Military Armament Corp - MAC 9 DS 2011 Cost Less than a STACATTO and a Prodigy. IS IT JUST AS GOOD?

- The Military Armament Corp - MAC 9 DS 2011 comes in at a great value for a true 2011 firearm. All the bells and whistles, and most importantly, QUALITY.
The fact it's designed by an AMERICAN company is a huge PLUS.
You gotta do a head to head with the Prodigy!
That’s plan Fam.
Did my first range with the MAC DS9 and compared it to my Stacatto CS. Very similar in shooting but whats crazy is shooting with just my dominant hand (right), the DS9 was more stable and comes back to target than the CS. I was blown away by that. Granted, the build quality on the Stacatto is better and its not the same barrel length but i just thought i'd share that bit. If in 1 year i dont carry my CS, i will sell it and keep this DS9 for matches. My main carry is p365 x macro - didnt like it in the beginning but its very nice now after a couple of months of shooting it. Just dont focus too much on the "toy" trigger :)
Can’t wait for your 1000 rd review
So my issue is that this gun would end up getting stippled...that means 200+ dollars going into just the texture alone. The Prodigy texture is really solid out of the box, and if you have an issue with the internals, well 134 will solve that, and you can get an EGW guide rod to go with it, so you end up with a pretty solid setup for around 1300-1400. Now, this is of course assuming you stick with the optics footprint that Springfield provides, and you don't buy another plate. I'm personally leaving most of the internals (besides the disconnector), and swapping the safeties for Atlas IDPA high rides, and an EGW guide rod. I may swap the trigger at some point, but honestly I'm happy with my trigger as is, I tuned it and the reset is almost instant, with a pull weight of around 3lbs 8oz (might be able to go lighter, just don't really see the need).
Just purchased mine and I am thoroughly surprised. 500 rounds in and not a single malfunction.
Tisas makes the gun for MAC. There are only a few tweaks that MAC specified. Compare it to the LFA Apollo 11. Tisas is building a good gun. I say that despite my Tisas on recall for hammer follow and a non-functioning safety. Tisas was upfront and responded quickly. Great customer service. Tisas is building a plant in the US.
Great video as always bro 👊.... now i gotta come up with a story to tell my wife on why i need this gun aswell 😂😂😂
Nice gun. great delivery, & as always cool content. It seems like a regular average Joe or Jane can jump down on one too. Keep putting in that work Fat Guy Nation.
Great 2011 “budget” option
Good shit ZACH ATTACK…I seen this a couple weeks ago and Tisas is coming with it. The night stalker felt good and hand to. Cant wait to see you throw some lead down range with this. Let’s Go!!! 💪😎
Looks dope as hell still want to save up and get me a staccato only 2011 I really want.
I am going to start with the Prodigy, and after modding it will be cheaper than the Stacc. I may eventually decide to go with something more expensive.
First in full Support😂💯💪🏽
Nice looking 2011. Although I’m not a fan of the grip safety. I’m waiting for your range report
Hey thanks for this bro I've been wondering about this one for a minute
You my guy. That's what's up just got mine yesterday we in there what you plan on doing with it
Not sure yet.
Have both Tisas B9R doublestacks, duty and carry. Haven't shot either yet but if they're anything like my Stingray was they will be reliable and accurate. They compare favorably to my Prodigy and Platypus in build, and the triggers are nearly as good as my Platy. The Prodigy has the stuffest trigger of them all, and even it isn't that far off. The MAC looks great, I'll have to get one one day, but 4 doublestack 1911s is good for now I think...
I’m going to get a NightStalker DS. I like how it looks.
@@FatGuyWithGuns it is a good looking firearm!!
Nice video! Is the grip made of metal?
Thanks Bro. It’s polymer.
Oh heck yeah! Just ordered my first Staccato last week, this right here will be it's cousin by the end of summer long as the reviews are good on it
First shots video dropping Monday.
@@FatGuyWithGuns word Imma gohead and sub bruh. Preciate you
@@superf8433 Thanks
That's nice bro looking forward to the range video for it 👍🏽 💯🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Can't wait to see what the light looks and also what holster you're going to use
Check the first shots video. I dropped it this morning
@@FatGuyWithGuns I seen a short I'll look for the video just shot mine 20 minutes ago all good
Also got a 20 round sticada and a 26 round prodigy magazines
I was interested, but ended up going with the Prodigy after shooting a few. The launch of the Prodigy really served as a reminder for other companies...
