Thing I don’t like right now is lack of holsters.


Several companies released versions including the local guy, ANR located here in NH.

I used to run exclusively ANR AIWB. I had one and a coworker had one and both cracked around the screw holes within about a year.

Switched to JM Custom Kydex about 5 years ago.

I know quite a few P320 holsters will work for the P211, but I also don't have an exact list.

I'm also trying to decide between the P211, Kimber 2K11 Comp, or waiting for a BUL Armory Tac Pro Comp or another one of their ported guns. The pro with the Sig is locally I can get one basically tax free with my gun range membership while all the others would have to be ordered, but I'm not crazy about the weight. I'm not crazy about guns over 45oz unless they feel really good like my Tanfoglio Stock 2.

Thread bump, but the GT4 and GT5 variants are starting to show up at dealers for $2,099.99. The GT4 looks vary tempting, but I'll have to sell some stuff before diving in.

They break.

Generally on the fold seam on the inside front part of the holster.

Once safariland put out technical bulletin stating that you need to replace your 73xx holster if you get involved in a significant fight while wearing it, I was sorta done.

The GT5 actually looks interesting to me.

Keep in mind many SIG P320 holsters may work with a 211.

Let’s not derail the thread with talk of holsters, however.

Yes, the GTO is nice, but not a fan of comp duty guns. the flame in your field of view at night is disruptive and retention position firing goes better with a plain barrel

I’m at least a little intrigued by the GT4 and GT5 pistols. I’m just not a big compensated pistol guy. What holds me back a bit is that I hate MIM parts in more traditional pistols. I gladly pay a premium for non MIM part equipped pistols. While I’m sure these guns have less MIM than guns like the P320 and P365, I’m sure there’s still a bunch of MIM in there. I wonder if Bruce might have some forged tool steel replacement parts for MIM parts at his secret volcano base currently in development? I’ve handled a few of these 211 guns and I do like the way they feel. I could see myself buying one under the right circumstances, especially if I could get rid of most of the MIM parts.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

The GT5 has no comp.

Most of the MIM can be replaced with an EGW Ignition kit. The trigger and slide stops are unique to the gun, Atlas ambi safeties seem to work, and the beavertail and firing pin stop are pretty irrelevant if it's MIM/Forged/Billet.

Fondled a GT5 today. Have to say I liked it. I’ve shot about 500 or so rounds through the GTO and liked it a lot. The GT5 slide had a 320 feel to it.

I’ve resisted the 2011 for some time but the GT5 will likely win me over due to it fixes all the things I disliked about the 2011.

Also held one of the GTOs that had the aggressive grip panels on it. I liked them A LOT.
