    Sounds like you need to invest some more time and design/produce a functional mag release, or you'll be headed down the same slope as Hi-point.

    I love my Wilson Combat mags. Always seat, always feed, and always drop.

    So STI is offering “free samples” at the range today - they let you run a mag through on them. Gotta day, they shoot really sweet.

    I have to say I like test drives. I’m on their mailing list, so I might go back the next time they have vendor demos.

    Second from the left. They shoot flat and evenly, and the 9mm double-stack I fired has about as much recoil as a Ruger .22 target. Extremely accurate and easy to handle. Expensive, though. I’m a firm believer in “you get what you pay for” but I don’t know if it’s worth 3x the price of a regular 9mm 1911.

    Whats the big difference between the 2011 & 1911 that you thought were improvements?

    Recoil and rebound. The front sight stayed on the target all the way through the slide action. Balance was nice. It was lighter than my Remington 1911. Being a double-stack 9mm, it holds a lot more rounds.

    They were being touted at the “John Wick 3” guns, so I’m guessing they’re about to get a fame boost.

    I bet they wouldn't lock in to that particular pistol, though.

    Thanks for the info. I've been on the fence about my next purchase being a 1911 or a 2011. :thumbsup:

    If you get a chance to shoot one, it’s worth paying range rental for.
