The 2011 Project wrapped its fourth testing round on six high-end pistols after they faced Midwest summer heat and humidity. Models from Nighthawk, STP, Alchemy Custom Weaponry, Miller Precision, Atlas, and Dark Forge all proved capable of anchoring a collection. Asking prices ran from the mid four thousands to more than seven thousand dollars. Testers recorded strong speed and group sizes on several guns, while noting differences in grip feel, parts availability, and wait times near a year. A later piece will name one preferred pistol per category and ask whether striker-fired designs can take on 2011 traits.
