This video reviews the LFA Apollo 11, a 9mm 2011 pistol from Live Free Armory, priced under $1000. The reviewer highlights its smooth action, bushingless barrel, lightning cuts, and a trigger with a short break and reset. Despite some initial sight adjustment needs, the pistol demonstrated good accuracy at 100 yards and a manageable recoil impulse, making it a compelling budget option in the 2011 market.
This video explores the impact of barrel length on bullet performance in self-defense scenarios. Through ballistic testing using a torso dummy, the presenter compares velocities and terminal effects of different barrel lengths with various ammunition types. The findings suggest that while barrel length influences velocity, shot placement and bullet construction are more critical factors in achieving effective results and preventing over-penetration.
This video provides a direct comparison between the CZ Shadow 2 and the Live Free Armory Apollo 11, highlighting their similarities and differences in features, price, and performance. Both are presented as capable 9mm handguns with 4.9-inch barrels and 17-round capacity, but they differ in action type (DA/SA vs. 2011 striker-fired) and included accessories. The reviewer expresses a personal preference for the Shadow 2 but acknowledges the Apollo 11's strong value proposition.
