Ports better than comp? EREBUS VS APOLLO - Atlas Shoot off

This video explores the performance of high-end 2011 pistols, focusing on their impact on shooting speed and accuracy. Instructors Michael Dav and Cameron FA highlight the advantages of zero-slack triggers, low-friction actions, and compensated/ported barrels in achieving faster split times and flatter shooting. They compare these modern platforms to traditional 1911s, emphasizing the significant performance gains and the importance of proper technique to fully leverage the capabilities of these advanced firearms.

This video explores the potential of a heavily modified Sig Sauer P365, featuring a Kyro Defense 6511X grip and an Fdez XXL slide with ports and a comp, to compete with 2011 pistols. Testing reveals significant recoil reduction and improved handling due to the added mass and aggressive grip, though a notable velocity loss is observed with the ported slide. While accuracy with the modified slide is compromised, the overall package offers a surprisingly stable shooting experience for a compact platform.

Lena Miculek details the process of acquiring and assembling a new Benelli shotgun for the upcoming IPSC Shotgun World Shoot. She highlights the transition from her previous Mossberg platform, the importance of specific modifications like porting and optics, and the challenges of adapting to new controls. The video also covers initial test firing, ammunition selection, and her ambitious plans to set world speed shooting records.

This video explores the performance of the lightest 9mm ammunition available when fired from a heavily modified Canik Rival S pistol designed to minimize recoil. The experiment aims to determine if this combination results in exceptionally low felt recoil and reliable cycling. The results indicate a successful pairing, offering a potential 'cheat code' for competition shooting due to its minimal recoil and zero malfunctions.

This video showcases the select-fire capabilities of the Glock 18C, a factory-compensated machine gun. Expert shooter Jerry Miculek demonstrates its full-auto function, highlighting the effectiveness of its ported barrel and lightened slide in managing the high cyclic rate. The demonstration emphasizes the firearm's legal status for their use and provides a glimpse into its performance on the range.

This video documents the speaker's fourth USPSA competition, competing in Open Division with a Sig Sauer P320 X5 Legion. The P320 X5 Legion, featuring a ported barrel from Angel City Armory, is noted for its flat shooting characteristics and smooth slide action. A significant portion of the debrief focuses on reliability issues encountered due to problematic Herder ammunition, leading to numerous malfunctions and a decision to discontinue its use.

This guide details a practical experiment to debunk the myth that an AR-15 round would 'blow off' an ear. The Humble Marksman demonstrates through testing with pig ears that common rifle rounds, and even heavier calibers, create clean holes rather than explosive damage on thin tissue. The expert's analysis highlights the difference between tissue interaction and ballistics gel cavitation.

This guide showcases the specialized 'Space Guns' used in Open Division competition at the Double Tap Championship. It highlights custom 2011 pistols, advanced optics like C-More RTS2 and Sig Sauer Romeo3 Max, and high-end holsters from Safariland and Double Alpha Academy. The content, presented by a seasoned competition shooter, offers insights into the gear and techniques employed in high-level shooting events.

This guide details an efficient iron sight technique, drawing on insights from 3-division USPSA Grand Master Tim Herron. It emphasizes a shift from rigid front sight focus to a more effective target-oriented approach, using the rear sight for gross aiming and the front sight for fine-tuning. This method is particularly beneficial for shooters transitioning from red dot sights.

This guide details the disassembly process for three popular 2011-style pistols: the Staccato P, Springfield Armory Prodigy, and Bul Armory SAS II Tac 4.25. It highlights differences in guide rod systems, with the Staccato P featuring a toolless system, the Bul Armory requiring a paperclip or staple, and the Springfield Armory Prodigy needing a hex wrench. Proper maintenance of the guide rod system is crucial for reliable firearm function.
