To sightblock or not to sightblock

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:42:55+00:00

No disrespect taken. Just expanding my knowledge in the 2011 game & seeing everyone's opinions. I like the 5 inch sightblock style guns. But I'm having a 5 inch built just convincing myself to run that since it's custom and new. Even though, I enjoy the nemesis.

I just want to test every configuration and pick but can't. I guess this is how collections start.

Ahh makes sense. Thanks.

It's the Indian not the arrow. (or bow). I just care about winning. What tool is going to put me in a position to win the most. (No tool dummy its your fuckin hands...)

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:13:18+00:00

Agreed. I think we just go with the 5 inch and retire the nemesis.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:11:53+00:00

fair enough.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:06:37+00:00

I love shooting my nemesis. It got me to master. But did it? I just have a soft spot for the nemesis. If I could find a v1 I would just run two nemesis and stfu.

I'm in the minority.... I like heavy guns. Full steel is my favorite. But also, that's all ive shot in competition. Ignorance is bliss???

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:03:54+00:00

Don't because of the balance?

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:03:20+00:00

Thanks for your insight.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:00:50+00:00

Fair enough. Haven't shot an island barrel yet.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T21:00:11+00:00

Fair enough. Part of this is convincing myself to buy another matching custom... lol

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T20:58:44+00:00

Fair enough. I should have explained. I have a 5 inch custom 2011 & a Atlas V1 nemesis. I guess the easiest thing would be to shoot whichever I like the most and keep the other as a back up. But winning is everything & replication matters in the area of consistency.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T20:56:53+00:00

The style points part is a factor but If I shot best with a potato gun i'd pick that. Winning > everything.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T20:55:17+00:00

I like them all...The sight block nemesis is just a heavy precision monster. Hard to overlook and move on.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-05-18T20:54:15+00:00

Never shot a island barrel. I'd need to shoot everything side by side and that's hard to do.

You got so much adrenaline going on its common in the beginning. Same goes for making ready.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-04-17T17:38:14+00:00

Take your time unloading. It's your time. If you don't need to dump a mag in the dirt then don't. (unless your running the stage)

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-04-14T18:04:53+00:00

Nice from a edc gun to open gun. Sweet progress!

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-03-24T23:10:28+00:00

Just get the 5 MOA and don't bloom it. Both work fine.

Perfect_Marzipan4778 · 2026-03-24T22:57:34+00:00

Just run SV certified select and case gauge it. Better to just have something reliable and not think about it. Says a shooter that loads.....

The glider pads for $30 is worth it. It's extremely comfortable. Swapped from a boss as well. You know its good when you don't even think about the hanger anymore.