So, here's my thing about the MAC offering. You start at around 1000, you pay maybe 200 or so for a stipple job, maybe you invest another 130-200 for some internal parts, maybe you drop 50-70 on a trigger that you like. Heck, the grip texture alone brings up in line with the prodigy. Now, then there's the subject of the optics mounting system. RMR cut is nice, but the AOS cut is also a nice solution in my opinion, and it allowed me to go with a plate that moves the rear irons in front of the optic.
The last point is kinda a personal thing. I don't want to buy a gun from Turkey...I just don't like the idea of giving them money. I understand that Springfield has their own fuckups, but they supposedly spent a lot of time trying to rectify them.
Issue with the prodigy is you have to spend a few more hundred to make it relaible. I think thr apollo 11 is the best bag for the buck with no mim parts at 1000. You can spend the difference you save of a few hundred and make it even better.
The Tisas DS can be had for $630 to $700 right now. That is the best value in my opinion. Some people won't like the rmsc cut or the bushing barrel, but I prefer the classic 1911 look and don't mind the takedown procedure. Everyone who shoots one or takes it apart marvels at what an amazing job they did at that price point. Forged slide, barrel, frame and internal parts, no mim. I will probably pick up a Bul or Prodigy at some point. Maybe when I see a good online sale. Also, I heard the Apollo 11 chokes on hollow point quite often. I don't think the issues are worked out with it yet.@@Rhamlin7
Well once the FR is polished that HP issue goes away. Also the spring could stand to be changed from 7lbs to 9 or 10 then it's flawless. Easy and cheap fix. I'll say that it should come from the factory running properly, but thus far their customer service is impeccable.
Can you do an in depth comparison with the prodigy?
Looks as if the same size of the STACCATO P. Takes STACCATO magazines. Price is good and excellent quality. Wonder if the interior parts are upgradeable to Ed Brown and Wilson Combat, etc..? Peace
Tisas/MAC has standard mil spec 1911 internals. Any 1911 parts will work, but as with all 1911s they may need fitting. I don't see why you'd want to change internals since they're not mim.
I'm curious how it does. I have a couple staccatos but want to see other manufacturers succeed
Dope looking 2011 I just put a Witness 2311 on layaway didn’t see this one
You should check out the Tisas DS Duty model or Carry model. Everyone who has handled both says the Tisas is much better that the Girsan. Dahlonega Armory has the 5" duty model for $630 right now.
Zack nice table top review
Glad you liked it
What a work of art
It’s built really well.
Great review Fam! I may have to look into one
Thanks Bro
@@FatGuyWithGunsCurious do you know if it takes Prodigy magazines?
@@shawnj8051 It runs Prodigy mags, flawlessly
@@FatGuyWithGuns Thanks so much, I appreciate it.
What are you doing for a holster for the MAC9ds?
I’m not sure. Any suggestions?
Big Zach!!! Love the content...
Thanks Bro
When is range day? I'm pulling up 😂😂😂
In your opinion which one (MAC or Prodigy) feels better in terms of tolerances, trigger break, racking, etc?
Honestly it’s pretty similar. The Prodigy is anywhere from $300 to $500 more and I don’t see why. The slide on the Prodigy seems smoother but I have a 9lb spring and tool less guide rod in it. The spring in the MAC is at least 14lbs. I’ll change it out and see if it makes a huge difference.
You find a better guide rod?
Not yet @@juanrojas6805
Compare the new release of the lfa apollo 11
Looks nice fam!
Great Video Thanks!!!
Thank you
That’s the one Zach where did you find it at
Buds Gun Shop
Reviews should go like this
Demo range footage showcasing reliability and accuracy. If it passes THAT aspect then we look at the bells and whistles because now we can count on it. Otherwise, its a waste of time to watch.
Nice side arm
Mann that’s nice!!
What up stranger! 😊🔥🔥🔥
Nice pick up fam.
Sure is a nice one
DOPE PICK UP CUZZO
Why are people caling this the tisas because they have the same distributor?
Yes. They build it for MAC.
💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡. Awesome.
🔥🤔🤔
I dig it
Atlas, cheaper than a corvette.
One day I’ll have an Atlas. The Artemis is my favorite.
Can you do an in depth comparison with the prodigy?
Coming soon
@@FatGuyWithGuns do you think you can touch on trigger pull, smoothness of the slides, weight comparison, ability to return to target after each shot? Would greatly appreciate it man!
@@g35zkyline sure
