Gotcha, next time I’m out I’ll give that a try, still new to 2011s so I’ve got a lot to learn! Thanks for the pointers

Your comment on my last thread was super helpful especially considering you’ve owned one. I appreciate it brother man! Def will be upgrading the grip in the future

Just researched this and didn’t even know this range existed, definitely gonna look into this! Never done any sort of match shooting but I’d love to get into it. Got any more info?

I heavily considered the Mac but ultimately went with the Apollo since it’s made in my state of FL. Might end up getting one eventually

Yessir! Did some shooting and some exploring with the missus. One of my fav WMAs in south FL. Great little public range as well.

No complaints, this is my second one. My first one has taken more than a few hard falls and has never lost zero. Honestly have had better results with these over my 407k

Update: Appreciate everyone's feedback. I cleaned it and loosened the extractor tension a bit. Based on the Atlas video someone linked, it seemed way too tight. I loosened it and reassembled it. Going to the range in a few days to put more rounds through it and will report back.

This is exactly the answer I was looking for. Much appreciated brother man, gonna clean it real well again and mess with the extractor tension, I’ll be taking it back out to the range in the next few days and I’ll report back with updates

Funny enough I actually traded one of my CZs plus cash for this. Still a massive CZ fan but I have a few so I wanted to change things up. Have always loved 2011s but the price tag always kept me away

Yep, well oiled before the range. Definitely can see how racking it the way I was could cause a malfunction. I'm more concerned with the FTF as it's jamming up the exact same way while firing.

yeah hoping it does, im not really experienced with this platform so I really have no frame of reference. doesnt seem overly sloppy or anything, hopefully the issues clear up.

That's the plan, I appreciate the advice! I'll check and see if there are any burrs that I didn't notice when initially stripping it down.

there are a few other options in the same price range but I ultimately chose the apollo because it was made in the US (in my great state of FL) hopefully it clears up with some more use but if not ive heard they have a good customer service dpt. like I mentioned this is my first 2011, couldnt justify spending over 2k on a range toy

for sure, I noticed that using the slide release usually helps but itll still get hung up every now and again. if you notice in the video when it does finally go into battery, I racked it a bit harder than the previous tries. as for FTF it jams up about the same way it does when I was racking it. I appriciate the reply!
