    I’m very happy with my Echelon, I think that Springfield has given us the most updated polymer frame striker fired pistol yet. Optics ready slide with all the cuts and ledges, great ergonomics, really nice out of the box trigger, tritium front sight and the list goes on. Been shooting polymer striker pistols for as long as they’ve existed and I truly believe that this is one of the best. I’m sure the haters will chime in but just sharing the thoughts of a long time handgunner.

Unusual for RIA, the AL3.1 and AL3.0 are manufactured in the Czech Republic and not the Philippines. I hope you will consider doing a review on these two handgun, e.g., the AL3.1 (Nickle Finish) & AL3.0. (Blued Finish).

    It's difficult to do this list with only ten, you've picked some good ones. Arguably there are a boatload of others that are worthy. It's interesting to note which manufacturers are not on the list, which by no means discounts their products, but might. Absent is Sig, understandably, I own some Sig stuff, always have served me well. Lately, their CS department makes them a nope. I love my Kimber 1911 and while there are the Kimber haters out there, I've run somewhere between 5,000 to 10,000 rounds through mine, no problems other than a grip panel screw failure sometime after the 5000 mark, rectified by Kimber at no charge. It will be interesting to see what 2024 brings.

      mixup98 just made a video on it a few days ago, maybe his take will help your endeavor. The two people I know have had success with cci mini mags. Not top tier, but not the cheapest ammo. As someone with many 22s, they like what they like. The only other issue was my buddies rear sight lost the white dot inserts at the range. Testers paint fixed that. Hope this reply helps. And yes, I've shot both and they are fun to shoot.

    I don’t mean to be negative, but I was all excited for the Kimber cause it looks awesome but when I went to look at it, its trigger is very crappy for a 1911. But it still looks cool.

    CAROLINA DON, another Great review and new firearms update!! Looks like that darn 1911 design will live on forever in the new 2011. I've either had or have 15 x 1911's I think its time to get my first 2011 & Thanks to YOU, I have a place to start. Keep up the GREAT 2nd Amendment support & GOD BLESS AMERICA Y'ALL :)
