Why so long to get on the 2011 train
Ben Stoeger explains his delayed adoption of 2011-platform handguns in USPSA competition. Historically, early 2011 magazines were unreliable, and popular calibers like 38 Super Comp and 40 S&W Limited led to frequent malfunctions. The shift towards 9mm Major and improved magazine reliability, particularly with Staccato's marketing to law enforcement, made the platform more viable. Stoeger now uses 2011s due to market trends and audience demand, acknowledging the platform's evolution.
