 2011 in my opinion. The Platypus is amazing but just barely better than the XP Pro (for me at least). I saw Coastal Ordanance in San Diego also has SSE versions of XP Pro comp

Hard to beat a p365 thats my daily. Next time i might just move up to a g19 or m&p comp. Is my feelings over the years. 1911 style for ccw is life style for sure.

The 380 shield would be a slick addition. But the shield plus is solid too i just carried the og shield for years and when the p365 hit it have it in a maco xomp con fig

The XP pro really dropped the ball with the grip module. It straight up sucks and is proprietary so you can't use the 25 other 2011 grip modules that are available. Even if you can't change it, the platypus has a fantastic grip. You can get it stabby or soft.

I wouldnt buy the XP ever again. They are garbage
I own an HD3.6, love it
I would definitely buy a Platypus too

If money were no object, I would immediate buy more staccatos. I have a bunch of nice 1911s, and the staccatos just build on that collection. Don't worry about grip angles and all that internet keyboard warrior bull. Just shoot man. Get to the range and train.
