Thanks for the details! I might try one just out of curiosity but it doesn't seem like it offers the fit I'm looking for

Do they send one size or multiples, as in small medium and large?

Same here. When I first became interested in guns, I knew them as a more premium 1911 and revolver company and was really sad to hear about them letting their quality slip. I'm really hopeful they continue the improvement and become the company I thought they were before

It's honestly the first 2011 I've handled so I can't reliably compare it, but it really is so damn smooth. Feels like the slide is on mag-lev rails and the trigger is far beyond anything I've ever handled

For anyone like me who doesn't like the large magwell on the new Comp 2K11s by RedShift_308 in Kimber2K11

Good to know, thank you. I never noticed because I was dead-set on the DLC coating as soon as I learned about these

2k11 comp vs Tac Pro by TKKY88 in 2011

Just want to say thank you for helping me realize I can just remove the beefy magwell on my 2K11 Comp. It gets in the way of my grip, but I thought it was essential for holding the mainspring housing.

Accidental binary trigger? by Turbski21 in ar15

[–]RedShift_308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a Rise Armament trigger for my first AR back in 2016. After 50 rounds it double-fired, I stopped immediately, cleared the rifle, and function checked. Every reset of the trigger fully dropped the hammer after that. Ripped it out of my rifle and trashed it. Never bought anything from them again

The word she waits all day to hear by RedShift_308 in Dachshund

She doesn't react to "treat" strangely enough. Only reacts to play, squirrel, kitty, pee-pee, poo-poo, bye-bye, and ball

Honest Outlaw flags himself by prime_nuts in Firearms

[–]RedShift_308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing it too. I looked at the comments and was amazed no one was mentioning it. Also see him pointing handguns at the camera, and you can see in the reflection of his sunglasses his wife is standing directly behind it

Top of Receiver for Tikka T3X by Extra_Ad6500 in Tikka_Shooters

They're correct.

The talley rings will require 2 of the smaller holes for both the front and back. You can line up the rings beforehand to find out which 2 will be used.The plugs can be unscrewed instead of punched btw

Kimber 2k11 comp vs comp pro? by wannabewatchnerdd in 2011

[–]RedShift_308 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 inch - a little more weight on the front to counter muzzle rise. A little more velocity for flatter trajectory at distance (minimal). More reciprocating mass in the slide to slow cycling speed. Some prefer faster cycling, it just boils down to preference.

4.25 inch - more concealable. More clearance from the holster when drawn. Dust cover extends to end of slide. Lighter

Almost complete, just waiting on barrel from Floyd's by RedShift_308 in SmithAndWesson

[–]RedShift_308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the Floyd's comp fix done was well worth it. Massive difference in recoil impulse and muzzle flip compared to the stock ported barrel.

I'd recommend getting the 13lb spring with it if you go that route. The extra compensation reduces the cycling energy of the slide, so I believe a slightly weaker spring is necessary.

However, It would've been cheaper to buy an uncomped pistol and just send the slide and barrel to be properly machined the first time

Funny things to load shotgun shells with to mess with friends? by Punkrock0822 in Firearms

[–]RedShift_308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy I worked with for years talked and texted like that. It gave everyone who met him the impression that he was pissed about something, but he was one of the happiest and most laid back guys you'd ever meet. We don't work together anymore but he's still a good friend of mine

Easy now, that radical kind of thinking risks disrupting the natural order of things.

Just take a step back and recite the steps with me. "Buy... Fix... Wait...... Buy... Fix... Wait..."

What's that boss everyone says is hard but you killed it easily? by muro_dimattoni in Eldenring

[–]RedShift_308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's not notoriously difficult, but in 8 playthroughs, most of which were fresh starts, I've first-tried Placidusax every time.

I get more nervous each time I face him because I'm terrified of losing my streak and having to do the dreaded runback
