I just got it back today...I'm fan girling BIG TIME!!!

Absolutely! This thing is by no means a Staccato…but it is sweet. Especially for the money.

Man, I can’t speak to what everyone else’s experience has been, but I think this thing is SWEET! I’ve handled a dozen or so, and they all feel pretty damn good for the price…and they shoot great!

Dude it’s absolutely nuts , it’s way better than they’re saying ; it’s no nighthawk but damn is it a good shooter , it takes all staccato and most 2011 parts , I put atlas stuff and springs in mine , run it in competition , got it end of April about 3k rounds not a hiccup that I haven’t caused

Big, big fan!

Hey man! The support is greatly appreciated! Keep an eye on the sights though. The front fiber rod is nothing too crazy (had a Shadow 2 so the same thing years ago), but our rear optic plate and sight had 0 lock tight. It got blazing hot and the screws all started backing out. A couple drops and we were back up and running flawlessly.

@@BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER Thanks for the solid information.

We did some subtle things after shooting our content too. Overall though, sweet gun!

Right on!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you! Hope you enjoy!

Maybe that’ll be in the docket soon 🤔

Yep! It’s crazy how you can upgrade this thing…unlike other 2011 platforms!

@@BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER I put over 2k closer to 3 on it in just over a month lol

Thank you! Hope you’re enjoying the content.

Save your money! Wait for part II when we have Zach and Vinny from Monsoon on to discuss this thing in detail...especially after the Monsoon secret sauce!

Thanks!

How do you like that 11lb spring? I didn’t touch on it much, but it does feel a tad over sprung. Not nearly as bad as the Prodigy, but a hair.

It’s definitely a contender. It’s not a Staccato, but boy it’s not far off.

Stay tuned for Part II. There’s some options to thin out the grip. Check out the pinned community post with pics of the Monsoon-ized MAC.

They're sweet! Thanks for watching!

Just got mine back from Monsoon today... it's even better now! We slapped a 10lb spring in it too, and slightly adjusted the factory trigger. It's amazing!

@@BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER so that video is coming out when?

I’m starting to fan girl over it big time!

We have not, but maybe soon.

We don't shoot too many 1911 frames these days.

They definitely feel a little more plastic’y’ than the Staccato, but not bad. Mine is getting stippled by Monsoon Tactical right now, and I much prefer that to a replacement module. I’m not sure if there’s an aftermarket or not for that, but I’ll find out for you.

Thank you sir.

🙌

You leave with a smile!

We’re poor! 😂 We actually just got 2 new cameras this week to assist in show hits more. We’ve been filming most of this on an old Sony Camera and 2 cell phones! Supporting the channel with viewership helps drive the need for higher quality productions. So, we appreciate EVERYONE taking the time to watch out dumb asses!

RIA are great. I do prefer this more, but I’ll take both over the Prodigy.

@@BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER THE MATCH PRO WITH THE BULL BARREL THE ONE I HAVE SEEM FITTED TIGHT NO SLIDE PLAY AT ALL

MAC claims no MIM parts.

😂 Yes! We were shooting around 20' on standard IPSC targets. Not too difficult.

Thanks for the support!

That’s interesting! I’ve handled 20ish of these and they all feel pretty good, and this one shot so good I’m keeping it. These are easily better made and higher quality than the Prodigy. Stay tuned for Part II soon 😊

"NO" MIM parts in the Mac 9

The Staccato will, yes! As we said in the video, the jury is out on how long the MAC will last, but based on the internals it looks promising.

No mim parts in the mac9

Cheap 2011’s have poor frame and slide quality. Pin holes for example.. hammer and sear pin holes are hard to get perfectly aligned. The higher the cost the better the tolerances are here. Same goes for frame rails and slide dimensions. Staccato is able to get these dimensions super tight and do so in mass. No other company can do that currently. The DLC coating on the staccato is far superior to any black oxide or cerakote. All of this adds up to reliability. I’m sorry but I had to mute your video to type this. Seems like typical range employee nonsense.

The Prodigy (for the money) is a piece of shit. I can't begin to tell you how many we've facilitate warranty work on. I've had half a dozen fail to shoot standard brass 115gr that everything else eats without issue. Recoil springs have broken. The Springfield mags are junk (small gripe, but still). They're a sub-standard built gun, with a premium on the name. For the record, we did take these guns apart to compare and contrast. However, the content was really dry and didn't make the cut for the video. The MAC is a much better built gun than people realize...especially if they haven't handled, shot, or worked on one. The MAC chucked the Fiberoptic rod, not the actual sight. I had the same thing happen on my Cajun Shadow 2 years ago. Those rods breaking don't discriminate based on what gun they're on. To be clear, our claim was not that the MAC is better than a Staccato! Right now, it is the king of the budget 2011 Staccato knock-offs though. Lastly, everything has a purpose. The MAC will scratch that 2011 itch without breaking the bank for your average shooter. As an avid shooter (5k-10k a year), you'll want to consider the Staccato.

@@BUCKEYESHOOTINGCENTER when was the last time you actually warranted a prodigy? How easy were they to work with and how quickly did they turn the guns around? Did they actually fix the issues? Seriously…. Both the 4.25 and 5 inch have had multiple changes from Springfield in more recent serial numbers. The 5 inch having the most work with a great deal of mass removed from the slide. The chambers are now reemed (not finished/polished) and the barrel linkage has had improvements to help with lockup and timing. They still haven’t addressed safeties falling out.. I still think the prodigy is a better buy. Specially with the prices being closer to 1200-1300.. Few small changes and the Prodigy turns into a really nice pistol. It’s wild to me to see so many opinions from people who have no basic armors skills or even a basic mechanical understanding yet those of us who actually work on these guns are “wrong” for having an opposing opinion? I can agree to disagree…

Yep! lol
