Pretty much narrowed down to Staccato. Looking at the new C model. 4 inch barrel and the smaller sized CS grip. Still 16rds. Optic ready. Pricey at 2600, and propriety mags.

 

I'll have to look-into that.... not all staccato mags are same?

 

You can get the CS now. Been out awhile. Same as the C but 3.5 barrel

 

Now I have to find 1 to put my hands on

 

Vudoo’s new Priest Commander

 

I have only looked at a couple of voodoo guns online.
Definitely worth a look though

 

You already have one of the best 2011s to carry; your Artemis. But, if you want a lighter weight 2011 which still shoots really well, look into the Staccato Limited Edition guns.

I chose the 2022 Limited Edition which offers additional options on top of a base C2. See copy/paste below for specifics (Google):

I am definitely looking into this. That looks great.
Thank you for posting all of the information

 

All the holsters are interchangeable; I generally prefer the metal clips to the plastic ones.

 

Thank you I like that ice comp edition

 

Id either wait for the c, or buy a 2011 and put a carry grip on it. There are a couple models either the cheely carry grip, 120mm vip grip or the Gen 2 ods grip.
I’m 5’11 200lbs and find carrying anything with a magwell to be a chore. Sure you can conceal it easily with a flannel during the summer or a jacket during the winter which I do. But during the summer I wear mostly t-shirts so a smaller grip with no magwell is the better option

 

Good callout here. I am 6’ and about 185lb. I carry AIWB and can conceal with a T-shirt.
@Buccaneer12 and @steelbahamut also carry fighting guns AIWB and have posted great videos of their concealment with T-shirt as well as presentation. @steelbahamut does it with his exceptional Infinity.

Note: No need to debate AIWB here. It’s just the context for concealing a full size fighting gun w/T-shirt.

 

The vudoo priest looks like a good value. Commander length rds with porting as an option all for less then 4k. Could ask them if they could switch out your grip for a carry cheely.

 

I have the standard C2 and its a solid gun, definitely worth looking into.

 

Also the Wilson SFT9 is sweet to carry. Less bulky than a C2 for example. Mine shoots pretty darn flat for a bushing barreled 29ish oz gun...

 

OK addicts I'm looking for recommendations on 2011 ccw/edc I'm currently using my atlas artemis even tho I have smaller striker pistols I just love the gun since making the switch to 2011 styles requirements as follows

2011style
Has moderate weight for flatter shooting
Rds ready
Nothing under 3.5 barrel length
Small hands grip

I've looked at nyx from atlas just don't know if it's snappy

Thanks for yalls time

The Ares is a fantastic carry pistol. With the ports it's not snappy at all.

I've had mine for a year and a half and it is head and shoulders above any other carry pistol that I've had.

Good luck with your search.

 

I just picked up an Ares 4.25 ported and it has almost no recoil or muzzle flip with the ports. Shot it with the RDS plate sight which was not ideal because I did not have my dot yet. But now I got an SRO and will try it out Friday. It is amazing how well it shoots with the ports For such a small gun.

 

I held the new C at SHOT - pretty nice. You have two grip options (didn't see if mentioned above), 16 or 18 rounds. Very thin.

 

What is the difference in the 2 grips? Just longer? So the 18rd would fit the 16rd grip?

 

one grip is larger and gfits teh 18. im sure the shorter grip can fit the 18, but it wont be "flush"

 

Y’all are convincing me I need to go check out a staccato sometime soon.

 

ACW Quantico Hi-Cap carry? A bit more than the Staccato, but can be built with RDO mount. Good luck with your search!

 

Bul Armory UL pro GP Arms Forza 3.1 or Patriot 4.1 compact OA defense 2311 compact pro Staccato C or CS

 

My CS is a great shooter and easy to edc.

Still have the C2, replaced it with the CS for the smaller grip.
