Reliable 2011s - best value?

[RockAndSage]

Wondering what the inflection point is on 2011s, where they're just too cheap to be stone-cold reliable, for 1000s of rounds without a hiccup.

I'm hearing a lot of really good things from a couple of high-volume shooters on the Kimber 2K11s, and the better priced ones seem to be around $1650. Anything else in the sub-$2000 range out there that's worth taking a look at?

When I “needed” a 10mm (I was like 23 and had to have one) I got a rock island tac45 2011, it’s a cheap gun but I have a ton of rounds on it and it hasn’t had one hick up, the prodigy I had went down the road, but I my brothers has been great it is in that sub 2k range

The issue with any of the $1,000’ish pistols is that any issue you may need to work on, is the same you would need to on any other- a Tisas 2011 is just as likely to need an extractor tweaked as a Springfield Prodigy.


The Kimber is about the only one I might expect to work without issue that isn’t a Staccato.

Well mine finally got here. Sights need work as I can see they were NOT installed correctly. Luckily I live close enough to Dawson Precision so I called and asked what’s the best COA. He advised shoot it at 20 yards and bring them the target and slide. They will do the math to determine the correct sight height and complete the install for a small fee. I’ll shoot it this weekend and likely pick up new sights next week
