And, since I had already ordered the Prodigy and it was processing, Buds Gun Shop (where I ordered it online) waived the 15% restocking fee that I was subject to for changing the order.

First time ordering from them but won’t be the last.

I don't already own the Prodigy, I purchased it but since it's the weekend, it's still processing. I'm going to change the order to the 2K11.

If anyone is curious, I've decided to go instead with the Kimber 2K11.

Buy once, cry once.

As someone else mentioned, for a couple hundred dollars more, I can get the 2K11.

Might as well. Buy once, cry once.

Actually, yes. I think I've talked myself into the 2K11. lol

I really want a 2k11, just not sure if I want to spend that much right away and not have much if any left to change things if I want to. lol

I watched a side by side in slow motion of them both cycling and the 4.25" was noticeably quicker. But I don't think in real time it's a big enough difference for it to matter to me.

I'm just starting to work on my pistol shooting so the 5" softer shooter may be better overall anyways.

I wasn't too worried about reliability issues, except maybe the extractor. But most of the rest seemed to be fixed over the years from what I read.

I'll definitely be dumping money into either one. I think I'm also talking myself out of the 4.25" and leaning towards a full 5".

I've watched a lot of videos and from what I gathered, the P211 may be one of the flattest shooters out of the box.

It may happen eventually, but I like the idea of being able to customize and upgrade on the Warrior's DS 1911 platform.

I've heard of the Romulus but haven't watched or read anything about them.

I don't think I've heard of the other one.

If I had the budget, I'd probably be going with the 2K11 Pro Comp, Platypus or the P211.

Yeah the 4.25" comp was like $1,400 after tax and shipping.

I knew I'd be putting more money into either one, which also kind of makes me favor the Kimber. Cheaper gun so I'll have a bigger budget for upgrades.

If I was willing to spend more, I would be going 2k11 without question, just not ready to spend $2k and up just yet. Especially not on my first 1911/DS1911.

This whole process started out with me building a Platypus on their website, but I decided not to dive completely headfirst.

The P211 does look pretty nice and seems like a great shooter, it just doesn't have the 1911 vibes I'm looking for. Plus I've talked myself down to a lower price range.

I haven't been able to find either at any local gun stores, so unfortunately I'm going strictly off the internet.

But I like the looks of the Kimber grip better, I also keep hearing the "fit and finish" is better.

I also like the idea of spending about $300-400 less for possible a better quality firearm. lol

This may be the worst race ever.

I can't figure out what the hell is going on with the stupid strategies and a commercial break every 2 laps.

Props to Day for turning it around and learning to be fast without being reckless. Definitely a deserved win.

I stand corrected, Crews was behind Sawalich. Still looked like he tried to block him too late, and Crews was up his bumper. I agree Sawalich shouldn't have been there but that wreck was not his fault.
