1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

[RockAndSage]

I've tossed enough trigger parts in there that its pretty good now

Gun feels great in the hand but I just shoot a 1911 better.

Give the Dan Wesson DWX some consideration. I have the Compact, and the ergos, combined with a very crisp 3 pound trigger, are damn near magic. It almost feels like cheating.

The holsters I use now are made by someone that doesn’t sell commercially. However, there seems to be some close designs available- all appendix inside the waistband.

In kydex there are several, but this is pretty close-

For leather this is one of the top choices-

I can affirm that John ('Tony') Myer of JM Custom Kydex does good work. He and Tricia are a pleasure to deal with, very accommodating, and production/service is on-time.

I've used him before, but he's making two 1911 holsters for me as we speak ... it's all @Formidilosus's fault!

I was actually stunned by coming up with that, was perfect lol

Yall make me want to get a Tisas now to tune up.

What aftermarket sights with fiber optic front and blacked out rear are preferred? Lots of options out there. Current setup is tritium front with a huge dot, wanting something with a smaller fiber optic.

Dawson.
I've used two.
An option is the XS Big Dot front sight.
I've used it and you get the best of both worlds.

For a one and done carry/duty 2011- Staccato C/CS or HD.

Between a Prodigy and Tisas 2011…. Ehh. If you don’t mind doing a bit of work, the Tisas is probably what I would do. I probably wouldn’t do a P320 currently.

Well, looks like Sig is coming out with their own 2011 that uses P320 magazines.......Sig P211 Havent seen a cost on it yet.......rumor is 2300+......wow

If they took 365 mags and were reasonably priced I’d be interested. With the 320’s going off randomly why they do anything but kill that whole platform is beyond me.

The 320s firing completely on their own always seemed pretty suspect to me. Both the trigger and striker block safety have to "mysteriously" fail at the same time for that to happen. Doesn't seem anyone can replicate it, I don't think.

OTOH, a trigger being accidentally pulled or partially pulled goes a long way in providing a rational, repeatable explanation.

Does using the same mags somehow correlate to having the drop safety issues?

Now that looks pretty interesting...love the fact it's using 320 mags, too.

I like my guns to not go off in their holsters, hard pass

Didn't realize the P211 (released less than 24 hours ago) had already been confirmed to have drop safety issues. And somehow it's because it uses P320 mags.

Settle down Francis, lighten up

Won't trust a company that refuses to fix their product and denies having any issues

FWIW - According to the interwebs - The unintended discharge issue was able to be replicated by an independent researcher that found that in their experiments, it was a certain combination of faulty parts (wrong take down lever from a different caliber (40 cal or 45 i think?) and some of the MIM parts) they were able to get a 320 to fire without pulling the trigger consistently and repeatably.

I personally have tried my damndest to get mine to release the striker by dropping it and smacking the crap out of it with a rubber mallet at all angles... all to no avail. I guess I got a good one?? lol Mine was also sent in for the recall a few years back.

Nope, but the 320 has issues. Not so much with the 365. Thus I have a 365 and no 320.
