Gt4 vs 2k11

[pancakes]

Had to opportunity to shoot them back to back and really surprised how much nicer the 2k11 felt. Recoil , build quality, and trigger just felt better to me.

2k11 pro or full size or?

Appreciate the feedback! I wonder how many folks are actually pondering between these two. For me, there's not a consideration for the Sig. Too many non-compatible parts with 2011's, including the mags. The 2k11 seems like it's going to be a strong performer for Kimber in CA from all the chatter I see all over.

I need to get my hands on and shoot one of the 2k11s but the P211 is a home run from my experience, the fact it uses reliable p320 mags is a huge plus too. 2011 mags are a crapshoot at best

I have to postpone getting my GT5 to help a family member with medical and legal fees.

Anyhow, I thought the 2K11 took Glock mags which is why I even considered buying one in addition to the P211.

I already have a Springfield Prodigy which has a pretty solid aftermarket. So I don’t see a compelling reason to get another mid-market 2011 (besides the Dan Wesson DWX if that hits the roster).

And you’re absolutely right about 2011 mags. I didn’t realize these things need tuning

Thinking the same thing

 

[Gawernator]

The fact you can use the same magazines in the 320, P211 and P385 is insane

Even atlas/mbx mags?

I’m still unsure what tuning even means? I clean the mag, spring and follower. What more does it need?

I believe it comes from the early days of 2011's that were all custom guns and needed to be tuned.
2011 mags were not designed for 9mm, so there is a gap between the round and the chamber that can have issues with improper spring tension.

I believe those are not issues in modern 2011's, but 2011's (and 1911's) are more sensitive to maintenance than other pistols.

I'm also torn between the GT5 and 2k11.
I already have a Staccato C2, so might go for the GT5 as it's different.
But the Kimber Pro comp speaks to me, the fit and finish and trigger seem to be better than the GT5.
