Nice Vanta! Would love to shoot and compare one of these to an Atlas! I’ve heard nothing but great things about them! They get a +1 in style alone

I was lucky enough to call John Jardine my friend. I got to help R/D the vanta within Logan and John. Those are sweet for sure.

Nice! How do you like it so far? I’m liking the looks of the Kovert collab with ports. I honestly held one after holding an Atlas over at Kovert, and I couldn’t find a reason to get one.. but for the price, I think they’re a bargain! Please update after you get it out!

I like the feel of the grip of the Platypus better, but I'll see how it runs after I go to the range next week. Only reason I got it was b/c I was able to PPT it for below MSRP. If I had to pay the tax and sin tax on top of retail, forget it. The guy I got it from changed the safeties and the ignition kit, so hopefully it runs better than stock.

This thread is making me jealous, both for the sick 2011's and the law enforcement that are making $$$ importing them

 

[The Gleam]

Very early variant of a 2011, something a bit rare you don't see too often, and certainly not in CA - the BUL-M5 / Double Stack 1911.

Other than that chunky trigger guard which was typical of early Polymer frame experimentation and overbuilding, due to doubts of polymer durability and integrity in general (since proven the anxiety was unnecessary) - it's a really nice, accurate, and excellent firearm.

Felt compelled to complete the trifecta...

One day I’ll be able to get a 2011. What are good 2011’s these days? I saw Stoeger said the Staccato has an extractor issue around 25k

Other than that I liked the Atlas Erebus. Anything else yall would recommend to try?

Hayes Cobra Island Barrel
Venom Customs
Rafferty Lucky Charm

Legion Precision Weapons Systems Chiraq 5”
My first 2011 which I got back in May

Waiting on a Hayes Cobra which should arrive by the end of November. Also been tempted to get a plain in stock Platypus from 2azone and send it off to Monsoon Tactical for their Grand Master Genghis Komp and cerakote work.

Atlas, Bul, Staccato and Platypus

 

[tedster]

Kimber Pro Carry II, old school

 

[2azone]

Have a few Staccatos on consignment,


P in 9mm, 4.4" barrel


C2, 3.9" barrel


P with custom porting by Vulcan, slide is buuuuttery smooth.

Shameless fanboy proudly displaying the Jacob Grey used in Reno May's video


Jacob Grey black, this one has a fully textured grip, and captured guide rod


Jacob Grey TWC 9 with a 507c in FDE.

 

[2azone]

Apache by Watchtower, this is the standard version, we had a small batch of the Pew Views come in earlier this year


Custom Platypus from a stocking order, in addition to the black commander and govt models we're getting, we have a few customs coming in as well.


Akai Customs Ripsaw, has a ported island barrel.

 

[2azone]

Stealth Arms Platypus, commander length, still takes G17 magazines


Phoenix Trinity H-Duty with Trijicon SRO, island barrel with fiber optic front sight



Akai Customs Stryker, this thing is a beast, the grip texture is amazing and the magwell keeps it super balanced when firing.

 

[2azone]

Phoenix Trinity H-Pro, like the H-Duty it has an island barrel, but this one is ported, the front hexagonal serrations have a windowed cut on both sides of the slide for the barrel, if you're fancy


Atlas Nemesis in Gunmetal, this is 1st gen, the color, grip and magwell give it a unique look, and it sticks out even in a collection of Atlas 2011's.
