@@bigeasy303 thanks brother. I was close to giving it to the XL but the slide to frame fit and trigger pull dropped it to second for me. You’re right though, the XL is a tack driver. Definitely the best as far as cost and performance. Thanks for watching. Have a blessed day bro.
Ronald!! Good morning brother!! Appreciate your continued support. I have to agree, the Infinity just hits different aesthetically. Thanks for watching. Have a great day 🙏🏽✊🏽
Form going through all the guns as well all I have to say is that the Watchtower Demolitia and the TTI Sand Viper is my highly rated best gun to own. I’m not a gunsmith and don’t like to add all different parts to it and etc. They just shoot like a rail and smooth like a butter and you can air rack it as well. Price yea, it’s up there but as long as you can afford it by all means get it. Just like buying cars, there will be Honda’s and Toyota’s and there will be Ferrari and Lamborghini. If you can afford then get it and every other person that talk junk because they can’t afford it! It’s just plain and simple.
@@jjrrhh1199 so on point with your feedback and I must say the Watchtower Demolitia has me interested. The TTI Sand Viper is a great 2011 and love it in my collection but on a comparison of the combat master It just falls short. I agree with get what you want. Affordable comes down to the individual and what they believe is a great price. Great feedback. Thank you 💯💯💯💯
If you haven't actually shot one, you really don't know what you're missing. I thought STI was overhyped until I bought one. It was a pretty big upgrade from my CZ Shadow 2. I heard good things about SVI Infinity, I ended up buying on and it is amazing. I have not shot the Combat Master, but I may try it out as a local range has one for rent. Same with the two Viper pistols. I know most ranges can't afford to have multiple high end 2011s for rent, but I know one near me that rents out a lot of them. It's tough because i can rent them out and I know I'll never get to own one.
@@jimbobborg22 you’re absolutely right about not having shot one. The reviews on all of them sound great including mine but until you shoot it then you will know. In my experience, shooting my STI / Staccato, they have always maintained a solid track record in overall performance and reliability. As far as Infinity concerned and other high end custom 2011s. The meticulous work that goes behind them is just a work of art. The consistency for a custom handgun is something to admire and respect. There are no ranges in my area that had these high end 2011s to rent. I will rent mine out from time to time for people I know who are interested though. Sometimes the shooting experience is just as good as owning one. I appreciate your input. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏽✊🏽
Johnny!! Good morning brother!! Good to hear from you my man!! I pray all is well. Yes sir. I plan on heading out there in the summer. I’m hoping Infinity has another event. Looking forward to it. Thanks for watching.
Another great review! Did you say you may Port your XL Limited? Man, I have been resisting the urge to port mine... and you know ,I really like ports!! The XL Limited, would definitely behave better with good porting.. such a hard decision!!! Keep up the good work! I just figured out splits screen range footage.. lol .. old but still learning...
Good morning Major!! Thank you sir. Yeah the ports have been on my mind lately. Considering Vulcan or DSC at the moment. Very touch decision. The split screens took me a while too. I’m going to get more creative with my videos next year. Thanks again. Have a great day.
@teamblacksmithllc I respect you too much to agree with DSC, Vulcan or monsoon is the only move for pieces nicer than a prodigy. I'm not gonna dog DSC to much but I have seen absolute nightmare work done.
@jacrispy9603 I appreciate your recommendation. I never had work done Vulcan or Moonson so I will definitely check them out first. Thanks again brother. ✊🏽✊🏽
Those are some very fine pistols, and I am happy for you that you own them. But I would not buy any of them no matter how much money I had available for guns. They just don't fit into my shooting style. I did enjoy watching the video and appreciate the masterful workmanship that went into making them. But my Stealth Arms Platypus and Bul Armory EDC are as close to that level of performance range gun as I want to get. Any future acquisitions for my collection will be .45ACP, .40S&W or revolvers. I've got all the 9MMs I could possibly want and several more than I actually need 😎 But then, it's never about need, is it? Congrats on your fine collection!
@@MarvinTurner-oc4ml hey brother!! Thank you sir. I appreciate it. I never thought I would spend what I’ve spent on these guns but as you know once you get bit by the bug. It’s a wrap.😂. The Platypus is really nice. I never shot one but was able to rack it, pull the trigger and see it in action. Now that they have bull barrels, I will look to get one. The BUL EDC Pro is my second favorite gun in my collection. Both high performance guns. I’m looking to get two more 9mm for next year including the Platypus and that will be it. You’re right. Needs have nothing to do with it. Wants and more wants. It’s all about the chase and acquisition for me. Thanks again brother. Appreciate your feedback 🙏🏽✊🏽✊🏽
@@teamblacksmithllc I have two Platypus ( or is that Platypii? ) one bull barrel and one bushing barrel, both 5". As nice as the EDC is, it jut doesn't equal either Platypus. I tend to lust after other Double Stack 9MM pistols but I already have everything I really want. Fair warning, if you shoot a Platypus you will want a Platypus, even with all the fine pistols you already have.
Blacksmith great video agian man. I'm wondering if the Infinity had a red dot if your decision would be even more decisive. Brother I took my Infinity,Atlas Artemis,and Phoenix Trinity Tee Gun Vault Desert Pro collaboration out the other day and the Infinity is just a bit above all the rest brother how they get those guns to shoot the way they do is amazing. Thanks again for another great video brother appreciate you.
