1911 Syndicate

Күн бұрын

The 2011 (aka double stack 1911) market is booming. While Staccato has owned that particular segment of the market, the Jacob Grey TWC9 does present an interesting value proposition for the money. Chime in with your thoughts in the comments.

I have over 12k rounds down range with my Staccato P with zero issues. None not even a light primer strike. I do shoot quality ammunition but that is still a huge comfort to me. I have only changed the spring one time… it just runs…

I really like the way you hold Jacob Grey. You look really good holding Jacob Grey in your hands. You look like you're having a great time behind Jacob Grey. That's pretty impressive how you've gotten 1000 rounds out of Jacob Grey with no lube or cleaning. What ammo do you mostly use? I'd like to know what kinda loads Jacob Grey prefers. Did I mention how impressed I am with how firmly you held on, despite Jacob Grey being so smooth and tight? And please be careful, you and Jacob Grey should pace yourselves. I hope you both shoot many more mixed loads with no issues.

@1911Syndicate Great review of a weapon I have been waiting to hear more about. Something to think about......This is the very first pistol to be mass produced by Jacob Grey Firearms. It may not be perfect, by your metrics, at least. But how many first-time makers have you experienced that introduce a weapon of this quality, reliability and performance on their very first effort? Especially in a 1911/2011 format! Imagine what the next models from Jacob Grey will be like. Also, I don't know too many people in the firearms world who would balk at using a firearm with a man's name. John Moses Browning comes to mind.........Samuel Colt.......Mikhail Kalashnikov (bet nobody ever oiled him up)......you get the idea. I personally like the idea of a 100% US made, all metal double stack that maintains the grip dimensions and overall weight of a GI 1911. Especially one that runs flawlessly.

Metal grip, street price sub 2500 all day, dont need a mortgage to buy extra mags, better trigger, comes with optic plates, and the warranty isnt void if you sneeze on it.

I had the chance to check one of these out last wek and was impressed. It is more comfortable in the hand then my Staccato to me. However I don't care for some of the design choices. Namely the big silver screw in the trigger guard. That said if you like it, it seems very solid to me.

@roguemodel 16 күн бұрын

I have known Jacob Grey for years. They make fantastic rifles. When I heard they were doing a 2011, I assumed it would be nosebleed-priced. I was shocked when I heard the price. Jeez, it is a nice pistol, and I love it. It's a real bargain! JG uses the best aerospace materials to build this; the design and synergy in the gun are perfect, and the build uses aerospace specs and tolerances. I thought I would have to change the grip, but it works just fine thank you very much. I always wanted a gun designed and built by rocket scientists-literally, rocket men.

@1911MikeinOregon 16 күн бұрын

I still haven't warmed up to 2011's. It's hard to jump ship after over 40 years of 1911's. That said, that's not a bad looking gun, but I'm not a fan of the choice of trigger. That would have to go but that's just personal preference and easy to change. You mentioned it has a pretty good trigger for the price point. For $2500 it better have a damn good trigger, not just a decent trigger... It doesn't cost much or take that much time to do a really good 1911 trigger.

I have a Bul Armory Tac 5" and a steel framed Staccato P, and names aside, if they made this gun with a steel frame, and a more aggressive grip texture I think, for me, it would be a super attractive option to get a aluminum gripped 2011 for sub $3k.

@4ws0m0 7 күн бұрын

@@dangelothompson3649 they're both great guns, but for me they serve two different roles. The bul is my range gun, the staccato is my edc. I was carrying the bul armory for several months, but the trigger on mine breaks at about 2.3ish lbs, which is awesome for a stock gun, but a little light for carrying imo. My staccato is a little more reasonable to carry at about 3.5 lbs, and the chopped beaver tail is more comfortable as well. Plus I wanted to put an Aimpoint Acro on it, which wasn't an option for my Bul Armory since it's RMR only. Overall I don't think you can go wrong with either pistol though.
