For years, I’ve categorized 2011-style firearms as competition pieces, perhaps thinking back to shooting USPSA Limited with my gone but not forgotten Infinity SV. Since those glory days, running and gunning while sneaking BBQ between stages, I’ve shot just about everything the industry has spit out, always finding my way home to a Glock for carry, home protection, and these days as a ranch companion. However, there’s no denying that the last few years have been the era of the 2011, and not just on the competition side. I’ve seen a fair share of law enforcement officers carrying these double-stack speed demons on duty, with almost everyone I know dipping a toe in the water, myself included. I mean, what’s there not to love?
