Why bother with striker fired when 2011 is a thing?
This video from Ben Stoeger explores the benefits of training with a polymer striker-fired pistol versus a higher-end 2011 platform. Stoeger suggests that while 2011s are inherently easier to shoot fast and accurately due to lighter triggers and heavier frames, training with a more challenging striker-fired pistol can prevent complacency and potentially improve overall shooting skill. He also notes that using a polymer pistol can help conserve wear and tear on a more expensive 2011, making it a viable strategy for competitive shooters.
