Yeah 2011s are great, the trigger is impressive and the good ones do legitimately shrink your groups to 1/2 of what they may otherwise be. The gun just does so much of the work for you. Plus, racking the high dollar ones feels like sliding wet glass on glass, it's unbelievable. That being said, with practice and a $900 CZ shadow 2 or even my $380 Arex with a couple $80 upgrades I shoot about as well as a nice 2011 that cost 5-10x as much. Not as well, but really fucking close. It's probably taken me about 5,000 rounds and an unknown ammount of hours with that arex to get my groups to that level, where the Atlas 2011 I shot my first two 7 yard 10 round groups were as good if not better than my best Arex groups. Up to you and your budget which path you choose. Humble marksman did an interesting video on a new sig 226 that talked about how he likes shooting his 2011s more and they FEEL better, but his groups and splits weren't really any better vs this $1,200 pistol. https://youtu.be/RnfpQhqk7IE?si=lc0g4z8zNDLi-OcV
Left is slow fire, right is fast fire with the Atlas Athena. I think the range rental guy told me all together it cost about $6,000 for this 2011 setup.
