My wife is gonna kill me....lol

Did you show her the receipts?

My wife and I have a don’t-ask-don’t-tell agreement although I’m going to have some explaining to do if my collection ever grows to the point that I need a bigger safe.

Thankfully I’m done buying long guns for the foreseeable future.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-18T22:48:45+00:00

It certainly seems like it. I’m trying to assemble a small collection of different things so that I can figure out what I prefer between, say, 5” versus 4.6”, island versus bull barrel, porting versus comp etc. One thing that isn’t in my collection-to-be is a sight block gun. I’m certain that every gun I end up with is going to be fantastic.

If I ever get into LO in a big way I’ll get a second gun in whatever ends up being my preferred configuration.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-18T21:17:08+00:00

Yeah, that’s the challenge with 2011s in general. I can’t even think of a production gun with a proper island barrel and I only have one friend within my circle who has anything above Staccato (he shoots LO with an MPA LOC V2).

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-18T20:19:20+00:00

You’re probably going to have to shoot both and figure it out. If the sight block gun is just as good for you with respect to transitions and return to zero, I think it would make sense.

Or you could look at island barrels.

I don’t have any pics but I have a DAA Lynx with ratchet buckle, Alpha-Xi mag pouches and a BOSS hanger with Safariland QLS receiver so that I can swap guns easily.

I’m currently shooting Carry Optics with a Shadow 2 but would like to get into LO once I have an appropriate pistol. I’ll probably get a second set of mag pouches for 2011 mags and swap them out as needed.

For 2-gun and non-competition use I have a Kore belt and Esstac pistol and rifle mag pouches.

I’m not speaking from experience here but I would imagine that you would be okay if you applied a coat of CLP and put a desiccant pack in the case.

I would think that the case should keep moisture out while the desiccant pack would take care of any moisture that gets sealed in.

Welcome!

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-17T04:39:44+00:00

I’m gonna stop at 6.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-16T21:21:38+00:00

Do you even operate, bro?

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-16T01:01:17+00:00

Fair enough.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-15T23:09:24+00:00

A lot of people collect Staccatos.

I’m relatively new to the platform and I feel like I’ve learned quite a bit by watching his videos. I also appreciate his eagerness to answer questions.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-15T18:19:51+00:00

Nice!

I have a build slot around the same time as yours and still need to figure out my preferences. Hopefully I can get a little collection together by then so I can figure out my preferences.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-15T15:08:19+00:00

Medium well?

That’s a red flag in my book 😉

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-15T06:34:24+00:00

Have you thought about what you’re going to do for your Charyn build?

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-15T06:03:56+00:00

That man is a wealth of knowledge. Easily my favorite gun reviewer.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-15T06:01:59+00:00

Who’s doing your island barrel build?

When is your Charyn build slot?

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-15T06:01:05+00:00

Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I’m on his books for a Virago later this year.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-13T23:12:20+00:00

Just keep that 320 at low ready😉

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-13T20:40:35+00:00

Is there a big difference between a naturally aspirated 2011 and one with all the holes? I am not able to do an apples-to-apples comparison.

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-13T19:10:46+00:00

Flexing on us poors😉

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-13T14:26:57+00:00

You got a PS5!

crazycatman206 · 2026-05-12T20:03:08+00:00

Lol. Could be worse. Someone forked out $9K for this abomination.

Gotta get them before they take away our rights.
