Not in my experience. I ordered mine setup for duty/carry so the tolerances are “slightly” looser but still extremely tight. So far I’ve got a little over 10k through it and I’ve had to replace the hammer spring and guide rod spring twice which is a fairly normal interval for a 1911/2011. Outside of that it’s flawless. Mags can be bitchy so gotta keep debris out of them.
I didn't realize they made a duty/carry version of the 2011. I may start looking into getting one now. But sadly now I'm stuck with the issue of too many hobbies and not enough money
. Guess I'll finish up the jeeps first.
Oh man don’t I know. To be fair, my 2011 was given to me for teaching a class and I had the choice to have whatever I wanted. But most 2011’s are geared toward completion. I just knew I’d be teaching and carrying mine so I wanted it to be setup for that. It has a heavier trigger and slightly loader tolerances than their standard product line up.I didn't realize they made a duty/carry version of the 2011. I may start looking into getting one now.

I'll do some research to find out if its possible to do a similar build in the future even if it means changing out parts over time.
It 100% is. Just order it the way you want it. Staccato and Triarc will build it exactly how you want it as they both offer a duty/carry option
Thanks, I'll look at their websites to price a few things out. Quick question for Jaela what would you recommend CCW wise for her?
Lila carry’s a Glock 43X. Great little gun cuz she isn’t supposed to carry at work but she’s able to tuck into an ankle holster or a belly band style.
Awesome! I started reloading about 2 years ago just for that reason. Lucked out and got set up right as the plandemic was starting. Not sure about prices now but breakeven is definitely quick if you're working with any of the magnums, and even 6.5CM.
I've totally left off everything else!
Very Cool! Yeah, I’m hooked. I’m gonna go with a .308 build next.. I just can’t get 6.5 where I am and I think the .308 will be cheaper to shoot, and create more of a learning experience with elevation & windage etc. I’m leaning towards a Bergara or possibly a chassis setup but not sure yet... I’d like to be able to swap barrels easy... get decent MOA and not break the bank. Finding what I want is half the fun, so I’m in no rush.

I was an "all around" gun guy for a long time but I have to admit... the long range thing has me totally geeked.
Thanks for the advice we’ll definitely let you know when we are in the market to buy her one. Plus send her out to one of your classes
My wife is on the small side and she is very happy shooting the G19...so she bought her own. I really want the 43 but it's a no go in Cali... but really the G19 is such a great option. Even for the ladies.... a gun too small just adds more recoil that they may find uncomfortable... or sacrifice accuracy. She didn't like shooting my G26 for that reason... Just my opinion though. Gun choice is very subjective... gotta hold it and shoot it.
Well said. The smaller guns are really snappy and can be just plain nasty to shoot. People think “oh small gun or small caliber (.380) it’s gotta be easier to shoot” and nothing can be further from the truth.
You’ll buy 6.5 shortly after. .308 is fun I’ve been out to 1000 with mine but 6.5 is more funner. But then you start buying spotting scopes and all that jazz.
For sure! I have a 2-12x for the AR... but will get a 4-24 or 5-25x for the new rifle... only problem right now is I generally can’t find 6.5 near me... and when it pops up it’s way too expensive... but yes, I’ll have a 6.5 eventually.