Hey John!! Thanks brother!!🙏🏽. Yes, my decision would have been overwhelmingly Infinity. For me, the dot makes the difference for my accuracy. That is one line up bro🔥🔥🔥. Now that is a RANGE DAY💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽. The Infinity is still tops but I still give props to the other builds and brands. Thanks again brother. Appreciate you ✊🏽🙏🏽
Out of curiosity, what are your favorite 2011s in your collection. I'm having trouble picking out what to pick up. Right now, I'm leaning towards the staccato xc or maybe spending some more and getting a nighthawk trs comp
Good afternoon brother. Right now, my favorite is my Atlas Erebus. Between the XC and Nighthawk, the XC is my favorite of the two. Half the cost and all of the performance and quality. Thanks for watching brother.
Do you believe that you group the others as good as the Staccato XL Limited Edition with an optic? I heard the Staccato’s loosen up over time, where the Infinity does not. I will be picking up a few things soon. The Atlas Artemis seems to be a possibility in California.
Hey Brent!! For me, the optic does give the XL an advantage as far as consistent accuracy and groupings. Just pure build quality and performance, the Infinity is by far the best. I haven’t experienced that issue with my Staccato but as you can see the slide to frame fit is not as good as Infinity. The Atlas Artemis is a solid pick up. Let me know when you get it. Thanks for your feedback brother. Have a great day.
Thanks so much for answering all my questions....and nice video again...keep posting them please...Im starting to get into competition shooting with my Staccato XC....would it be worth me upgrading to the MPA DS9 DL steel challenge pistol or is my Staccato XC just about as good for competition shooting??....any thoughts.....also, i heard shooting the MPA DS9 Comp Open gun with 9mm Major ammo u get alot of blow back concession to the face and its so so loud too....Ive had 3 concussion so the 9mm major ammo worries me shooting it and getting headaches.....is there a big difference between 9mm Major ammo compared to 9mm minor ammo...ive never heard of 9mm minor. either..Thanks so much....
Good morning David!! You are welcome sir. In my experience shooting both, the XC is just as good as the MPA DS9 DL for competition. I competed with my XC a few times and it ran great. For the MPA DS9 Open or any open race gun, I would use only Federal ammo 9mm 115gr or 9mm Major. The open gun is loud but funny thing you won’t hear it like other people around you. Don’t worry about how loud it will sound. It won’t mess with your hearing or give you headaches. 9mm minor is standard ammo like 115gr, 124gr and 147gr. 9mm Major is 124gr but a much hotter round. It moves much faster FPS (feet per second). It makes open guns run faster and flatter. The down side with 9mm Major it wears down the barrel faster over time. Just something to think about. I ran 9mm minor in my open guns and it worked well. I hope this helps. I hope to see you out there soon. Have a great weekend.
@@teamblacksmithllc thank u so much for the good info...i differently wont buy the MPA DS9 DL since i have a staccato XC and i absolutely love it....Ill definitely look into buying the MPA DS9 comp open gun... Is the 9mm major ammo real expensive and is it easy to find....and do they sell it in new ammo not reload ammo....i know alot of open race guns they reload their own ammo....Are these race guns hard to clean...im not very mechanical...lol...just a retired Houston, TX cop....thanks again for ur help..
@davidsvahn5069 anytime. There are a few shops that sell new 9mm Major ammo. I buy mine from Everglades evergladesammo.com. They cost a little more than off the self ammo but are super reliable. I don’t reload yet but this is the best one I’ve found. Race guns are easy to clean and easy to dissemble. Just like your XC. I love my DS9 Open race gun. It’s a very well built gun, amazing slide to frame fit and sub 2lbs trigger.
@@teamblacksmithllc thank u so much....i really appreciate ur good information....im thinking about buying the MPA DS race gun but its available in either 9mm major or 38 super ammo....which one should i buy....and it seems like 38 super ammo is more available...do u know which ammo cost more too...any thoughts on the 2 ammo too...thanks for all ur help too...
Myyyyy man!!! What's up bruh... According to the range footage the Staccato XL showed its stuff bruh the clear winner to me bruh. No surprise Staccato is like James Brown of 2011's bruh stop playing..! I will give second to Infinity as far as I'm concern you wasted your time bringing out that TTI crap, yeah I said it, riding other manufactures like Venom Customs riding Atlas don't be mad at me it's just my opinion my man... Please stop mentioning John Wick! Keanu Reeves ruined the whole series he can not act in action movies should have been Jason Statham or Wesley Snipes!!! In fact on a couple of your videos you placed TTI next to last out of multiple pistols, just proves my point... One thing I can say about you bruh you keep it real without selling your soul FACTS!!! Love you man on the real!!! Very nicely done bruh!!! 😎
@@Thomas-vt7cz good morning brother. Yeah the Staccato XL did its thing. I was actually surprised how well it performed against the Infinity. The combat master is great but not that great but I do believe it’s better than the Pit and Sand Viper as far as quality and materials. It’s no way I can’t mention John Wick 🤣🤣🤣. That’s how bad it is 🤣🤣. You’re right, the TTI models always ranks the lowest. It’s a great investment piece and runs well but the hype value makes it more than what it is. I will keep doing my best to stay 💯 with my reviews. Always appreciate your straightforward feedback bro ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽. Thanks for taking the time to watch and respond. You are the man!!💯💯💯
@@teamblacksmithllcone thing you didn’t mention is that all the staccato models all have some sort of problem and craftsmanship as well. Ever since they came out on the newest factory, problem exist just like the Kimbers have. I can go on and on but being said the TTI still stands out and flawless after flawless and that why the price is at that point still and hard to get.
@jjrrhh1199 good information. I appreciate it. Fortunately, I never have experienced any issues with my Staccato I purchased years ago. I haven’t done any additional research on the newer models coming out the new factory. I will keep a close eye on my XL now. Yeah, the STI/TTI combat master is the best build and design out of all the newer TTI 2011s. Thanks again for the information.

You don't how fast I clicked this vid! In addition to being a firearm, the Infinity belongs in an art museum.
