My Patriot is almost finished, and I have gone with the 4.1" ported barrel. I'm going to run an EPS non-carry and a tlr-7 h-lx on it.
I have heard some comments about what works and what doesn't, but could anyone give me some specific appendix holsters that will definitely work for my setup? I'm thinking slim fit is my best option right now, but I could be wrong.
Please let me know!
I am trying to establish which of the mounting plate options on the Patriot (RMS-C, RMR, and DPP) would allow me to mount a Holosun EPS MRS without using the plate adapter. I am wanting to avoid the adapter so I can co-witness with my irons. Im not a fan of an elevated dot.
If that isn't an option for GP to provide, what are some good alternatives? I was considering the Romeo-X Enclosed Pro, but with half the battery life and no solar panel on top, I would feel like I am missing out somehow.
Thoughts?
I just ordered a Patriot for potential EDC use. I am really excited for it, but I wanted some opinion on my setup.
Right now, I have the Patriot ordered with the SS frame and the 4.1" ported barrel. I also have the regular grip instead of compact. My goal is to make the choices that influence it's flatness and recoil control the most even if I want to EDC it.
One of my concerns is related to the grip safety, which I do think I want on my gun. With a standard sized grip, will I struggle with it if I do not have large hands? I have heard mixed messages about the relative size of the grip, and my only owned pistol for reference is a sig P365XL.
I just want want to make sure the standard grip would work for me as far as my grip goes. I'm less worried about printing issues with it than I am with my ability to hold it well.
Thanks
I have heard a lot of good things about both manufacturers and guns. This will be my first owned 2011, and I would really prefer to not regret my pick.
I have read nothing but positive reviews about the Patriot, but I am worried I will regret having the gun ported instead of comp'd purely due to flatness and recoil management.
Kimber has more people who speak out about disliking it, but has many more people who claim to love it. The pro comp seems especially loved.
I know that coming from a striker-fired pistol, I will notice a night and day difference in how the shooting feels, but is there any advice that can be offered about how much smoother one may feel to shoot than the other?
Thanks
I am biting the bullet and looking into buying my first 2011. I have only shot striker fired pistols and daily a sig p365, so I know I will notice a huge difference in flatness and recoil no matter what choice I make.
That being said, I am looking into a gun with a budget of around $3,000, and have heavily considered the GP Arms Patriot with the 4.1" ported barrel. I have heard great things about it. Now I am seeing the majority opinion being that a comped 2011 will be flatter, slightly quieter, and easier to maintain than a ported one. I do not want to live with the regret of owning a ported 2011 if there are better options for me to potentially edc.
I do not shoot in comps, so there is no limiting factor for damping other than conceal-ability.
Any advice is appreciated.
