C2.



Because I've run it hard and it does very well. It conceals much easier than my other 2011s.

Ares. I have a C2 and I’d like to get an Ares at some point. Id like to move up to the 4.25” length and how can you not like an Atlas. That said my C2 has been great.
None of the above for me............. because I don't do units next to my unit.

Chambers. Because my single stack just runs. I’m Joe’s most vocal critic that actually owns one of his guns. I’d buy his double stack if I could.

Edit to add: that I’m with Buster. I’m an IWB guy at about 3:30-4:00. I don’t point guns at the money maker.

Nighthawk, they deliver performance and style, as much as I like Staccato's there's no style

Ares ported hands down. I don’t carry mine but I can’t believe how easy it is to shoot. For reference I have no money but have the Ares 4.25 ported, P, C2, EDC X9 3.25,” CS and TRS. TRS is definitely the sexiest and the CS and EDC X9 are the easiest to conceal. The recoil management on the Ares is so easily managed it’s almost boring to shoot papers targets with. Never have run drills before but look forward to getting into that with the Ares.

If I was buying one with intentions of putting 20k thru it that would exclude any aluminum frame variant. As of the rest of your list I can only recommend one on personal usage. I've owned 4 P's and there a solid offering in my experience. I also have a 19P and think of it HIGHLY. You can spend double the money on others but just not sure you'll get double the performance. I will be picking up a PT in the future since there local to me and I like what there turning out.

For a carry gun and what’s listed I’d do the 1776 Morph with a comp.

Outside the list I’d to an Akai tactical. Tactical / Carry

I'm gonna throw in my Combat Precision M5. Beautiful pistol, weighs around the same as an Ares. Excellent trigger and the newer designs ahve a grip safety and flush fitting mags. Its also like $2K less than an Ares and shoots wonderfully
NH CO because I like fat sexy well built girls
To clarify, etc etc means pick any non 5” 2011, whether it’s on the list or not. And if ya carry not aiwb, cool.
C2

Why? I actually did it, and it was great. Yes, it started to shoot itself loose at about the 6k-7k round mark, but still ran and grouped great. Trigger got better and smoother with use.

I was tempted to suggest the Ares, but lack of a grip safety (like the X9) holds me back.

I have not tried the CS grip, but I'm intrigued as to what it would feel like on a C2.

Well, I'd have to say the C2, only because I just ordered one. And no appendix for me either. 3 o'clock, OWB.

MY current, the BUL SAS II FS. It's all about weight and concealability to me. Whose logo it has on it doesn't matter much at all.
