I have the hybrid in standard version and it’s awesome…. Every day I go to the range I am happier with this gun.

 

I had several Staccato XL's and they were great - but when I picked up a used DS9 Hybrid I was shocked at how much different it ran. I do not have the TC, mine is exactly like the one that @Tato posted above - but it is wicked fast and the first time I was impressed. I can only imagine that the TC would shoot even flatter - hard to imagine though, the Hybrid is pretty flat as is.


Good Luck @BigBC24

I think they are great guns and recommend them to anyone considering the Stacatto -MPA -Vudoo world of 2011's. I have several friends that run them and they are thrilled. Great value IMHO.

Thanks, those are all the ones I am considering and really appreciate your comment and experience.

 

I have a ported ds9 which is amazing. Have the full dust cover commander, which I’m thinking about getting ported. Ordered the comp model in Dec and trying to patiently wait. Great products!

 

I have shot both, the LOC is a flatter shooting gun but it's not dramatic to me. But the price is not like going from a Titan to Artemis either. So it might be worth it to more people.

Thanks! I'm looking at those or an Atlas Apollo next. I can get a really good discount on the MPA though as a PRS member.

 

I own Atlas guns and think they are in a class of their own ( which is an entirely different discussion) but I think MPA makes a great gun for a reasonable price and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I've got the TC and a 38SC open gun on order. Thanks for the replies.

 

I have 2-DS-9,s both are ported have xtra bbl for one,two of the softest shooting guns I own!!

 

 

Only 150 rounds through it so far, feels amazing, but I need to get accustomed to the 2 pound tigger.

 

Is it worth getting one if someone already owns an XC?

 

I was able to sample a TC this weekend. While the gun was flatter and just a little softer shooting, I wouldn't go for one. You can be just as good with an XC. The XC really is the quintessential 2011 and it provides excellent value for the money.

 

Does it have an actual port or just a solid block? TIA

 

I have a LOC V2 on order

I've thought about getting a second barrel with the comp, but not sure it's worth it

 

I live in a commi state. The only way i could get the comped model was if they pinned and welded the comp onto it before they shipped it. The only color comp they could pin and weld was the sliver one. Which kinda bums me as out as i would have rather had it all black. But it is what it is

 

I have the non-comped version, it's fantastic. It's built like a tank and a super soft shooter.

 

The ported 9one i have is amazing. I can only hope the comped is better!

 

@BhamStaccato how was your DS9 TC?

 

Stupid question, is the comp or sight block permanently mounted or just comes right off?

 

" 4.6″ Threaded Barrel with Stainless Steel Single Port Compensator"

From the website.

 

What does the TC stand for? I have the DS9 Hybrid.

 

 

Yes it's a comp. Has a big port. Not a straight sight block.

 

Thanks

 

Is the TC worth the $500 price premium over the standard hybrid? I don't compete, I just want an awesome double stack 1911. I prefer the looks of the regular DS9 but if the TC is way flatter, I would probably pay the difference.

 

These definitely have garnered my interest. As many have mentioned, they are a great value and are well built.

 

These are great shooters and score well above their price point!

 

I thought the TC stood for Threaded Compensator

 

Anyone have the LOC v2 and compared to the standard Hybrid?

 

I've got both. The LOC V2 is noticeably heavier and that weight does make for soft shooting gun. Aside from the weight, they're ergomically the same. I enjoy the lighter Hybrid a bit more since it's more nimble. But I will say, if I'm shooting my normal, non-rushed, indoors cadence, just shooting for accuracy, I do a bit better with the LOC V2 and if I'm going a bit faster and still stationary, the LOC V2 does better for me too, but not by much.

Just yesterday, I took the LOC V2, my Titan, my Bul Air and my Hybrid to the range. I hadn't shot in weeks and just wanted to goof around so I decided to shoot all 4 with 50 rounds the same ammo at the same distances at roughly the same cadence. The results are below. 20 rounds at 30ft, 30 rounds at 50ft, 5 round groups, shooting at a relaxed but quick cadence. Fiocchi 115gr I had lying around. All guns have dots. Left to right and first to last shot are: LOC V2, Titan, Bul, Hybrid. Now, the results are probably skewed by me getting fatigued so maybe the Bul and Hybrid results aren't the best but the LOC V2 group is pretty usual for me. I want to go back and do this 3 more times, cycling thru the guns so each one gets shot first. The Atlas feels like shoots the most predictably, especially if I go fast, with the return to zero claim actually a thing (and I admit I shot it faster than the LOC). The Bul is always a delight since its so light with its plastic grip. I enjoy shooting the Hybrid the most TBH.
